Our first major holiday...

So Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I have to be honest...I'm getting really excited. Last year this time I was of course VERY single and unhappy. It's so funny because this is possibly the first year in a VERY long time that I have not been depressed around this time of year. In the past, the holiday season served as a reminder that I didn't have anyone. Once I graduated from college I just felt that I was too old to keep going home to "mom and dad's" for the holidays. I felt that I needed my own family unit to celebrate with. I use to go my sister's house and celebrate with her, my niece and nephew but in the end it wasn't all that fulfilling.

I'm so excited that this year I have a husband and the opportunity to start OUR very own traditions for our family. I think that's the exciting part....starting a tradition. I think the tradition will take our married life to the next level. This will be the first tradition for our family..isn't that neat?

On a different note, I had a great conversation with my BFF Jeffy tonight. We went down memory lane spiritually tonight. It's amazing the difference that a year makes in our lives. We serve a truly amazing God. When I think back to where I was a year ago and where I am now....I can't help but get chills! I can't stress enough the importance of allowing God to bless you in his time.
