My Favorite Time of Year!!!

It is that time of year again that I just love!

THANKSGIVING!!!!

The older I get, I believe the more I love it!

Thinking back throughout my life, 

I can honestly say that this has always been 

my favorite holiday!

Trying to understand why and pondering on this 

has brought several ideas to mind....

* 1 of the only times I see my Iowa family during the year

* it has been a consistent happening in my ever changing life

(really, I can count on both hands the # of times I haven't been in Iowa for Thanksgiving!)

*  it is a time of happiness, no stress, no drama... happiness

* I love my Iowa family for so many different reasons

to name a few...

no drama

unconditional love

even though we only see each other once a year,

feels like we see each other daily

laughter! like crying & peeing your pants laughter!!!

playing card games

I just love the Furnes!!!

We leave tomorrow and I can hardly stand it!

I'm so ready!!!!

We will miss a few aunts and uncles this year, 

but there will still be a huge clan of Furnes gathered 

on Thursday!

I LOVE THANKSGIVING!!!

I hope everyone (the 2 who read this blog)

has a fabulous, memory making Thanksgiving too!
