for everything...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It's been a while since we've been in the Sates for the holiday season so today I'm taking extra note of the things that have made our lives so full, wherever we've been in the past three years!

I'm thankful for our family and friends who have supported and encouraged our adventures every step of the way along with those who made every new experience more colorful and memorable. The well being and health of all of these special people, and the technology that let's us stay connected regardless of geographic location, are high on the gratitude list.

Sitting in our new apartment I feel so blessed to have a roof over our heads, a kitchen with food to nourish our bodies, and all the simple comforts that we sometimes take for granted on a daily basis. Looking back, we've been so fortunate to have several homes that allowed us to feel safe and comfortable in new environments. So many great memories!

And last but not least, I'm thankful for my beautiful man and partner in life: Joe. He makes every day the best day ever just by being by my side.

I hope you have a relaxing and fun weekend sharing special moments with the special people in your lives. Gobble Gobble!

There's a lot to be thankful for in this crazy adventure called life and I love being reminded of one person in particular (and a few places 1, 2, 3), every time I look at my left hand and see my rings.

No one is upset around here (and I hope you aren't either) but it's often too easy to take what we have for granted. With Thanksgiving happening in the States tomorrow let's all take a minute to give thanks for all of the good people and things in our lives. Because really, when it's all boiled down to the basics there is lots to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving, America!

Beat Connection - Silver Screen

A special feel-good song for a day when we take the extra time give thanks for everything and everyone in our lives.

There's much to be thankful for but ultimately the most important things are health, family, friendships, and love.

Missing all of my favorite people back home today - I love you!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
