One Spoiled Girl

I had so much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. It just so happened that our five year wedding anniversary fell on Thanksgiving day this year. It was such a blessing for it to fall on a holiday because it distracted us from the fact that we were away from family. And let me just tell you I am one spoiled girl! The day before our anniversary I came home to a big surprise. There was a note on the door telling me to follow the footsteps to find the reason why Jeremy loved me so much. Our house was filled with little printouts of feet in different colors that each led me to different places in the house. At the end of each path there was a reason why Jeremy loved me and a gift to go along with it. For example, one stop was "I love you because you find the beauty in life" and the gifts were a tripod for my camera and the Photoshop Lightroom 5 program.  Yes I know, he's amazing! How did I get so lucky to marry him?

Thanksgiving/ Anniversary morning we relaxed and watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Ever since I was little I've loved watching the parade, and I think Jeremy got a little in to it this year too.

We also decided that since it was just the two of us and neither one of us wanted to spend a lot of time cooking and then cleaning up on our anniversary, that we would go out to eat for the first time on Thanksgiving! We went to the Cracker Barrel who was serving an amazing Thanksgiving meal and let me tell you it was one of the best meals I've ever had. If we ever do it again though we will make sure to call in advance so we can have reservations. There were so many people there we had to wait about an hour to get seated. We had fun though and just played an intense round of Scrabble on our phones to help the time pass (I won!). :)

It's hard to tell but the entire shop was filled with people waiting to be seated! I never knew so many people ate out for Thanksgiving!

After dinner we went and watched Catching Fire at the theater. LOVE that movie! All in all we had a wonderful Thanksgiving/ Anniversary and I couldn't think of anyone I'd have rather spent the day with. I'm so grateful for Jeremy! I love him more than words can express! We've had so many adventures together over the last five years and I'm so excited for all the many adventures to come.

We hope all of our friends and family had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well!
