It is Thanksgiving, and I am thankful. Specifically, I am thankful for Matt and all he does.
No, I'm not going to go into a mushy diatribe of how awesome he is. (And really, he is.) But I'll give you one good example that he did today.
During the rush of cleaning and cooking for our Thanksgiving feast (we're hosting an "orphans" feast), somehow lunch was skipped. Sure, we had breakfast and snacks, so we weren't starving, but with all the food prep and picking up there wasn't time for a lunch. Matt got showered and ready for company before me, and offered to pick up something quick, like McD's.
Sure, that was nice, but not THE nice thing Matt did. McD's was closed, so instead he went to my favorite sushi place (Sushi of Plano - can't recommend highly enough!) and picked me up a salmon bento box!
Please note, he does not like sushi and didn't get anything for himself. He also called to ask if I wanted to add any additional sushi rolls or seaweed salad. (Yes, thank you.)
Ain't that about the sweetest thing you've ever heard? So I quickly nommed up some tasty sushi, seaweed salad, teriyaki salmon, miso soup, and tempora veggies all while our Thanksgiving feast is cooking.
Sure, this might have been a preservation move on his part so that hungry-grumpy Nanc doesn't show her ugly face. But nevermind that, he's awesome and I love him.
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. I wish you all many things, big and small, to be thankful for (and the insight to recognize them).

It must run in the family because David has done similiar things for me. Those Collins boys, they are a real treasure.
Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
