Happy Thanksgiving

Once again, I'm overwhelmed with thankfulness for all the blessings I've been given. My life is certainly not perfect, but I am so fortunate.

We spent Thanksgiving this year at my Aunt's house. It's the first Thanksgiving (and first holiday) since my cousin passed away. We thought it might help ease the hurt and emptiness if we filled my aunt's house up! It was a really nice day. Molly Grace had a really good time playing with her cousins, Hadley and Chad. She got to feed a hee-haw, which I'm pretty sure was the highlight of her day! That and going up and down the stairs with Chad! She was such a good girl. Everytime I looked at her, I was so thankful for her in my life. I can't imagine the heartache my aunt feels...I hope I never know. The house was definitely missing Wende's strong personality and loud laughter, but she was there in spirit, for sure!

Jamey went home to hunt and eat with his family. I'm so thankful that we are both close to our families. We are so blessed to have such close ties and great support on both sides. We definitely missed him and MG was so proud when we walked in the door! She ran to him with open arms - at that moment I was overwhelmed with thanksgiving! I am so thankful for my husband who loves me for better or worse - he took that vow seriously and I am grateful! I am so thankful that he is a loving, protective, playful, involved daddy to our daughter. I am so thankful that I have a healthy, vibrant, strong, smart daughter. I'm thankful for the memories we've created and the moments that have taken my breath away. I'm thankful for the laughter and love that fills my home. We are truly blessed.

I am thankful that I have a job that I love and that I get to go to that job everyday without worrying about my little girl because she is being loved on by her grandparents every day!

I'm thankful, most of all, for my Lord and Savior. I'm thankful that He thought I was worthy of dying on the cross to save. I'm thankful that He loves me when I'm not loveable and forgives me for the unforgiveable.

I'm truly blessed...
