thanksgiving

so it's here, Thanksgiving. I can't believe how different life is and where i am typing this from. God is good and i love the way He leads. I think this is the first time in my 29 years of life that tomorrow really is just another day. Usually by now i will have arrived home, had breakfast at susies stoped at Starbucks with tara after school and eric is showing up and we are having cheese.... we sit and enjoy cheese and crackers and cider for a few mins. and then back at it with the cooking. Dad and bruce  and eric go count the kettles and the girls hit the kitchen. This year i won't be baking pies or eating at susies... please don't feel sad, i am in San Francisco, where it's not cold. Wait, yes this mornings 39 degrees felt awfully familiar. this year i will be some where else and it just doesn't meant the same. but, i have realize how much the Lord has blessed me with such a wonderful family. yes, we have our stories.. i will never enjoy roseville, CA but.. i'm over it  :)
but i have parents who love us.. and my brothers and sister who are awesome.
So, i am thankful for the family i have, the blessings God has lavished on us.. i am thankful for friends.. i am thankful for December 23 and contential airlines : )

So, cheers to a new way of celebrating Thanksgiving....
