Our Thanksgiving Beach Trip

The baby bump at week 28 in Myrtle Beach

Every year for Thanksgiving, my husband and his family, have this tradition of spending the holiday at their condo in Myrtle Beach, SC. Since we have been married, I have enjoyed partaking in this tradition with them. Even though, it is not warm enough to layout in your swimsuit it is still nice enough for a round of golf, walking on the beach, shopping at the outlets, and enjoying the 70 degree weather. This year, since I cannot play golf, I decided to just enjoy the beach weather,shop, and relax for a few days.

For Thanksgiving day, we did nothing but relax and enjoy the beautiful weather while laying out by the pool (in our shorts of course :).

Just another beautiful Thanksgiving Day!

In the late afternoon, we all departed for our Thanksgiving dinner destination, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.

For the rest of the weekend, we just enjoyed spending time with one another, shopping the sales, and eating  at all of our favorite restaurants. On the last night, we went to one of our favorites, Rossi's which is an excellent Italian restaurant.

As you can see, I have many things to be Thankful for this year!

What I Am Thankful For

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays not just because I am a history teacher and enjoy the first Thanksgiving story but I love that for one day everyone thinks about what they are truly thankful for. For me, I am Thankful for many things. 

Here are the top 15 things I am Thankful for: 

~Will , who is not just a wonderful husband but a best friend a girl could have. He is always supportive, a good listener, patient, kind, a great confidant and my # 1 fan. I am so thankful that he came into my life 9 years ago. 

~Lilly , who will always be my first little girl. She brings me so much entertainment and unconditional love at all times.

~Our soon to be little girl,  Harper. Will and  I prayed so many times over the last year to be blessed with a child and now are just thankful that we get the chance to be wonderful parents.

~My wonderful parents, Angie & Dave. I am thankful for being a daughter of two loving, supportive parents.

~ My two brothers, Brandon and Bryan. They are the best brothers any girl could ask for.

~My husband's family.  Being blessed with the best in-laws is a gift any girl is lucky to have. I love that they love me as like their own sibling and provide me unconditional support.

~ Our beautiful home. 

~Having an easy pregnancy, so far. 

Week 20

~Being able to go to college then graduate school and being happy with the career I chose.

~ Being an American: (enough said)

~Golf. If I could, I would play golf everyday of the week. Not because I'm good, believe me I need some improvement but being out on a beautiful golf course any day of the week is so relaxing and enjoyable.

~Mexican Food. No matter day or night I am obsessed with Tacos and the # 4 option at our local restaurants which includes 2 tacos, 1 enchilada, and a chili con queso.

~Sense of Humor. If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane. And believe me, being a teacher, you must have a good sense of humor.
