Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving has come and gone and I wanted to write down a few things that I have been so thankful for this year:

• My family- husband, kids who always love me for who I am and support me in all I do, for my kids who run to me and say "MOMMY" as I walk through the door
• My friends- couldn't live without them, they are always willing to lend an ear for listening and a shoulder to cry on when I most need it
• My job- even though I would love to be at home more I am thankful for my job that I have been at for almost 11 years!
• Church- I love all the wonderful people at my church and I am so thankful for having them in my life, they have all made me a stronger person
• Struggles/challenges- I know this may sound wierd but I feel that this year I am so thankful for all the struggles and challenges we have had to face this year, it has made us stronger and we can all learn from the different paths that we walk down in life
• My family's health- even though I live with a heart condition I am so thankful that I am still a healthy person and that my family is healthy too
• Love- from my family and loving on others, this is really priceless
• Long talks with my hubby
• When Taelor and Ethan say "I love you mommy", so thankful that I can hear those words come out of thier mouths
• God and Faith- my most important thing I am thankful for!!! If it wasn't for faith I really do not know how we could have gotten past many challenges this year! He really can move mountains and I am so thankful for Him!

There are so many more things I am thankful for but I would go on for days, these are just a few that came to mind first.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, we did. It was one of our best, kids are at the age where they can both feed themselves and can actually sit throuh a dinner without too much of a fuss. We had only one place to go on the day of (my parents did it on Sunday), so that was a treat in itself. Taelor and I watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and she loved it. I am so happy to start the rest of the holiday season and for Christmas to be here and for my baby's girls birthday on New Year's Eve!
