I should probably preface this post by saying I am extremely Thankful for all the people and things in my life. I pray and thank the Lord for them each and every day. With that said...
I should go ahead and tell you I wasn't feeling all the warm fuzzies that are normally felt on this thankful overladen holiday. Several things attributed to my bah-hum-bug-ness, and I could pretend that I was all mushy and gushy about my love for everything all day long, but I want to be real. It just didn't happen this year. Any readers left? I realize I'm a downer. I kinda-sorta redeem myself. (Well, if you consider the fact that I didn't steal the turkey and trimmings and shove them up a fireplace to my awaiting sleigh...)
Anyway, we had a big debate of where to go this Thanksgiving, what to do, who to see, what to do afterward to the point of ad nauseum. At one point, I just threw my hands up and proclaimed that Well fine, then. We'll just stay home, order pizza, and see no one! Not one of my grandest moments, I tell ya. Could have contributed to the overall apathy of Thanksgiving this year. Any-who, we eventually decided that we'd go to my paternal grandparents' in Kentucky and from there Zach would ride back with my brother and then go hunting at his grandparents' farm, and I would continue on down to Alabama with my Mama, Mama Joyce, and Suzanne. In the end, I am glad we didn't stay home, and that we both had fun on our separate adventures.
#1 thing I am Thankful for this year? The fact that I have 364 days before I have to think about Thanksgiving again!!
(I kid, kinda.........)
