Gratitude.

As I sip my coffee on this crisp Thanksgiving morning, I can't help but think of friends and family back home... waking up early to start preparing the feast, gathering with loved ones, watching football, sharing stories and laughs and SO much delicious food (I hope you have elastic waistbands on your pants!)... For the first time since we've moved here, I'm feeling a little homesick...

So in the spirit of the holiday, I thought I would share a short list of the things I'm thankful for today:

Didz
