Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone and it was such a success!! This was the first Thanksgiving I ever ate more than one turkey dinner, a tough feat I must say! The day started by running in the first ever Gilbert Turkey Trot! Originally a few of my family members were signed up for the Mesa Trot, but then, a couple days before we heard about doing a turkey trot in Gilbert and figured it would be a lot less hassle. The Gilbert trot will now be an annual event so anyone that wants to avoid the big crowds and tough parking in Mesa, come try it in Gilbert!
After the Turkey Trot, Blaze and I enjoyed a delicious turkey dinner with my family first and then his family. For me, two turkey dinners was practically impossible. By round two my plate had about three things on it. For Blaze however, this was nothing new since in Hawaii he was fed about four or five thanksgiving dinners! I cannot even imagine trying to eat that much. Props to Blaze!
Overall Thanksgiving was a great day to recognize my blessings. I have had a wonderful summer/fall being at home with my family, having an entertaining/fun job, and having the sweetest fiance come over everyday. This year, through the Lord, I have seen my life guided and shaped for the better; it is certainly a year to be grateful for.
