Thankful Thoughts

I know it's not Thanksgiving yet, but it has me thinking about all the things that I'm grateful for. I know it's probably obvious, but sometimes these things need to be said or written OUT LOUD. I'm so grateful for my Husband and children. Each day has it's challenges, but they are over shadowed by so much love and joy. I love watching the kids grow and learn. The other morning Colten was just waking up and I saw him licking his fingers and then rubbing his eyes. I asked him what he was doing and he told me his eyes were thirsty. It made me laugh and I just had to hug and kiss him. I am so grateful for Brock and how loving and supportive he is to me and all my craziness, but most of all I'm grateful that our children have such a wonderful father. He is so great about getting on the floor and playing with the kids, reading books at bedtime, letting Colten help him out in the yard, and everything else.

I'm Thankful for my wonderful parents, sisters and all other extended family that enrich our lives and show us so much love.

I'm grateful to live in this country (in spite of the new president elect) and for the freedoms that we enjoy. I have so much gratitude for all of those who have served and currently serve in the military.

I'm extremely thankful for all my dear friends near and far that keep me sane and make my life fuller. I love you all!

I'm very thankful for my health and that of my family. It's something I've always taken for granted, but I had to learned the hard way what a blessing it is.

I'm thankful that I'm a mother and I wife. I've never really wanted much else.

Happy Thanksgiving!
