We had a wonderful, whirlwind trip to Texas for Thanksgiving. A few highlights:
- Visiting Whitney and her little boy, Finn
- Baking apple pie and Grandma's rolls with Mom and Hannah
- Playing Just Dance with Hannah and Matt
- Introducing cousin Justin to our family's craziness
- Walking and talking with my Dad
- Enjoying a GIGANTIC Thanksgiving dinner with Darby's extended family
- Eating my first meal at Babe's Chicken Dinner House. Yum!
Because we went to Oklahoma City with Darby's family, I had to miss out on my annual Black Friday shopping trip with my sister. I was sad, but she understood, and I was glad we were able to see all of Darby's extended family, especially his grandpa.

As always, I have much to be thankful for: family and in-laws that I truly look forward to spending time with, close friends, both old and new, a spouse I can be with 24/7 and still not be tired of. Now I'm trying to maintain that spirit of gratitude as I push through to the end of the semester. I just want it to be Christmas! I have to remember that, when I was working, I dreamed of being back in school. This is what I want to be doing. That's my new mantra. :)

I also ate at Babe's for the first time during our Thanksgiving travels! So yummy!
I just love the picture of you and your siblings! That's a great memory to have. :-)
