Thanksgiving

Well this year was a little different for me because I live so far from my family so luckily Marshall had the time off so I got out of work early on Wednesday and as soon as I got home we got in the car to drive to Marshall's dads house. It is about 4 hours away.
Thanksgiving is the most traveled holiday of the year so ummm yeah we came up against some traffic. If any of you know Marshall you know how bad his road rage is...for those of you who don't know him that well lets just say that he wasn't a happy boy at all :)
We finally got there about an hour later then we thought. Not a big deal. As soon as we got there I started cooking. I volunteered to make the dinner rolls for Thanksgiving dinner. Marshall had to run to the grandparents house to pick up a couple of things that we needed. It took me a couple of hours but it wasn't a big deal at all. I knew what needed to be done and I knew that I didn't want to do it all on Thanksgiving morning :)
Thanksgiving was a lot of fun and my rolls were a hit...so they all told me :) As always there was a ton of food. Thankfully I ate just enough to make me satisfied but not too full. I don't like to get too full because then I get tired and just want to sleep. I didn't fall asleep though even though I wanted to :)
It was really great to be around family this time of year. It really meant a lot to me that Marshall's family made it just like it is at my house this time of year. I asked Marshall what he was thankful for on Thanksgiving and he said everything. I was hoping for a more personal answer and I tried to pry it out of him but obviously I didn't get anywhere. So had I been asked what I was Thankful for this year my answer would have been....
Marshall. I don't evevn know where I would be without him. He is such a great guy. He is always there when I need him. He takes care of me when I don't feel good and gets me everything I need. I need to stop before I get to emotional :) I want everyone including him to know how much I love him!
My extended family :) They are so great. They include me in everything and always make me feel welcome. It meant the world to me to have them make Thanksgiving extra special for me this year.
My own family even though we couldn't be together this year. I want them to know how great I think they are and how much I love them.

With all of that said please post comments about what you are Thankful for this year and why because I would love to hear what others are Thankful for :)
