house full

turkey day was not on the 4th thursday of november
it was the last sunday of the month
my mother
her mother
my wife
her co-workers
and our dog
it was the first holiday of our newly married life
i cleaned
i prepped
i cooked
i was the consummate hostess
i wanted to make this day one that would set the tone for what is to come
we made this holiday our own
it felt right
it felt good

said "I married the right one!"
said "I never knew that you were so domestic."
said "You did it!"

it made me feel good, great...
but i knew that i could
glad i could show them this is what i love to do and glad that they enjoyed themselves

happy thanksgiving to us
