The most wonderful time of the year

It's November, and the tights have officially come out. Although I don't get to enjoy the excitement of first snows that many of my friends residing on the east coast do, it's hard to complain with 65 degree afternoons. The plants are still green and the sun is out despite the morning chill. I believe I'm a west coast girl.

What I want to look like right now.

Thanksgiving is fast approaching, yet it can't get here soon enough. Not only are many members of my extended family making the trek to AZ, but friends I haven't seen in months will be returning. There will be lots of hugging and talking and baking and eating and crafting in Kaylie's room.

This time of year also seems to bring Domenico and I closer together. Not only is it when we began dating (we will be celebrating our 5th anniversary in exactly a month), but it is also perfect cuddling weather.

Oh my. So long ago. Domenico and Erin circa March 2008.

Love is even in the air on Glee tonight. Watch it. Be thankful and merry.
