HAPPY (early) THANKSGIVING!

10 things that I am thankful for:

1. life--it is oh so precious!

2. my children! I have always dreamed of becoming a mother to a daughter and God has been so generous and gracious to have blessed me with 3 of them!

3. my husband! He is so wonderful to me. I could not have ever asked for a better husband. We are a perfect pair.

4. our little house! growing up we moved a lot, so I have never known what it was like to have a 'home'. We have considered moving lots of times, but the thought of leaving my little 'home' is heartbreaking!

5. my parents---they are great grandparents to my children, and if any of us ever need them, they are here at the drop of a hat.

6. our health---after watching a precious young child die, you begin to really rethink what good health means.

7. my children's doctor---if it wasn't for him and others like him, where would we be?

8. friends---although some of my best friends, I don't get to see hardly at all, if ever, they are still the bestest of friends.

9. my girl's teachers! Gosh they amaze me-Madalyn and Loraly have both grown to be such smart girls--and my girls both absolutely love all their teachers---THANK YOU TO ALL THE WONDERFUL TEACHERS IN THE WORLD. I had always dreamed of becoming a teacher but being a mother was my number one dream!

10. Last but DEFINITELY not least, I am thankful to God for the love he has put in my life, taught me, shown me, and made me feel!
