Happy Thanksgiving

We are having a great time in Florida this week and have really enjoyed being with Bill's family and relaxing a little. We were able to go down to Miami to help his brother and his family put their tree together and decorate it. The boys enjoyed having their cousin-pup Cedar come visit them at their house too.

Also, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I wanted to make a list of some things I am thankful for (or which I am sure I left some things out) and hopefully get you thinking of the things you are thankful for...I am guilty of taking a lot of these things for granted.
  • a wonderful husband, who I do not deserve, but somehow am blessed with
  • friends and family who make me laugh and cry, and make life much more enjoyable
  • a dog who is very entertaining and reminds me of my special mother
  • a job that keeps me on my toes and helps me learn on most days
  • opportunities that God has given me to help me grow
  • the beautiful sunset we witness tonight just sitting on my in-laws back porch

It's great to be able to sit down and reflect on all the things I am so thankful for and that God has blessed me with. And I am especially thanksful for all of our silly neices and nephews who always keep us on our toes and keep us laughing....
