Thanksgiving

In this month of Thanksgiving, I decided to blog about the things I am most thankful for.  First and foremost, I am thankful for my God who provides me the blessings! 

Family:  I am so blessed with an awesome family who while like most can be frustrating at times, I wouldn't trade them for the world!  I don't tell them enough how grateful I am to have them.  So glad to have a husband who isn't afraid to do whatever it takes to provide for his family even if it means sacrificing something else.  My daughter Kennedy who has my quick whit about her and her father's love of the outdoors!  Yeah, pretty sure if for some reason Mark and I were to split up she would prefer to live with him, at least until she is a teenager.  Haha.  Then there is sweet Cayden.  Yeah, I don't say that enough, and I can't imagine our lives without him in it. 

I am also thankful for my extended family and the things, good and bad, I have learned from them, because it has made me the person and the mom I am today.

Next are my in laws, I am so blessed to have them, not everyone gets the chance to have in laws that they can get along with and treat them as if they are blood kin, but I got lucky!  As well as the rest of my husband's family.

Job:  While just like every job, it isn't always sunshine and rainbows, but I am thankful for it and even on the bad days I am still grateful for it.  And glad that on those days, I try and always keep it separate from my home life. 

Church:  So much I can say about my church and my church family.  I won't name the ones I am appreciative of because I know I will leave someone off.  But grateful for having an awesome Pastor, and those that spend so much time making sure my kids learn about Jesus.  I don't say thanks enough for that.

Friends:  Again, so many to name, but wouldn't want to leave anyone off.  I have many friends, but a few closer than others, and I could never tell them HOW much they mean to me and my family.  There are few people that come into lives that we know right away they friends for life.  I have been blessed with a few of those in my life time and so many things I would have done differently had I known our time would have been short, whether due to death, disconnection, or just they moved away(you know who you are...haha.)  But I wouldn't trade them for the world.  Like tonight I got a text while I was in a grocery store asking me to join two ladies for breakfast, unfortunately Cayden has an early morning soccer game and Kennedy has a tournament(all on opening weekend, so Mark is gone), so I had to say no, but she has no idea how that made me smile that she asked, just out of the blue......Thanks!

There are so many more things to be thankful for, but I think this is long enough!
