So Much To Be Thankful For

I am thankful for so much this year...first and foremost, my husband, who is back from his second tour to Iraq, which also allows me to say I am thankful that he is home. I'm thankful for the three greatest people I know-my children; Madison, Peyton and Allison. And the list continues...my family, my husband's family, our home, our neighborhood, food to eat, quality healthcare, my childrens' school and teachers, my new cell phone which allows me to text faster (very cool), that it isn't raining today, that my family survived Swine Flu, my computer, my writing opportunities, the treadmill who happens to be my most consistent running buddy as long as I remember to plug her in.

I'm also grateful for the sacrifices the military makes to ensure our freedom, and the opportunities we have in our country. I'm thankful my toddler is almost completely potty trained and the progression of her vocabulary, my son's imagination and gentle spirit, and my oldest daughter's reading ability and big heart. I'm thankful that I was able to see both my Uncle Pat and Grandpa in the weeks before they passed away and that our family was able to come together and not only mourn the loss of them but also share memories of our time together. I am thankful for life and the love that surrounds me daily.

Happy Thanksgiving
