happy thanksgiving everyone! how can it be the end of november already? this year has literally flown by!
we have so much to be thankful for... i don't want to miss that in the hustle of our day to day schedules. we get so consumed with all the things we have to do and all the worries and stress that are part of it all that i think all the blessings we have can be easily overlooked.
i am so thankful for an amazing hubby who loves and adores me. and loves and adores our baby girl. we are both spoiled ladies :-) he works his booty off to provide for us. he's letting me chase my dreams right now! i get to be a stay at home momma and a full-time student and he supports it all 100% halving our family income was one of the scariest things ever, but he never doubted. i'm thankful for all the little things he does for us. he knows me better than anyone else in this whole wide world and he knows when i just need to escape the house to go the grocery store alone or to help with the babes so i can study. i am thankful for my bub.
i am thankful for our amazing daughter! it's hard to remember what life was like without her. she is such a little joy! our sweet baby girl is full of happiness and sweetness and love. she's curious and determined and smart. i'm so lucky to be her momma. i can't wait to see what the months and years ahead of her will hold. it is a true privilage to be able to raise her.
i am thankful for a safe, warm home. it's not big or fancy or even all that quiet (silly highway!) but it's ours and it's cozy and generally always smells lovely :-)
i am thankful for two cars that run. two paid off cars! so one of them is OLD and sorta worn, ok, alot worn. but they both run and get us where we need to go.
i am thankful for good health. we are blessed beyond anything we could hope for or deserve in this department. i am thankful that bub, nugg and i are all healthy as can be.
i am thankful for God's provision in our finances. as is the case for many these days, money is tight. it doesn't make sense that our bills all get paid each month, but they do. and it's been that way since i quit working over a year ago. God is good to us! i hope we can be good stewards of what we've been so graciously given.
i am thankful for family! i'm so lucky to have so many awesome people that i call mom, sis, uncle, aunt, father-in-law, cousins... all of them. they're supportive and loving and i cherish them all!
i am so thankful for friends. they are our family here in nashville. we are so blessed by you all! life would be impossible without the amazing people we get to call our friends. it's impossible to do this baby-raising thing alone - we are surrounded by support and love.
i am thankful for our church. it's massive and it's been a little hard to get connected, but it's a great place with amazing teachers and we are lucky to be part of such an amazing congregation.
and on a silly note...
i am thankful for pinterest, fat-free vanilla steamers, "pharm phlash" study cards, my awesome classmates who help me out when my brain is fuzzy from being up with the babes all night, a sweet kitty who might claw everyone else, but loves me :-) mental health drugs and modern family.
gobble gobble my loves!
