Sometime very late tonight, my Hubby is arriving home for the holiday! He’ll be here for a few days before heading back to training, so I’ll be unplugged mostly and spending all my time with him! We’ll be hanging out with his mom and grandmother too as they will be super excited to see him, and I’m looking forward to the time with them as well. I am so blessed with my in-laws! They aren’t in-laws, but just family…MY family.
I am so excited about our Thanksgiving meal too. We are going out to eat! That’s right, no cooking! No cleaning! We did this last year too and it turned out amazing. We will all go out to eat for an awesome spread at Maggiano’s, and then we’ll come back to our place to hang out and challenge each other on the Wii. I love to cook, Hubby and I love cooking together, and our whole family even enjoys cooking. So often on big holidays though, we end up spending all our time in the kitchen either cooking or cleaning instead of visiting. So this is a nice treat. I’m sure we’ll go back to cooking the Thanksgiving spread at some point, but this time we are just going to kick back and enjoy it without all the rushing around.
It almost seems wrong with all the yummy recipes floating around. I’ve drooled over several myself, but they will have to wait for another year. The last few months have been crazy, especially this last one. Hubby is coming home!!! That’s a whole other set of emotions. The stress….good and bad…has taken a toll on me physically. I’m just now starting to feel rested when I wake up in the mornings. Yea, I’m ready to just let someone else cook, then come home, hang out with my Hubby and try to beat him at something….anything….on the Wii! I knew I should have been practicing while he was gone!
