I'm back for my traditional (though inconsistent) Thanksgiving blog post. This year, we are excited about our second Thanksgiving married and our FIRST EVER holiday season spent at home, together, not during covid. :) When I came home from the ice show last year I knew I wanted to spend a full year at home before committing to another show contract. While I would definitely do one again, I will say I feel so grounded and good about stepping back for now. I feel like the whole world has opened up and I have so many new things I want to chase!
We are spending this Thanksgiving with my in-laws in New Jersey! I'm so excited about this cozy few days. This year, I'm particularly grateful for:
- A cozy holiday season at home.
- All the amazing travel we've managed to do this year! Including trips out of the country (a first for me) not once but twice!
- So many weddings and fun friend events we got to take part in over the past year.
- Some really incredible skating students, a work life that has really shaped into something I like, and lots of team coaching opportunities this season!
- Living in a great town that is a perfect fit for us.
- Going back to school (again).
- Having a really good reading year.
- Watching all my baby cousins grow up and start really creating their lives this year.
- Weekly phone calls with a friend.
- Teaching myself to sew again!
- Morning dog walks together.
- Having such a fun first year married.
- Feeling myself settle into my adult self, my adult body, my adult vibe.
- Knowing that there is so much to look forward to!
Wishing a great start to the holiday season to your whole family.
xoxo Gillian
