This year, Thanksgiving fell on my birthday and I can't think of a better way to spend it than with family and great food. We had almost everything to eat that you could imagine and although EVERYTHING was delicious, I am still partial to the sweet potato souffle, dressing, and chocolate cake! After we got our bellies full, we played a fun game of Mexican Train Dominoes. Once you get past the confusion, it is a really neat game.

Since it is Thanksgiving, I will share a few things that I am most thankful for at this particular point in my life...

* Jesus' love & forgiveness

* My wonderful husband

* Our families

* Our true friends

* My health (even though sometimes it feels like I am falling apart at twenty-something!)

* Our home

* Our jobs (they were both God-sent)

* Chocolate (I would die without it! HA)
