On Thanksgiving Day 2007 we got to share Q'ddoba with about 70 of our closest friends and family. No restaurants were open, but the manager at one of Colorado Springs' Q'dobas agreed to open and cater dinner for all of us. The day AFTER Thanksgiving (November 23rd 2007) 130 guests joined us for a real sit-down Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings following our wedding ceremony. Two years ago today Paul and I got married! In his speech at the reception, my dad gave each of us a piece of advice. To me, he said to always remember that there is more than one shade of blue (Carolina blue v. Air Force blue). To Paul, he said to always remember that our anniversary is November 23rd - NOT the day after Thanksgiving. But what better time to be married? Thanksgiving has always been my favourite holiday. I love the family togetherness, the games, the wine, the good company, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the inevitable turkey comas. I love the leftovers, the desserts, and squeezing tightly together on the couch that is too small for all of us, and the mashed potatoes. To share all that I am thankful for with Paul and celebrate a day of thanks as well as our marriage is too good to be true. I am so thankful for Paul, for the relationship we share, for his unfaltering love and support, and the ways in which we've grown and changed together over the past two years!
