My parents/family couldn't be there that night, so Ben gladly came

with me & supported/celebrated with me the whole way. He is truly

my number one fan. I love, love, love this man! 

Seriously so happy to be marrying him!

Anyway, much to be thankful for with all these memories!

Here in the States, we celebrate Thanksgiving. Nothing too special or traditional like the good ole' days when we were little and had to dress up to go to Great Grandma Marie's house--now, it's just a nice dinner while spending time with loved ones. And I still cherish it. My father recalled his best memories to be those spent eating food with family and friends. Whether you are in the U.S. or not, I hope you are enjoying your day and time with loved ones.

P.S.

 I am so grateful for so many things, I know take SO much for granted. Sometimes I have those outer-body experiences where I just look at my family, my fiance, some friends, etc. and I just think of how beyond blessed I am. Even when life hardly seems fair, there's something wonderful in my lap that I can't see I already have.
