Giving Thanks

I wasn't going to celebrate Thanksgiving this year. I am in another country and Miles has to work night shift, so that pretty much leaves Lea and I alone to hash things out. This morning at my 33 week appointment, the nurse was talking about everything that she's cooking and all of the people she is having over and as she left the room, I started thinking that a) I WANT to bake my butt off and make a huge, beautiful meal and b) I actually have my husband here with me, a healthy toddler at home, and a (hopefully) healthy baby on the way. That is WAY more than a lot of people have and I have so much to be thankful for. The young men I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for last year are in Iraq right now, which is where Miles would be had he not had the opportunity to be stationed here. An entire year with a significant other is enough for any military spouse to be thankful for and I get more than that, even. So I am cooking a huge dinner and bringing it to Miles' work because of all the people in the world, I have more than the average amount of blessings and what a brat would I be if I sat at home moping?

I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving. I am going to make mine a happy one.
