five

That's the number of pounds of food I ate yesterday between 12:00 and 4:00 at my company's Thanksgiving Feast. And, as of yesterday, it's also number of years Ryan and I have been dating. There are many reasons why I love him, but the #1 reason why I loved him yesterday was because of this conversation...

Him: How was the Feast?
Me: Amazing.
Him: Did you win the Weigh-In?
Me: No, but I came in second; I gained five pounds.
Him, in a voice filled with admiration: I'm so proud of you.

[Massive amounts of food, followed by a game called "Pin the Tail on J.J." Good try Laura!]

Although Ryan & I couldn't be together on our anniversary, I felt so very thankful to spend the day eating food I love, with people I love.
