gathering

Thanksgiving is almost here, which means our homes will soon be filled with the scents of favorite holiday recipes, wafting from the stovetop or oven. For many of us, hosting a holiday meal marks a milestone in "adulting." I remember when Kelsey and I hosted my family for Easter in our cozy 800-square-foot apartment in Indiana. We all huddled in the kitchen cooking, sharing laughs, and later gathered around our small table, spilling into the living room to enjoy our meal together.
