Our Turkey Day

Happy 

Thanksgiving! 

I’ll have to keep this short to make sure I don’t burn the food!  Today will be my first solo cooking experience on Thanksgiving and as nervous as I am, I am so excited to have my family and friends to share it with. We will be having fried turkey with all the fixings. I’m taking a semi-homemade approach until I feel comfortable doing everything from scratch.  As we enter into the season of retrospection, I can’t help but tear up at the thought of all the blessings I have to account for. God has been so extremely generous to our family this past year and even with thanks and praise we are undeserving.  I hope your Thanksgiving is filled with family, friends, football, and food. If not all of the above, and least one or two. :)  Warmest Blessings! Gobble 'til ya wobble! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Our Turkey Day will be postponed until tomorrow, but I wish you all the best to you and yours. Shannon volunteered to take duty today for his Marines and it turned out to be very rewarding. Through an AYMCA program called "Home Hospitality," he got to see hundreds of single Marines off to foster families for the holiday. The Marines were treated to limos, party buses, and even luxury car rides to have Thanksgiving dinner with a host family. Although I didn’t get to be with my own Marine today, I am so thankful for all the families who adopted a Marine to celebrate this time of thanks. Hope in America restored! :) 

Again, I hope you have wonderful Thanksgiving and please say a prayer for all the uniformed service-members who sacrifice time away from their families so that you can spend time with yours.
