We had a great Thanksgiving (aside from Carrie tending to a major flooding emergency at the mountain house!). I ran in the Turkey Trot at the crack of dawn, beating my previous 5k time by over two minutes! The boys and Remy were there to cheer me on, so that put a little pep in my step. After the race, it was home to watch the Macy's parade (my very favorite tradition), sip hot chocolate, and peruse the Black Friday ads (in which I had absolutely no desire to participate in). After family time on the couch, we headed to Matt's for a non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Please don't ask Nick how his experimental Chicken Mole turned out. Capped off by a night in front of the firepit, it was the perfect day.
Which brings me to my annual list of things that I am thankful for. Honestly, I can't remember if I do this annually or not. I'm lucky that I remember my own middle name these days. Regardless, here's the list for 2012; in no particular order...
1. Starbucks. If I do do this list annually, I'm sure this is a staple.
2. The DSW clearance rack. Did I mention the part about the dog and the shoes?
3. Grandparents. Or Nick and I would never get a date night.
4. Dance. Which I'm hoping will once again become a big part of my life.
5. Wine.
6. The Matchbox, Hot Wheels and Lego companies. For constantly giving me a reason to shout expletives.
And in all seriousness, my family, friends and beautiful children, who I love more than life itself.
