Autumn fades into winter as darkness starts to claim the day sooner than it should casting everything with a soft glow until the sun gives up, sinking into the horizon.  Christmas lights sparkle; chilly air slips through the cracks between the window panes begetting a need for the frequent drinking of warm tea.  While snuggling beneath the warm cozy sheets atop my bed, my laptop slowly warming my legs and hands, debating purchasing a space heater, I started thinking about where all the time has gone.  How did end of the year get here so quickly?  And how is it possible that it’s almost Thanksgiving?!  I’m actually very excited for Thanksgiving.  A homemade meal shared with friends and family, warm apple cider, spiced pumpkin pies with fresh whip cream, mmm yum!  Then I got to thinking about what I’m actually thankful for.

It’s really been an amazing year for me both personally and professionally.  I’m in a fantastic relationship, I have met some amazing people this year and have continued support and love from old friends and family.  My business has allowed me to meet so many wonderful couples and come into their lives at the most amazing time.  I couldn’t be more in love with the joy I bring to people in doing what it is that I do.  Although I’m VERY behind on my travel writing/blogging, I did more traveling than ever before.  This year alone I was in 5 countries, and over 30 amazing cities. I’ve even ignited my passion for writing as I have started writing a novel in the National Novel Writing Month competition this month!  And all of which, I am very thankful.
