Thankful
November 21st, 2007 @ 2:58 pm by Mrs. Butterscotch
Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I’m taking a moment to reflect on how much everything has changed since last year, and all that I am thankful for. This time last year we were newly engaged, not living together and we had barely started to plan our wedding. Now we are happily married, living together in our first house we bought 
, and the wedding is all but a memory. Sure we did have a few bumps in our road this year but, I am so thankful for everything we have. We have wonderful family and friends that are all in good health and I have a new fabulous job that I am loving. Best of all, each night I get to curl up next to Mr Butterscotch and wake up next to him each morning.
How about you - what are you thankful for this Thanksgiving eve?

This time last year, we were not even engaged (though I found out later he’d already bought the ring.) Now, we’ve already had the wedding AND celebrated one month together!
This time last year we were both still in college. Now, we both have good jobs that we enjoy and live in an apartment that really feels like home.
This time last year, we were technically living together, but we had two additional roommates so it wasn’t romantic by any means. We each went to our own hometowns for the holiday to be with our own families.
Even though I won’t be seeing my family until Christmas, I am thankful that I have my husband’s family to spend Thanksgiving with. While I’ve been a part of their lives for the past 3.5 years, this is the first holiday that I’ve really been part of their family.
I’m thankful that after being out of work, both of my parents have found jobs. I’m thankful for all our friends and family and for my husband. And I’m thankful that I’m not allergic to turkey!!!

About Me: I am marrying my high school sweetheart 11 years after high school ended! I am a self professed shoe fanatic with a closet full of shoes and only two feet. Planning a wedding has been my fun project since he surprised me with a proposal in Paris. We are spending our last few months preparing for our big day by wrapping up all the small things, buying a house and best of all preparing to live together for the first time.
My guy, my guy’s new job (yay for benefits!), our warm and safe home, my parent’s health, my health, my aunt’s health (she broke her neck in a nasty fall down the stairs and has made a good recovery), and the fact that I don’t have to travel anywhere to enjoy all of these things.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
