I had an amazing thanksgiving! Full of family, food, wine, games and lots of laughter. The best part of thanksgiving this year was that I got to cook the meal all by myself. I have always wanted to take on this challenge and this year my mom graciously stepped aside. The day before I baked homemade pumpkin pies and decorated them with with pumpkins and leafs from the leftover crust. The day of, I made the entire meal including homemade dinner rolls mmmmmmmmm! We had a full table of relatives and we all sat down at a table my mom decorated enchantingly. I don't believe I have ever been so thankful on Thanksgiving day. I was so happy to be around family (even if it did include a couple of fights). Also I spent a lot of the day dreaming about being a wife and a mother myself one day. Don't get me wrong I love my life today, as it is. I have huge career goals and love having the freedom of a single girl in the city! But I guess as I get older I am staring to realize the joy that can come from serving a family. Also I am noticing how fast life goes and I am wanting to focus on things that are truly important in life. So I am praying today that God ,in his timing, will direct me into the things in life that are eternal in value (whatever that looks like). I pray the same for you!
