Thanksgiving 2009

We were spoiled this year for Thanksgiving... we got three yummy dinners! We celebrated with Matt and Cathy and family on Wednesday night. Dinner was DELICIOUS, and we had a fun playing "Guesstures", and "Imagine-iff". Thursday night we celebrated with Dan's parents and siblings...again DELICIOUS! After dinner we went and saw "Blindside" and played pool/ping pong. Saturday we celebrated with Dan's extended family...a third DELICIOUS dinner. After-wards, we lounged around at his Aunt Mar's house watching the football game and playing cards, and laughing at hilarious family stories. Our week was great, but I will be working my butt off in the gym this week to get rid of all the pie, stuffing, and mashed potatoes I ate! Here are some pics of dinner with the Brickey's:

I have so much to be thankful for this year. At times, I get caught up in all my wants and desires that I forget just how much I do have and how blessed Dan and I are. Here are a list of the things I am most thankful for at this time (not necessarily in order of importance):
1. My husband, who is the only man who can put up with me :)
2. My job. We have a steady income, free rent, and a flexible schedule so that Dan and I can both go to school.
3. Family, all of them! At times I get frustrated with family affairs, but when it comes down to it, family is who has helped me become the person I am today. They are there for me to lean on, to laugh with, and support me in what I do.
4. Friends. I have the best friends in the world! Many of them are considered family.
5. My health
6. My religion
7. The opportunity i have to go to school.

And many, many more things! These are just a few quick ones that came to mind. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, and were able to think about all the things you are thankful for!
