Someone pulled out a calendar in a meeting yesterday and started discussing timelines.
At that moment, I realized that Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK.
Right after the meeting, I called Steve to warn him (I usually start giving him a heads up about things way in advance).
I am still in complete shock.
I haven't even started thinking about packing for our trip or making my designated dishes for the company pot luck lunch.
I honestly feel like it is November 1st
or 2nd.
Where has this month gone?
You would think with the Thanksgiving themed blog, I'd be aware that the holiday was approaching, but No.
I blinked my eyes and the month is half over.
For heaven sakes, it is already time to put the Christmas card list together.
I feel totally unprepared.
Ok, not that I would have done something by now, but mentally I should be more ready.
On the other hand, I am so excited for Thanksgiving I can hardly stand it. It has always been my favorite holiday. This year will be even better. We are going to Virginia to see Steve's relatives, including The Boss, Elizabeth, and The Princess. We haven't seen them in over 2 years. Between seeing how much the kids have grown and latest additions, I know it will be amazing.
It also seems likely that we'll get to meet Shokufeh, who has a blog that I have been reading for a year and a half. I have never met someone from the blog world before. You really can develop a relationship through reading posts and seeing pictures. She is such a great person and I can't wait to meet her.
The realization that this trip (that I have been waiting for) is actually approaching must be finally sinking in, because I feel the excitement building as I type. Must go, I have lists to make...
