I hope everyone had a memorable day of feasting, family and friends. Ryan and I spent the holiday in Houston, eating with my grandparents, aunt, uncle and cousins. We left with our stomachs and our cooler full of holiday treats--sweet potato and apple casserole, traditional southern dressing, turkey, gravy, corn casserole and, of course, desserts. Pecan pie, apple pie and my Grammi's famous homemade brownies.
Today, I'm already back at work. But it feels good to know that in a few more weeks, I'll be celebrating again. This time, I'll be with my parents and my sisters, Ryan's precious family, and all of our friends in Colorado.
We'll be driving...14 hours in the car...which I'm writing about in hopes that it will help me mentally prepare for the journey. I do not like long road trips.
Alas, Cricket (yes, we're bringing out cat) Ryan and I will drive through what seems like endless Texas until we reach those mountains that tell us, "home."
