Our first Thanksgiving as husband and wife

John and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year.  We spent the afternoon at John's Uncle Rey and Auntie Lydia's house where we had a Thanksgiving lunch and met some extended family members from Northern California.  We had a nice time relaxing and chatting with the cousins.  Then we headed home to finish making our own Thanksgiving feast.  I had done a lot of cooking the night before, but we decided to go "all out" so there was more to do!  We made enough food for at least 6 people and loved every bite.  I set the table with pretty linens, silverware, and goblets we received as wedding gifts.  We love them!  While eating we had a discussion about the many things we have to be thankful for including our health, families, jobs, Nala, and each other.  Nala even got to try some of our feast.  It's her first Thanksgiving, and judging by how fast the food disappeared, I'd say it's probably her favorite holiday so far!!

Our first Thanksgiving being married was a total success!!

Welcome!

Since John and I are just beginning a new chapter in our lives, I thought this would be the perfect time to start a blog to document it.  Stay tuned for all of the fun!
