Mostly, I'm just thankful that we live within two hours of our families. We traveled home after work on Wednesday and I have always found the hour and a half drive to be relaxing and not overwhelming.
November 22nd: My family
Happy Thanksgiving! We spent all day with my family. Coffee, cinnamon rolls, and conversation in the morning and a mid-afternoon lunch with my extended family. We ended the day with my mom watching The Fugitive on the big screen in the basement. I wish I could rewind and go back.
November 23rd: My Husband's family
Happy Thanksgiving round 2! Because our families live right down the road we can spend time with both families. We lounged with Seth's siblings, parents, and his grandparents and cousin who came in from Oklahoma. I am so thankful for the love and acceptance of my Simmons family.
November 24th: Ben and Jen, Friends
By Saturday we were back at home and we had a wonderful day with our good friends Ben and Jen. They have been good friends for a long time and I always enjoy when they come out to visit. Seth and Ben spent most of the day in the basement working on writing and recording new music (so good by the way!) and Jen and I did some crafting (Jen crocheting and me putting up Christmas decorations). We are really compatible and they remind me how good friends are :)
November 25th: My Camera
I am starting to settle in to this camera and I am loving it! Seth has me take pictures and video each Sunday to gather footage for our church's website. I am still learning, but I really feel that I have picked up a lot. I only use the manual setting, which I guess is rare for a beginner. I'm really dreaming of getting some sort of business going sometime in 2013. I'm also thinking of doing a photo challenge in December. (now I just need to learn how to edit!)
November 26th: Christmas Season
OK, now we can all start thinking about Christmas. Yes, I am one of those "please don't start decorating/listening to Christmas music before Christmas" kind of person. But the weekend after thanksgiving it is all fair game! I started decorating on Saturday but we still need to put up our Christmas tree (I won't do that without Seth).
So very blessed to have you in my life. Such a great friend and fellow sister in the Lord. :-)
