A Happy Thanksgiving

I have so much to be thankful for. Mostly though, this Thanksgiving, I am thankful to be here with Jeff. Don't get me wrong, I miss seeing both of our families on the holiday, but our little family is together today. Although that may seem the norm for couples, for Jeff and I, it is not.

In the past nine years, since I learned of the existence of the wonderful Jeffrey G, we have spent one Thanksgiving together. While at first, we were in the awkward, we are dating but not yet spending holidays with each others families, we have even spent our married Thanksgivings apart for one reason or another. Out of town basketball tournaments, or living half-way across the country from each other to name a few. So this year, I am thankful for nothing more than being in Jeff's presence.

We are also lucky enough to have such kind and welcoming friends here in our family-absent city of Cleveland. We were invited to a delicious Thanksgiving feast with good friends. I'd say that isn't too bad.

The only negative, Jeff and his vegetarianism didn't have any turkey. That means lots of stuffing and broccoli. With the powers of broccoli, I have a feeling I will be dutch-ovened tonight.

Happy Thanksgiving!
