driving in chicago blows...but, i am thankful

I am thankful for making it to Chicago in one piece. We made it all the way here with little to no problem, and it wasn't until the last 30 minutes of our trip that we saw our first wreck of the day. We had several close calls, we learned that our GPS is directionally challenged, but we made it. Alive. That's all I could have asked for.

I'm meeting part of Luke's family for the first time this week. We've been married over two years, and I had yet to meet his aunts, uncles and cousins. There are 21 of us here for Thanksgiving this year, three of which are children 4 and under.

I am sitting in the hotel right now and updating from my phone, so I will have to update with more at a later time. Until then, I just want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. Blessings to all of you and your families.
