About an hour ago it began snowing. Big, wet, snowflakes. Eric and I experienced our first Indiana snow and Huxley experienced his first snow EVER! It was truly a bonding moment for our little family. We are lucky to have each other, we are lucky to have a happy life, we are lucky to be in Indiana, and we are lucky that our first snow was such a beautiful one!
Pear Tree Greetings sent me the cutest Thanksgiving cards to give to whomever I chose! I gave one to my husband, Eric. I don't think husbands are thanked enough for all that they do for their wives. Eric is so good to me every day and he deserves a GREAT BIG thank you for being such a wonderful husband. Eric, I am most certainly thankful for YOU on this Thanksgiving day. I also wrote one of the cards to my parents. They have been my biggest cheerleaders as I embarked on this journey to follow my dream to be a college professor. I could not have survived this move to a new state without their love and support. I am so thankful for the two of YOU, I am so lucky to have the best parents in the world. Finally, I wrote my last card to my in-laws. Thank YOU guys for raising the most amazing son. Without you, I wouldn't be married to the man of my dreams. I owe you two big time. :) If I had a thousand more cards I still wouldn't be able to thank all the people who've made my life so fulfilled. To all of you out there who've touched my life and my heart in any small way, I thank YOU!
This Thanksgiving, I'm Thankful For...YOU!
