Thankful for Lasts

We returned today from spending two nights in Maine visiting my family for Thanksgiving.  Everything went well, and it was good to see my family.  But what took up the most space in my mind the entire time was the fact that this was our last Thanksgiving before Moon arrives.  And this will be our last Christmas.  In other words, I’m currently obsessed with Lasts.

I am so utterly thankful that this holiday season is our last without children.  It all feels so right that we are starting our family now - I know we are both more than ready individually, and it also feels right at this point in our relationship.  It is just unbelievable to think that we will have an 11-month old next Christmas.  We both get so excited and giddy thinking about it!

For all the ways my family drove me nuts this weekend (in all the usual ways), I am so thankful that E. and I are about to start our own.
