We had lots to be grateful this year: health, family, friends, love!
The Thanksgiving Holiday started with the arrival of Gaby from San Francisco. Monday and Tuesday I spent hours at her house finishing up my wedding dress patters and learning how to cut fabric. The process has been so much fun for me! I'm so thankful that Gaby is giving me such a great gift!
On Wednesday, my brother drove down from Iowa with some friends. Our first Thanksgiving stop was at Ryan's grandparents were we joined his whole family for the traditional Thanksgiving meal. Best part was the desserts: a variety of everything pumpkin! After Ryan's family, we went to my friend Shelagh's house were we joined her family and some friends from the MBA program for an international Thanksgiving. When I say international I mean it. We had representation from China, India, Kenya, Puerto Rico, and of course, the US. Everything was very delicious and by the end of the night we were all about to burst!
We woke up Friday around 4:15 am to hit the stores for black Friday deals. Ryan and my brother finally got the suits they will be wearing at the wedding! We had a lot of fun shopping but by 8:30am we were all so tired we could no longer bare the lines, no matter how good the deals were.
Friday night, Ryan's family joined us for a Puerto Rican Thanksgiving at our house. I really enjoyed cooking for everyone. :)
Christmas decorations are now up!!!! Only 28 days 'til the big day!!!!
