I'm Thankful for Connor

So, this week has been really hard for me, because I had to spend my Thanksgiving away from my family when I knew they were all together.  And I was going to drive home after work on Saturday to hear Jenica's farewell talk, and then drive back on Monday.  But, a few hours before it was time to go, I decided that it was going to cost a lot of money and take a lot of time to just be home for a total of 1 day.  So, I decided I would stay and wait to see Jenica on Monday when she gets brought here for the MTC.  I feel like it was the right decision but it was still really hard for me to miss such an important event.  I came home from work really sad and expressed my sadness to Connor and shed a few tears, but then Connor was AMAZING.  We went and had a fun night together Christmas shopping where we spent most of the night laughing to the point I almost peed my pants.  Either because Connor drenched me in some fabric freshener spray, or him trying to block me from my path when I wanted to go and look at new shower curtains or Christmas decorations.  I realized that even though I was sad that I wasn't there with my family, that Connor IS my new family.  He is so wonderful and he makes everything better.  He really is my best friend and when I'm with him, things ARE better.  He is so patient and kind and so stinkin funny.  I am SO thankful to have Connor in my life, he is the best.
