Much to be Thankful For!

Like most of you, we traveled to see friends and family this past week to celebrate Thanksgiving. After 16 hours driving halfway across country we arrived in Jefferson TX where we were hosted by Valerie (Marty's sister/Jason's Aunt) and Sam Ayer, inn keepers at The Azalea Inn. (http://www.azaleainn.net/) It was so beautiful and so comfortable. We had such a great time. We also got to see loads of family. Actually, it was the first time I got to meet some of Jason's family, after 7 years. There were kids everywhere. Crazy thing was they were our kids not us. That was really surreal for me. It was all an awesome experience. Valerie and Sam were wonderful hosts to open their home and business to us. All the food was yummy. Everyone was so fun to hang out with. Ziva even had a good time...when she wasn't napping.
