What I'm most Thankful for

It's been a fun and hectic week! Shayne and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving together. It was really nice starting our own tradition. It makes me feel like we'll be starting many more traditions together in the years to come.

Shayne had cooked a tremendous amount of food! One of his specialities is desserts. He made extra desserts and we took them around to some of our friends Friday night. It was nice to spend time with our friends.

We spent the rest of our weekend buying Christmas trees and decorating the house. Normally I let Shayne decorate the inside pretty much on his own, but this year I decided to pull my weight, and do what I could to help him out. Now our house is bright and Christmas-y just like we love it. All that's missing is the wassail and sugar cookies, but Shayne assures me that it won't be long before we have that too!

I've been thinking about what I am most thankful for. I've got a good job, great friends, nice home, worthless dogs and Shayne. He is the light in my life. I'm most fortunate to have such a kind, loving, smart, funny, sweet, beautiful and sexy man to spend my life with. I can live with losing everything else, but I couldn't survive one moment without Shayne's love and the emotional support he gives me. I think that sometimes we take our partners for granted. One thing I've learned this year is to not do that. Every moment we have together is precious and should be cherished. He is what I am most Thankful for in my life.

What are you most thankful for in your life?

I love my Dorothy

I never thought I would be ready to go back to work in my life. Shayne and I have had the flu and it's made us both miserable. Lucky for me, I'm a hundred percent better and able to go back to work tomorrow. As much as I hate work, being sick is much worse.

So much has happened since my last and only blog. My parents moved to Florida, which has been a good thing. Shayne and I have been doing great. We've been busy getting ready for Halloween. Shayne and I went to a costume party and as usual Shayne was the belle of the ball. His costume was the favorite by far; as much as he hates to admit it. (If I told you what we went as he would kill me) We had a great time, but soon afterwards both of us became sick with the flu. That meant we weren't able to have trick or treaters this year and we both hated that. I love looking at the costumes and giving candy out the kids, don't you?

Shayne is still feeling poorly, but he'll be well before we know it. We've talked about Thanksgiving and decided we're staying home and creating our own tradition this year. I'm excited about that.

I know some of you are probably wondering why I posted the picture I did. I'll have to keep that a secret, but I know you might figure it out just by reading this post.

You know I love my Dorothy more than anything in the world and I always will.
