family is any special person in your life, whether they be of blood or not...so i got a lot of worried phone calls today about whether we were going to celebrate thanksgiving... well to answer your question...yes we did. i had a change of heart last night at about 10pm or so. i did about an hour and 40 minute yoga workout and it changed everything. i was happy at the end. it's amazing what a difference just moving and breathing can make, you have no idea. i went to bed happy and even woke up happy, which if you know me at all i am NOT a morning person LOL. troy always teases me that it's a shame i am allergic to caffeine LOL. a hot shower and some yoga usually help though. i am such a different person after either. sometimes if i am in a grumpy mood he turns to me and says, "how about taking out your mat and doing some yoga?" LOL.
in addition, when i awoke this morning and during our morning cuddle session (basically we sit in bed and just talk and pet mojito's belly LOL, sometimes we cuddle up together, but usually those times lead to about an hour delay of some kind LOL) we decided to take the whole day off. now i can't remember the last time we took a day off, which usually means it's long overdue. so we did. we cuddled in bed and watched some of our favorite t.v. shows, he played a video game, i read a book, then we got ready to go to his parents house for thanksgiving dinner.
everyone was in a great mood, and his mom even ate with us! usually she just hovers and watches us eat, not fun i might add LOL. dinner was wonderful, she went all out. the turkey was super yummy and there were a ton of veggies. mojito even got some turkey. everyone was pleasant to one another as well. troy and i even took a stroll outside with mojito, the air was so clean with a slight breeze and about 70-80 degrees out. it was amazing. i totally wanted to eat outside LOL. mojito charged a cat that was like 3 times his size, it was pretty funny. well we thought so the cat was trying to figure out what the heck he was LOL.
after dinner we came back home and curled up to watch some more t.v. and spend some time together. all in all it was a pretty darn good day! tomorrow we have to work extra hard, but if you ask me it was totally worth it!
on a funny side note, the moment i walked in their door the first thing his mom and younger sister said to me (even before hi) was, "oh my gosh you're so thin!" LOL. i guess i have changed a lot (body wise) since the last time they saw me LOL. it was too funny though and totally took me off guard.
i also had a good (but short) conversation with my amazing sister debbie, my adopted mom marcia, and even my grandma! troy and i are planning that as soon as we can we will be spending that holiday out there with everyone, either thanksgiving or xmas, depends on well everything LOL.
the main question in a lot of people's status' today was: what are you thankful for.... well here's what i am thankful for...
an amazing husband (and a cute pup)
amazing friends and family that love me for me
for the wonderful gifts that God has blessed me with
for the opportunities awaiting me around the corner
for life...
thank you everyone for all your love and support, it means the world to me! i love you all!!!
happy turkey day to do all, and to all full bellies! <3
