The first week of December started out strong with some much-needed rain, quality time with girlfriends while G was on a business trip and prepping our place for the holidays. Sure, we ate a ton of leftovers (I may not be able to eat another slice of turkey until next Thanksgiving), but it was also a lovely reminder of how much my husband and I have to be thankful for in 2014. Have a great weekend.
