{Flying to Texas}

{sweetheart's birthday flowers}

I love this time of year. Everyone talks about what they're grateful for. I'm glad that my list of things to be thankful for is pretty long. Most importantly I have my health, family, true love, career, and desire for knowledge.

Today, my sweetheart & I are flying to Texas today to visit my Mom & Dad. The four of us have only spent a few hours together during undergrad Graduation a year and a half ago. Needless to say, we've all been looking forward to this trip to hang out and eat some delicious food. 

My Mom has been cooking for days, my Dad has built a fire pit in their back yard, and we packed days ago! There's been a lot of excitement for the trip, but I think we're all looking forward to focusing on what really matters. Not school, not work, and nothing stressful. 

If every week was like Thanksgiving week, the world would be a much better place.
