Thanks Full

Thanksgiving is This week?! But I was just wearing a T-shirt outside Last week! How can that be?!

I guess when your life centers around the age old question of “What’s due tomorrow?! Aaargh!” then it’s pretty easy for a holiday like Thanksgiving to sneak up on you. But as far as the sentiment behind it? I’m way ahead of you there…

This fall has been absolutely Gorgeous down here in North Carolina. I imagine the trees are actually just as pretty in Chicago, but there are so many More of them down here! My drive to school on the back roads is so stunning I have literally become a hazard to myself and others as I gape at the tongues of flaming reds and oranges and yellows licking out from between the evergreens. You can’t help but be thankful when surrounded by beauty like that.

Then there’s the little old miracle of life as embodied by my absolutely adorable new nephew, Ian Muir Galbreath. He was born on November 9th and weighed in at a whopping 10 lbs, 12 oz and 20 inches long! Reports are that the first thing he did after emerging was STRETCH! I’m just bursting all over with AuntLee excitement and pride. And very thankful that everything went okay with the birth.

And finally, I cannot say enough just how thankful I am to Dan for all of the support he has provided through these first few months of school, putting up with my crazy schedule, coddling me through nervous breakdowns and keeping the fridge stocked with food for me to take for my loooong days. He has been so thoughtful and funny and understanding and kind. Not to mention sexy. Thanks for everything, Baby.


Hope you all have just as much to be thanks full about as I do. Happy Thanksgiving!
