I am thankful for

gipsieee. For her support of my hobbies, and my geekiness, and my wackiness. It makes me incredibly happy to know that she's looking forward to our next camping adventure, and that we have Bromptons, and that we're seriously looking at making or buying a tiny house in the soon-enough-that-I-can-keep-being-excited-about-it-rather-than-tell-myself-no-you-have-to-wait-it's-too-far-away-to-really-think-about-yet timeframe ^_^ I'm also thankful that she's been encouraging and helping me learn how to cook since we started dating; I think dinner yesterday has been our biggest triumph so far. We're going to be eating well for quite some time!

I'm thankful for my job and my coworkers. Last year was not so great as I spent most of it working on things that I'd really rather not have been working on (realistically, the tasks themselves were fine; it's the codebase that I really wish I hadn't had to deal or interface with). This year is shaping up to be a lot more fun and more interesting and less wondering "what am I going to break with this?" and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm also really glad that they're putting me through a Master's degree; I'm loving the classes that I've been taking so far, and I think they've helped me develop as a, um, developer. So that's good. ^_^

I'm thankful for my family, both sides, who called me up to wish me a happy birthday even though Thanksgiving was the next day, and who did so much towards helping our wedding be the wonderful occasion that it was.

Blar, we fail at prompt replies! I'd need to double-check with

gipsieee, but I believe that between school and the fact that I'm giving her something similar to a Schacht Cricket for Christmas (except 24" wide and I made everything but the heddle myself ^_^), and we're going to be trying to incorporate most of her stuff from Winchester into the house in Baltimore next week, I just don't think that it would make sense for us to borrow it from you now. Which sucks, because under other circumstances the opportunity to work with a full-sized loom like that would be freaking AWESOME! But yeah, I don't know that we'll have an appropriate space for it, and I'm reasonably certain that neither of us will have an appropriate amount of time for it such that we'd be able to finish anything in 6 months (which seems ridiculous on one hand, but at the same time, we are apparently actually very busy recluses ~wry grin~). Thank you very much for the offer, and if it should happen to come up again under different circumstances, we might very well take you up on it.

In the meantime, happy holidays and good luck with everything!
