This Thanksgiving I found myself being thankful for simple things. Basic/reliable transportation, safe travel, quiet doggies, meaningful conversations with family and friends, mine and Scott's jobs, my grandparents, financial stability...We met in Chattanooga via separate cars- me in my new (to me at least) car (with the puppies in tow). We enjoyed a wonderful, low key Thanksgiving with my family (minus Megan, the little twerp) and my mom's parents. We found out the Monday before Thanksgiving that Scott's last remaining grandparent, Maw Maw (age 92) had passed away. So Black Friday held a different meaning for us this year- it was a day of mourning and celebrating the life of his grandmother. Maw Maw was the first member of Scott's family that I met. Since she lived in Tuscumbia, AL, she was the closest relative to Scott when we lived in Nashville. His family has always been so warm and inviting towards me. Anyway, we traveled to and from Tuscumbia on Friday for the funeral and got to spend a lot of time with Scott's family. Below are some images from our Thanksgiving.
Also, my sister-in-law posted some pictures of our Friday with Scott's extended family here. There are some fun photos of Scott's brother getting "fresh" with Helen Keller at her birthplace. So goofy.
My beautiful pecan pie that I made. Check out the leaf cut outs on the edges. I was so proud. :)Maddie with Rumi (Megan's dog)
my new car...a black 2007 RAV4. Yeah!
Our lovely table setting...

So sorry to hear about Scott's grandmother. I wish we could have gotten together while you were in Tuscumbia - we were so close!
Love the new car! My dad just bought the same car in silver.
Sorry to hear about his grandma...glad you were able to see his side of the family though!
Maddie looks so grown up -- how can that be since she is only 9? :)
Tell Scott I'm sorry about Maw-Maw! Love your ride, girl! Miss you bunches as the program approaches next weekend. LOOOOONG rehearsals coming up next week. Oh, and your photographs of t-giving were SPECTACULAR! I love your eye! In heaven, I will be able to have an eye for pics like you!
