I'm Thankful

Thanksgiving...how did you come so fast? This year we have so many things to be thankful for

I'm thankful for...

...my husband. You are my rock, my best friend and the best father of my children I could ask for. I can't imagine my days without you. Thank you for all your wonderful support and love.

....Carson. Your loving, kind hearted spirit brightens my days. I'm thankful for your cuddles, your love and your need to follow the rules.

....Declan. You make me laugh. I'm thankful for your happy-go-lucky spirit, your story-telling and your 10lbs of attitude. You bring a light to this family that I love.

...Bennett. Your the most laid back baby yet. I love your smiles, your kisses and your hair twirling.

....my parents. You have provided me with so much. From valuable lessons about love, family and marriage to clothes for the kids and their education. I'm so very grateful to have such loving and wonderful parents. Thank You.

...to my inlaws. For raising a man who knows how to love, support and cherish his wife and family. Thank you for all your support, for the gas, for the kids clothes and the Target trips.

...that I can be a stay-at-home mom. I'm grateful everyday that I get to be here with my kids, in the middle of this parenting thing, enjoying their milestones, teaching them new things and loving them along the way.

...my friends. My girlfriends are another rock. They've provided me with love, laughter, tears, advice and even a smack upside the head if its needed. Parenting is a tough job and I'm grateful to have a group of women who can help me through it and enjoy it with me.

...my house. It's warm, it's cozy and I'm so grateful that I have a roof over my head every night.

...our soliders. Thank you for your sacrifices. I'm so grateful for all you do in protecting our freedoms. May God Bless you always.

...my children's generous hearts. They are always willing and wanting to put more of their allowance in the church jar then in their toy jar. We just started donating food to the food pantry twice a month and they are eager to help out those who are less fortunate. They don't miss a beat.

...our mailman. He's so cheerful, loves Emily and is always friendly with the kids.

...our pets. They make me laugh, they make me want to throw them off the deck but they also make our family complete.

...the boys' teachers. Their patience, their kindness, their love and their wisdom is over the top.

...Trevor's new job. He works 5 minutes from home, can come home for lunch and is home early every night.

...Dave Ramsey. He's changed my life, my money and my marriage.

...for a 4 day weekend. For time with family and friends. For Black Friday.

From our family to yours,
Happy Thanksgiving!
