Gobble Gobble, Y'all!

I hope everyone has a delightful day with family, friends and food.  We're having lunch at my dad's house - first time I've spent Thanksgiving with his family since Jeremy and I have been married! - and then we'll be parked in front of the TV watching the Longhorns play tamu.

On our menu for today: my dad is taking care of turkey, dressing and gravy; his wife is making sweet potato casserole; my sister is making our mom's homemade rolls, sweet potato casserole, and key lime pie; and I'll be bring green bean casserole and pumpkin chiffon pie.

We usually don't do Black Friday shopping (I'm more of a Cyber Monday kind of girl), but my sister and I might try to be at Anthropologie at 6 AM for a super secret sale!  Then Jeremy and I will be off to Dallas for the weekend to be part of Becky and Aaron's wedding.  I will be sad when the wedding streak of 2011 ends and I won't have all these excuses to see my friends as much!

And here are some things I am thankful for this year:

-Our jobs.
We are really lucky to have gotten jobs so easily back here, and though we are both busier, we are very lucky for all that our jobs are able to provide us.
-Sawyer, Jeremy and the rest of our family.
The best part of being back in Houston!  And Sawyer is obviously the most awesome baby ever, so he just makes my life feel complete and happy.
-Friends!
Especially Pam for meeting me at the movies last night so I could see Breaking Dawn.  But I love all our other friends too, and they all so much joy to our lives.
-Shellac.
Yep, I went there.  And don't deny it, because it's true.  Shellac is the best beauty invention ever in the whole entire world.
-Jeremy.
I know, I mentioned him above.  But really, I am so thankful to have him in my life.  He's been working crazy hours lately and it makes me appreciate the times when he is home - he's so wonderful with Sawyer, and he also does a lot for me around the house and helping out with Sawyer and Dixie and manly chores that I don't like to do.  We miss him when he's not around!  And on top of that, I would fall down and die in a puddle of tears if I was working like he has been, and he does it generally without complaint.  His work ethic always impressed me, and though his hours are bad, I am so proud of the job he does.
-AT&T Uverse Cable & Internet.
It is awesome compared to our horrible Comcast service, and I am really happy about the switch.
-Health.
Something we all probably take for granted, but I am very thankful for our continued health.

Happy Turkey Day!
