Thanksgiving is a time for togetherness.  A day to spend time with family and give thanks for all that we have.  As I stated in a previous post, I have not been home in 6yrs.  I miss the holidays with my family, my mom, my grandma, cousins, aunts and uncles.  But I do have a growing family here in Florida that I am excited to start some traditions with and enjoy this Thanksgiving holiday.  I will be making some traditional foods tomorrow and watching my favorite holiday movie, Christmas Story.  I love that movie! 
 

I am thankful this year for my 3 beautiful children, I have always wanted to be a mom.  I am thankful for my wonderful boyfriend whom I love more than anything.  I appreciate all that he does for our family.  I am thankful for the 59 pounds I have lost and that I am living a healthier life.  I am thankful for my family…..I just wish I could have spent this holiday with them. 

I can’t wait for tomorrow, to make all the yummy food.  I am making turkey, green bean casserole, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and biscuits.  I made Tony a Pecan Pie and I will make myself an Apple Pie.  Tony has to work tomorrow until about 4pm.  Then he will come home and we will just spend some family time together.  I am not going to count calories tomorrow and I am taking the day off from exercising.  I am just going to enjoy the day with my family. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful day and remember, give thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!
