Happy Thanksgiving, readers! It’s been a while since we posted, but lots has happened since 10.25.10. We’ve both been sick (he’s kinda over it, I’m still coughing), we’ve been to a hockey game, we’ve been to our last NGHS football game of the year (since they played AWFULLY against Grayson and got knocked out of the playoffs), we’ve performed in yet another 5th Row Dinner Theatre, we saw Harry Potter 7.1, and we’ve successfully made it to the Thanksgiving Holidays! Well…he has, at least; I have another 10 hours to go.
Paster Tony preached a really great message at Fusion yesterday, and it really made me think. He talked about how the purpose of Thanksgiving – Thanking God – has been lost. We took time out of the service to praise God in each of the four ways he instructs us to in the Bible: We sang, We prayed, We gave , and We used a card to write down our testimony of what Fusion’s done in us. I really took time to stop and think about what I’m thankful for this year. I’m very thankful for the turn my life has taken. I’m thankful to have a job. Of course, I’m thankful for my friends and family, including to the new family that’s come into my life as a packaged deal with my relationship with Andy.
We are so lucky to have the families that we do, and we cherish that fact. We’re blessed that they already know each other, get along, and *gasp* like each other! Each of us fits seamlessly into the other’s family, as if we were pieces of a puzzle that had been missing for the last 25 (and – almost – 28 years).
We’re looking forward to Thanksgiving Day with my mom’s side of the family, then Saturday with his mom’s family. Heidi’s birthday is also on Saturday, then we have Andy’s 28th birthday on December 2nd. As much as he hates to admit it, he’ll finally be in his early late 20s instead of his late mid 20s 
Let us know who’s out there reading! We love you guys!
