Turkey Day

I've made it through the first major holiday sans husband. It wasn't so bad. I got to talk to him on the phone. AND I get to see him in three weeks :) The next "holiday" to make is through is my birthday, but I do get to see him at Christmas time. Anyway, I thought I'd make a boring list of things I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving (All ten minutes that are left of it)

List of Thanks as follows:

~I got a phone call from my husband today :) He's in Boston.
~I had a friend to go see the Twilight movie with! Cheesy, but awesomely bad.
~Stove top stuffing.
~Cranberry sauce that retains the shape of the can it came from.
~For festive Christmas decor. A little bird told me if you stop caring about decorating your home you might be depressed. I am NOT depressed-I am full of Christmas decorating cheer!
~Family! Young and old, I am very thankful towards them all.
~I have a new book about Dragons to read (Thanks Marty!)
~That my cat loves me so much
~That Heidi and Spencer got married.
~I think all my students got to eat turkey today. I thought of them often.
~Honestly, I'd like to thank the crayola family of products. I really like them. This might be a teacher thing-but hey
~The "pictures in seconds" machine at CVS. I really like this invention. Thanks Kodak!
~For having a best friend.
~For my parents always letting me crash at thier house and never giving me the evil eye when I ask.
~For Jesus, my Savior, who uses the weak to shame the strong. Thank goodness He loves and cherishes the weak! AND that He is looking over each and everyone of my little charges during this time!
~For my husband, who is really awesome and whom I love very much. Who is a manly patriotic man serving the Lord in the military and being really dedicated. I miss him very much, but am thankful for the stand up kind of guy he is. It was tough to go through Thanksgiving without him, but I know that it's for a good reason.
So, that's about all. I mean, I'm thankful for lots more, but this is just what came off the top of my head.
Love, Kaley
