Somewhere Out There

Thanksgiving was great.

I cooked my first turkey...

and, I have to say in a proud cry,

 it was delicious!

Thank you to everyone who offered such great help:

You taught me the merits of brining,

and for that- I am forever grateful.

Plus, I had my brother & sister-in-law here,

and that made it even better.

As my hectic semester comes to an end,

I'm finally having time to breathe 

and think beyond a minute-to-minute basis.

The snooze button on my imagination is turned off,

and I'm starting to scheme & 

plot the next round of adventures ahead of us.

Like a week climbing up to the to of Scotland....

Spending a few weeks in Texas with family & friends...

Celebrating a special anniversary in the Big Apple....

Planning to spend a springtime in Paris....

And the possibility of seeing a lot more of this place.

Just when I start to think we're calming down, 

I realize-

we are just gearing up for more!

We are gluttons for punishment, I tell ya.

(Glorious, jet-lagged punishment!)

 I'm so thankful to have someone to enjoy it with,

our health that allows us to accomplish it all,

and you to share it with.

Because it really does make it all the more fun.
