I don't even like turkey

Thanksgiving. A great holiday that I look forward to every year. I had to work on Thanksgiving this year and it was the first time we would be away from family and therefore away from moms and grandmas who know how to cook. Colin suggested that we to a restaurant to celebrate. I am a big believer in traditions so I simply knew I had to attempt cooking a Thanksgiving dinner. I decided we would have the essentials: turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, salad and pie. So I went online and found the easiest recipes I could and went for it. It was mostly edible. The turkey was okay at first and then I realized that I always prefer ham over turkey. I thought everything was delicious and I was so proud of myself. Colin was not so thrilled but I wouldn't even let him comment about anything because I knew I would punch him if he said anything negative. Overall we had a lovely dinner.

I love Thanksgiving so much because it is a great time to reflect on all there is to be thankful for. I am so grateful for just about everything in my life. I feel so blessed to be able to have such a wonderful husband. He is such an amazing person and he finds a way to love me despite my craziness. I am grateful for our families. We both have such different but amazing families who love us and would do anything for us. I am thankful that Colin and I both have jobs that we mostly love and that allow us to live in the amazing city of Chicago. I am also so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the testimony I have that he is the Savior of the world and that he loves me and all of us. I could continue this list on for another 3 pages but you would be bored I am sure. Basically if you are reading this just know that I am grateful for you. I am sure that no matter who you are you have affected me in ways that you may not know and you have made me a better person through your friendship and example. I love this holiday season and I hope we can all enjoy it!
