Day 12 ... Pecan Pie Anyone?

Dear Jennifer,

I noticed when flipping through all your diaries, you have no diary entries for Thanksgiving.  The truth is, that is the holiday I remember the least.  I don't know if that is because you left this universe the Monday after Thanksgiving (Hence, why mom, dad, and I celebrate Wednesday instead of Thursday.) It has been 18 years since we have had a Thanksgiving together. Get this, my daughter sticks the olives on all her fingers and eats them.  Typical you tradition.  Mom even stopped me last night and goes, "Who does that remind you of?"

Yesterday, my beautiful children and I decided on the endeavor of making a Pecan Pie.  I've never made a pecan pie before.  I walked by the store and saw all these pecan pies and for cheaper than what I was going to make it, but my lovely daughter pointed out this was a new thing for us to try. (New Thing!)

It smelled beautiful, it looked pretty.... it was...

runny on the inside! 

Still ate it.  Score!

It has been really interesting being off of Facebook.  I put pictures on Instagram so I can snag them really quick, but I don't scroll through.  I was talking to my accountability partner, and a friend of mine who seriously represents the 24 year old me.  My husband laughed when we were talking and I was "giving" advice. What advice would I give the 24 year old me?

Be happy. 
Worry Less (Still not doing that)
Weightloss  shouldn't rule your world
Be passionate about your work

I still struggle to follow a couple of those.  Weightloss (gained 1 pound after eating mom and dad's delicious food!) and Worry Less.  I am very passionate about my work and for the most part, I'm a pretty happy person!

Happy Thanksgiving too all...

Until tomorrow...
