Happy day, Happy Thanksgiving!

November 26th 2008

husband and i are off to williamsburg, virginia to spend the weekend with family and have a colonial thanksgiving! we are very excited! and i have this little feeling we might have lots of crazy photos to post once we return home to new york. {you never know…}

in the meantime, today i am especially thankful for {in no particular order}:

husband {bet you saw that one coming}
parents, sisters, isaac….family {i sort of have the best}
society’s crab cake sandwich, 40 carrot’s fro yo, the grey dog’s blt
french toast everywhere
cell phone chargers, batteries
sprinkles cupcake mixes
friends, strangers, taxi drivers, street performers, people everywhere
cuddles, kisses, smart wool socks
laughs, health, no cavities
this book
warm apple cider, cheese danishes
my faith, service, babies, children, future family, eternal families

happy thanksgiving!

{and this photo doesn’t have anything to do with thanksgiving,

but it’s an old one i just found from way back in 2006 and it made me happy.}

husband and i are featured on glamour magazine’s smitten blog sharing one of our favorite things we like to do together. go read it here.

thanks to the lovely joanna from A CUP OF JO for the wonderful write up.

here are some photos of the featured fort we made this weekend:

{husband and i have a history with building forts. they are also special to us because it’s where husband proposed to me!}

because he is really good at cuddling. and he brings me treats.

husband and i had a slight miscommunication last night about what time we were meeting up for dinner.

needless to say, we didn’t have dinner together {so much for cell phones, schedules, meeting places. sometimes we’re lame.}

but he did walk through the door last night with some lovely flowers, and a little grocery bag of all my favorite treats.

it was very unexpected. and i was delighted.

so in honor of thanksgiving this week, i am thankful for husband. he’s my favorite person ever. and i love him.

baby steps, lovely faces & edward.

i went to juilliard yesterday.

and by that, i don’t mean walking by 65th and broadway…

i mean i actually went inside.

walked in, went to a performance, saw and chatted with all the faculty and students, made my way down familiar hallways and actually hung out inside a dance studio.

oh my gosh i can’t tell you how my heart was pounding when i stepped into the lobby.

but i did it.

i swear that place can do things to you by just being in its proximity

{good and bad}.

call me crazy, but you’ll just be right.

it sounds so silly, right?

but i’m so proud of myself. baby steps, you know…

{these people made it easier. i told sarah before walking in that she wasn’t to leave my side at anytime.}
