On turkey day, and blessings...

Well, Thanksgiving was good... not great, but good. The food was wonderful, and the people I spent the day with are my favorite people in the world, but it just felt like there was something missing... I know exactly why, too. I used to always spend the day with my (ex)husband and children, going to my in-laws for one meal, and my parents for the other. This year (and last), I didn't get to go to my (ex) in-laws, because they are my EX-in-laws! lol I really missed the time with them, and the tradition of being there. I'm still very close to them and we spend time together pretty often, so it's kinda sad for us all the way around. I still let the kids go with their dad to eat lunch over there this year, and then Ryan and I picked them up and we went to eat dinner at my parents, which was wonderful... except that my brother and new sister-in-law went out of town to be with her parents for Thanksgiving, so I really missed them as well. We didn't get to see Ryan's parents at all because they live so far away... maybe next year? Anyway, as far as being thankful for your blessings goes... I definitely am! I couldn't be happier with the family and friends that I have. We have a beautiful home with just enough room for our family, beautiful, healthy children, wonderful parents and friends, jobs that pay the bills, and God's forgiveness and love! I am truly blessed, and truly thankful.
