Thankfulness: 21

As I sit here with the sounds and smell of rain coming in through the screen door, I can't help but be incredibly thankful for the change in weather. Not only is rain special whenever, but living in the desert, where we see rain very rarely, it's extra special.

The cool day, plus the evening rain, has really made it feel like we're entering the holiday season. I drove home with the heat on, playing Christmas music (I blame Ed entirely - he found the station last week and programmed it into both cars. That boy loves Christmas music!), and felt so happy.

I love this time of year!
