Week 47: Thanksgiving

I am hosting my second Thanksgiving in Seattle in a few hours. What started out as a meal for about 12 has grown to 20 people over the last few days. I think there is plenty of food and if not I'll make PB & J sandwiches. This is what the place looks like now. In a little while it will be filled with friends and food.

I have a lot to be thankful for below is just a small sampling of what I am thankful for this year.

My Family. I love the fact that my sisters and I get along so well. I have an amazing niece and nephew. I wish didn't live so far away from them but it just makes the time that we spend together all the better.


This guy. He has definitely been a nice addition to the year. Funny how things happen when you least expect it.

Friends. I have an incredible set of friends that span the globe. Some I only see once a year some fewer than that but I know I can count on them if I need anything.

Monsters. They're both staring at me as I write this. I'm not sure they are very thankful at the moment they still are getting used to the big yellow beast.



The big yellow beast. Even though she torments the cats I think I will let her stay.



A job that enables me to travel. Hard to believe I've been with the company for 6 years and I still enjoy going to work every day. The travel I do for work earns me frequent flier miles and hotel points that I then use for me, my friends and my family.

I hope you all enjoy your Thanksgiving.
