Thanksgiving

First off, I want to wish all of you a very happy Thanksgiving.  I hope you all have/had a wonderful day.  I am now officially stuffed and can say I certainly enjoyed Thanksgiving.

Today is not only one of my favorite holidays of the year, but it also marks a milestone anniversary for me and Bryan.  We celebrate ten years of marriage today.  Ten years.  It feels like the past ten years have gone by in the blink of an eye.  Where did the time go?  In ten years time we have experienced so much.  We became parents of two beautiful girls, we brought and sold our first home, we've said goodbye to beloved pets and welcomed new ones into our homes, we've had some sorrows and many joys.  The past ten years have truly been an adventure and I'm glad I have my best friend at my side for this adventure of a lifetime.

I often look at pictures from our wedding day and marvel at how I had no way of imagining what lay before us in the years to come.  I suspect I'll say the same thing in another ten years of myself today.  What I do know is I'm looking forward to the adventures yet to come.

As I sat at Mass this morning I couldn't help but think of the many blessings in my life for which I am thankful.   I marveled at the journey that marriage has been for us and how it has transformed me.
