Thanksgiving

Tomorrow we're hosting a Thanksgiving of sorts. We have 9 families coming! This includes family and friends with children... Lot and lots of children! And it's raining outside as I type but never mind.

So consumed have I been with this endeavour that I found myself driving on the wrong side of the street the other day! Lived here nearly nine months now and that's the first time that has happened. Yikes. Must have had a lot on my mind. Scary how normal it felt to be driving up the right side of the road... That is until a car came around the corner straight at me! Her arms flailing sign language we all understand.

I digress. Thanksgiving.

There is so much to be thankful for. The mere fact that we have 18 adults and 12 children coming to our first ever Thanksgiving in New Zealand is cause for celebration! And there's Lloyd... I might be biased but will still proudly call him the happiest boy in my corner of the world. You all know how I feel about my husband. Skype! Let's not forget that. This house; so glad I talked Greg into it!

None of this would matter for a second if I didn't know there was a God up above in control of absolutely everything and caring about it all. Every single seemingly inconsequential bit. Ahhh... to be so loved. I am indeed thankful for this above all else.
