My friends, we had a lovely time Halloweening. I took my boy trick-or-treating for the first time and we had a blast. It turns out that he's a darn good trick-or-treater and may have never come home if people didn't start turning out their front porch lights.
But I am happy to be moving past the season of tricks and treats and onto the season of thankfulness. I love the simplicity of Thanksgiving. It's a holiday to rest, eat, be thankful, and be with the ones you love. There are no gifts, no crazy decorations, just good food and family. So let's begin being thankful and counting our blessings.
I think I'll begin with this bar, which is where it all began for me.
It just looks like a plain old bar. But if I hadn't been at Gecko in Virginia Highlands on one October night in 2001, I wouldn't have met this guy.
Total strangers we were, and now here we are. Ten years, two children, and many moments for which I am thankful. I'm so glad you ended up with us, Andy.
