Thankful

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! I hope you all did too!

It was SUPER special because for the past two years, we spent it

by ourselves, so it was nice to spend this year with family again.

Family has always been the constant in my life, and I feel extrememly

blessed to be born into such a wonderful clan. We missed spending
Thanksgiving with the WHOLE clan, but we are hoping to see them

soon. I love them all very much too. I'm blessed to have one of

those fun-crazy families that when we get together, WATCH-OUT!

My Grandma is a hoot, and I have the best Aunt's and Uncle's ever.

There is always WAY too much laughter. My cousin's and I have

always been close, and now that we are all adults and have our own

kids, I have made new friendships with them and their spouses. In

fact, one of my best friends is my cousin. Like I said, I feel extremely

blessed to be born into this clan, the WHOLE clan!!!

We missed you this year, maybe next year!

My parents came up to spend the weekend with

my sister and I, and as always, we ate and played!

My favorite part of the entire weekend was going shopping

with my sister and my Mom on Saturday. We hit

the best of the best stores, Tai Pain, Ben Franklin Crafts and

Hobby Lobby. I love getting together and having some girl time.

This year has had it's ups and downs, and at times it

was hard to see just how much I've been blessed.

This year the thing I am most grateful for is that I recognize

just how blessed I am right now. I feel so happy and mushy inside, and

it's a wonderful feeling. I grateful for so many things this

season, and I it makes my heart glad.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Now and all year long!
