Happy Thanksgiving!

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving Day! I got to bed around 11:30 last night. Didn't take me too long to get the stuff made that I needed to make. I got up in time for the parade, which Rusty said started at 9:00. Come to find out, it started at 8:00! Oh well, I tried. I got all our food ready to go and we enjoyed a nice lunch followed by a nice nap! LOL! Kind of nice being here at home and eating lunch in my jammies!

After my long nap I had to get ready to go to the Moore's for Thanksgiving. It was a big one with the Werth side of the family. They are so welcoming and so friendly. It was like we were just another relative. I love sitting there and listening to Grandma and Grandpa Werth's German accents. Their grandson, Josh, had just been ordained a Catholic Deacon so we looked at some pictures of that. I got to see my two favorite kiddos, Georgia and Jett, and also got to see some other cute ones! Curtis and Staci got there kind of late so we ended up staying until 9:00 with them! We were one of the two last couples to leave and it wasn't even our true family! LOL! My banana pudding and cheeseball were a hit! Yeah! Looks like I will be making that for them each year. I like it.............gives me a reason to get in there and bake some stuff! I am already looking forward to the baking of the holiday season!

Well, along with my friend Andrea I will list a FEW of the things that I am thankful for.

1. My husband
2. At this time, friends who ARE family
3. Health
4. Food that nourishes our bodies (not everyone got to have a meal like we did)
5. My furbabies!!
6. The ability to live our lives the way we want.....no regrets and allowing nothing and no one to hold us back from what we want or think we want.
7. I can't forget to mention the new friendships I have gained since moving back to Hays and also the ones I have rekindled.

I am truly blessed. I know I have my family back home, I have many wonderful friends and "family" here, and we both have jobs that help us survive in this joke we call the economy.

Hope you all enjoy your holiday weekend and stay safe!
