Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
We are so thankful for the love and friendship of everyone and we are so blessed to have been given so much to be thankful for. We hope that God has blessed each one of you as much as he has blessed us.

As for our Thanksgiving, today Phil is completing his 9-day stretch of work, so for our afternoon (he will be home about 4p), we are having some of his co-workers over for some appetizers, adult beverages and of course, watching the football games (Phil says that he roots for anyone that plays against the Cowboys!) and just having a relaxing evening. Tomorrow, we will have our real feast of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberries, bread, green bean casserole, cookie salad and pumkin pie. Yes, it is only the two of us and yes, we will be eating leftovers until we are green in the face :) I'm sure we will have stories and many memories to share of our first thanksgiving, our first big meal to cook and our first Black Friday shopping experience!

Last year in Midland, the town was 'covered' with a little over an inch of snow, but with the high around 65 today, I don't think we'll get anything but sunshine. I'm hoping the snow is just building power and we'll have a few inches of snow for Christmas (but not much later because I want my mom and dad to be able to drive down here on the 28th)!

Once again, happy turkey day to one and all and may you have much food to fill your stomach and many blessings to fill your heart!
