- I have the most wonderful fiance, who says sweet things like "I like to be close to you" and other such things.
- My family is amazing and supportive, and I can't imagine life without them.
- My mom is nearly done with her chemo treatments, which is enough to be thankful for! Only 2 more treatments, 2 more weeks!
- I'm thankful my dad and brother are around to take care of her.
- I'm thankful that when our roof was leaking, and basement started forming puddles, I could not only rely on Dino but also my dad to make me feel better about the situation and stop freaking out. And I'm thankful that the roofing company is fixing it and also has to pay for our drywall to be replaced! If a house issue comes up, it sure is nice to not be responsible for the cost.
- I am so thankful that I am for the most part healthy, and have a warm home to live in.
- I'm also thankful the utility company is fixing the leaky pipe in our yard, and that yet again it is not our expense since it is on their side of the meter!
One of the biggest things I am thankful for, and this is somewhat wedding related, is that I am marrying into the best family. I am so grateful for that, and for them! We spent last weekend at his parents' house, and had thanksgiving with them. They are beyond wonderful by being so flexible with celebrating holidays; we discussed Christmas plans as well, and they are okay with us celebrating early with them for that as well. I feel a little bad that my family is hogging us for the actual days, but it almost works out better this way.
They are also just wonderful people. I guess his parents had talked about not being those demanding in-laws that get a bad rap. They couldn't be further from that! They are not too involved, don't make any crazy demands or guest list changes or anything, and basically are more than happy to just let us do our thing and help out where they can. Seriously, I don't think I could ask for better in-laws.
My FMIL is also taking this rehearsal dinner thing and totally running with it! Unfortunately, my #1 choice and reason for thinking of food trucks, Molly Moons, is not sure they will be doing private parties next year. WHY?!?! It's like, guaranteed money! I want to pay you! Argh. But they won't know for sure until the spring, so we just have to sit tight, or make other plans. So I'm not sure what we want to do, but I'm kind of okay letting her make those decisions.
They are also letting us tag along on another trip to Hawaii next year, after the wedding! It'll be like a second honeymoon, but with his family... Not as awkward as it sounds! So exciting! Just like the trip this year, when we got engaged.
Anyway, on the eve of Thanksgiving, I wanted to take a moment to mention how lucky and grateful I am for everyone and everything in my life. When I was little, more than anything I always said I wanted to be HAPPY when I grew up, and I think I am well on my way to that goal!
