Thankfulness

This time of year always makes me a bit nostalgic. November is the month Justin and I got married in, December has many memories of time with family and big decisions, an January has always been a time for new beginnings. The week of Thanksgiving, Justin and I got the privilege of spending time away together in Nashville and then got to share the place we spent our first anniversary with my family for Thanksgiving.

Although Thanksgiving has already passed, I just thought, after getting a chance to go through pictures, that I would like to share some things I am thankful for. It has been an interesting year for Justin and I. Exactly a year ago, we boarded a plane to fly back "home" after living in China for two years. It feels like an eternity ago while also feeling like not so long ago. I guess time is weird like that.

In the last year, we have been so blessed. I have been doing two jobs, nannying and working at a dance studio. It has been so great to be able to spend time doing something that feels like such a part of me like dance. Also, we have been blessed to live in my parents house. Despite its challenges, we have been able to help around the house with some tasks and have a roof over our head. On top of all that, we were so grateful to spend time away for our anniversary and then to spend Thanksgiving in the peace and tranquility of the mountains. Here are some photos of North Carolina and our cabin (which was just lovely)!
