Thanksgiving...

I am seeing a lot of posts and blog posts about Thanksgiving and what we are thankful for.. I want to do the same thing but I am going to do this in one post... so... here I go.

First and foremost.. I am SO thankful for my God. He has brought me through so many storms and has blessed me with so much - I am thankful for all that He has given me and all that He has taught me and continues to teach me.. He is always listening and there for me. Thank you God.. for my life and everything that is in it!

I am SO thankful for my husband... you know what.. he really is the best - I am thankful to God for putting him in my life. He is always there to hug me.. support me.. and hold my hand whenever I need him to. He has helped me through some difficult times and NEVER leaves my side. He works so hard... SO hard to provide for us and so that I can stay home with the kids. I can't imagine my life without him! I love him SO much!!

I am SO thankful for my sons... Brevin, Ian and Alex.. and for my little guy in Heaven, Troy. All my boys are such miracles - they make me smile and laugh - I love the hugs and kisses I get from them and I love watching them grow and learn new things. Nothing could ever prepare me for motherhood - I had NO idea what to expect. It is literally the best thing and so rewarding. I have the best kids in the world. I am so blessed... a thousand times over each and every day!

I am SO thankful for my family... Mike and I have such great and caring parents - they love their grandkids unconditionally and do such wonderful things for them and with them. I am so thankful to have the best babysitters in the world - our family!! They never hesitate when we ask them to watch the kids and always seem excited to come and help - yes.. they do leave tired and exhausted but they always come back!!! Thank you!!!

I am so thankful for friends.. we have some of the greatest friends... I get calls everday from friends that just check in with me to see how things are going...that means the world to me. I still get some yummy lunches from a friend knowing that I am usually to busy to make myself lunch. Those friends near and far - you are all the best - thank you for being you!!

I am so thankful for our home - like I said before.. Mike works so hard so that we can have the home that we live in and I am proud of our home and all the love that is filled inside of it!!

I am so thankful right now to be listening to Christmas music - I LOVE the holiday season!! Please don't get on me for listening to Christmas music before Thanksgiving.. if they played Thanksgiving music.. I would be listening to that.

There is so much to be thankful for... I could go on and on. I am just so thankful for all that I have gone through to get me where I am today - I would not change anything. I really sincerely hope that everyone that reads this post has a very happy Thanksgiving.. a Thanksgiving that is full of family and friends and lots and lots of love!!
