This by far is the oddest Thanksgiving of my life :) No turkey trot to run, no Macy's Day Parade to watch on TV, no oven to cook Thanksgiving dinner in, and no days off of school. I am thankful that I have to work today. It is far better to busy than to sit at home and have a pity-party for myself. This morning while my amazing husband and I ate breakfast, we started on the annual Thanksgiving Thankful list of 2010 (you can click here to read the entire list). Every year I write a list of 100 things I am thankful for. My amazing husband made me chocolate-chip banana pancakes for breakfast today. I added peanut butter instead of syrup - they were delicious!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, back to the making of ze list :) I simply asked, what are you thankful for? And he started listing off (to me) the most random things. Then I realized that he was looking around our kitchen naming off things he saw. When he got to number 44 and stated "Chick flicks" I raised my eyebrows and asked why he was thankful for chickflicks. His reply, "What movies would I take you to, if there weren't chick flicks?" Yup - he is a keeper!
We only got to number 80 by the time breakfast was over and we had to get ready for school. So I finished the list today while I was at school and typed it up.
Tonight we will eat dinner with other Americans and watch a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving on Youtube. Not what I ever imagined my first Thanksgiving married to be like, but then sometimes life throws you surprises and things unexpected. Do I miss home? Most definitely. Do I miss my family and friends? Even more so. Am I thankful that my amazing husband and I are growing closer to each other and God through this great adventure? You betcha. Will I bore my children some day with stories of my first Thanksgiving married to their father? Sure thang hahahaha. Suggestion: go make your own thankful list :) (it is fun, I promise)
