9/30

i'm thankful my parents came into town for a brief visit yesterday. i'm thankful that they got into indianapolis about the same time as d coming back from her business trip, so they were able to carpool back together. i'm thankful that though my mom hadn't been to blooming in 8 years (when she first came with me and helped me get moved in to my first apartment), she remembered the geography of the town perfectly (i'm thankful i get my navigational sense from her, since i definitely didn't get it from my dad). i'm thankful that miso liked my parents a lot and that they were happy to spend time with her. i'm thankful that we went to the great korean restaurant on the other side of town so they could have good korean barbecue for the first time. i'm thankful that though we ordered too much, we kept eating because it was so tasty. i'm thankful for the waitress who artfully swapped out our grill plates just when we needed it. i'm thankful that when we got home with my parents we watched some TV and then they went back to the hotel for the night, which was nice since d was exhausted from traveling. i'm thankful that d is still sleeping, as they probably are too, and that we'll get to spend more time together later.
