Fall is my favorite time of year. I've made that clear time and again. In case you forgot - there it is to remind you. I heart Fall. As family oriented as I am, we just don't have any true traditions for the fall holidays. It's kinda sporadic. So, this year, we have chosen to spend our Thanksgiving at the beach. We arrived earlier today - and it's 11pm - I'm in our bed in a beach house with a belly full of crab legs, wearing my lobster underwear (don't hate - they rock) and a tie dye t-shirt - fan on full blast, blogging, and watching an old Law and Order. Man, I could get used to this!! Downstairs, my little love is brushing her teeth, wearing her new Hello Kitty nightgown, getting ready to go night-night with Lovie. My big love is watching Fox News with my Dad. AND....to top it all off, my sweet Dubya is laying beside the bed with his chew toy. This is the life.
We've been here for about 8 hours and I already am relaxing a lot and am having a little moment of clarity about something that I am undertaking. I'm excited about a few more days of this....and lots of football, dinner with Jimmy's bff...alone time...family time....all of the above. I am thankful that we did this trip this year. I do love Fall and Thanksgiving - and I totally think it's quite alright to watch the Macy's parade, eat some honey baked ham and then play on the beach with your little love. OH...and who needs Black Friday when you have the outlet mall??!!
Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving...whether you are unconventional like we are this year, or if you are hanging at your Grandparents, or if you are like my sweet work peeps who are workin' hard for the money, or if you are spending 5 hours cooking for your family. I hope you all realize how blessed that you truly are - and think a lot about the One who gave it to you...all because He loves you :)
