|| thankful ||

Happy Thanksgiving! I love this holiday for it's obvious reasons, being: great food, family time, no work/school, and more great food. This year is a little different since we are separated from our family and friends and living in a country that doesn't celebrate this holiday for another month. The one thing we will be having today? Great food. Well I hope it turns out great. I am making a mini thanksgiving dinner for Brett and I tonight {thank you pinterest}. We were both feeling down yesterday after seeing our families post-thanksgiving dinner instgrams and hearing about all the fun they were having so I decided we weren't going to totally miss out. Wish me luck.

I also find it makes me happier when I take the time to think about all the many blessing that my father in heaven has given me. I am sometimes overwhelmed with all that I have been given and wonder how I am deserving of such amazing things. I am a very grateful and happy girl this thanksgiving.
