Thanksgiving! What I am thankful for

Thanksgiving! It was a long road to get hear but after it passed I must say it shows me that god works in mysterious ways. My husband and I debated whether we should take to hour drive and visit his family. I wanted to stay here in town. I gave in and thought that it would be okay to go so that we could stay here for Christmas. Which was the original plan anyways.

I than was excited when it turned out we could spend thanksgiving here. I am thankful that I was able to spend the with my family and it was a great day. I am thankful for the time I was able to spend with them. Its never easy to balance 3 family get togethers every holiday. We have my mom family, my dads family and my husbands. I am thankful for every family member that has helped through a difficult year.

I watched the parade why finishing up cooking this morning and rest of the day was dinner and family time. I think that's the nice thing about thanksgiving for me Its about family no mater where we ended up it would have been family. I am going to see my husbands family Sunday here. It's going to be a busy day getting ready for but family is worth all the effort that we go to for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I am hopping that as we enter the season that it will be filled with all the joy of the holiday season. I want to try to make this year foucus on family as it should be and happy that everything worked out so far.

choices

hi! I am trying to make some choices sorounding Thanksgiving. I thought I had all sorted out until tonight again. This year has been rough and it's hard to explain all in one blog post so I will give the sort version.


When my husband and I got married we decided that we would trade every holiday. If we had Thanksgiving with his family we have Christmas with my family ect. This is a hard year and my husband and I have some difficult choices. This year my family had been through a lot and I feel I should stay with my family this year for Thanksgiving as well as Chirstmas although we need to spend time with his family. I understand that he needs to see his family as well. It's just a hard choice I wanted to host a Thanksgiving weekend for his family. I don't want to upset anybody involved. Complicated

I am just am trying to find the best suction for everyone involved my husband and I are just faced with the choice of his family or mine and I can't come up with a simple soulton. I hope I
That god will guide us to the right choice.
