Things I am thankful for part 5...



last but certainly not least.... I am thankful for my family... ALL OF THEM *yes even my husband ;) *.... My family is my life and they complete me in a way that I never knew that I wanted or needed. My life would have absolutely no meaning without them...


I am also thankful for my extended family and my friends as well. As an only child * I do have 1/2 siblings but was not raised with them etc* I did not understand what it meant to have a sibling, but thanks to Chad being generous enough to share this brothers and their wives with me I understand what family is really about... and honestly it is because of Chad and his relationship with his brothers that I KNEW we had to have more than one child. Obviously there are always tiffs and misunderstandings, but those 'boys' have always come back together in the end and shown me what TRUE family is all about...even if there is some drama involved. THANK YOU BRIAN,TRACY, MICHAEL, and KRISTIE... I am forever thankful for you all.... THANK YOU.


I am thankful that we have found wonderful people who are willing to take care of our children in the event that something would happen to Chad and I. Chad and I know that this couple is the best choice for our children... we KNOW that they already love our children like their own, and we are grateful so very much for the fact that they are willing to take all four so that our children can remain together... They of course will have to purchase a MUCH bigger car... but again... so very thankful for Brian and Tracy! We love you guys more than you will ever know!!


This post could go on forever, so I will cut it short and just say that there is so much that I am thankful for....

Things I am thankful for part 4


MY FREEDOM...
I am so thankful that I live in a country where I can be what I want to be, say what I want to say, and most important believe what I want to believe.
I am also thankful for the men and women who have given their lives for my freedom... Thank you...

Things I am thankful for...part 3

GENEROSITY of others...

In todays world we rarely see this, but when we do it just makes my heart sing with joy. Because of the generosity of others (especially this time of year) people are able to do things that they normally wouldn't, such as have a nice meal, buy their children toys/clothes, spend time with family.

So for that I am thankful!

Things I am thankful for part 2

I am thankful for my children's giggles...

life is so very hectic so often that I hardly can keep my head on straight but the sound of their laughter makes the clouds go away and the world seem so much better....

Things I'm Thankful for...

My good friend Jeanna came up with the idea that with Thanksgiving being this week that she was going to post something each day that she was thankful for... and you know me, when I see an awesome idea I have to borrow it :) So here goes....

I am thankful for my sense of smell....

I know this probably sounds like an odd thing to be thankful for, but honestly... if I didn't have a sense of smell, how would I know how wonderful my children smell fresh out of the tub (Oh... admit it...that is one of your favorite smells)...

Or the smell of my coffee when my husband remembers to turn the pot on when he wakes up...

There are just so many amazing things in this world that come from a sense of smell...
