Yep, a SECOND blog post from me today. I’m impressed, too.*

feeling especially grateful today for:

• Incredibly smooth travel last week. I was sure Wiklers were cursed when it came to travel. But somehow, we drove to Sacramento (over the recently blizzarded** Sierra Nevadas) twice, got on six flights, made four connections AND received our bags at baggage claim twice.  Over Thanksgiving weekend. If that’s not a holiday miracle, I don’t know what is.
• Hugh, the incredible man my mommy just married on Saturday (and my new step-dad? Ok, that’s a little weird.) I know he will care for her for the rest of their lives, and I’m so grateful my parents have each found happiness in their new partners.
• Every single amazeballs person that’s participating in #reverb10. It is seriously inspiring to read [ok, no I can't read all 1,100 peoples' blog posts, but the ones I have read are incredible]. I know, without a doubt, I’m becoming a better writer, a better person for participating in this. Not only for the writing I am doing, but for what I’m being exposed to. I mean, just wow, you guys. Just follow the thread.
• The tingly feeling I get when I remember I’m gonna be his wife in just under two years. #mushy
• A new fridge on Friday!
• Hanging things up on walls, and how it makes our house feel even more like a home.
• Playing cards with sibs and giggling at things that make no sense at all.
• Trying my cousins delicious vegan Thanksgiving food (SERIOUSLY, the vegan pumpkin-chocolate bread pudding? SHUT UP.)

*Yep, it’s definitely been six hours since I first started this draft, but since I was traveling all Wednesday last week, and never really had a break to blog on Thanksgiving, I NEED to be publicly grateful right now!

**That’s right, blizzarded.
