Thanksgiving is a time of year when many reflect on things for which they are thankful. I am so blessed in my life and it is a shame that I do not proclaim the things I am thankful for more often. Here are a few things I am thankful for this year:
1. I am thankful that I am alive and well and loved.
2. I am thankful for Ethan and the joy he brings me each day. He is healthy and active and for whatever reason he loves Spiderman. He loves to sing. He loves to dance. He makes me smile.
3. I am thankful for my husband and all the laughs we share. Even the things he does to drive me crazy.
4. I am thankful for my family that surrounds me. My mom who is a close friend and I can share things. My dad who is always encouraging and loving. My sisters who are so different from me but I love to pieces anyway. Brother-in-laws that remember the same cartoons as me. All four of my grandparents, all alive and well. And Brian's family too.
5. I am thankful for my drill team friends, past and present. Those that I share memories with and the friendships that last. The new friendships I've made and the life moments we share together.
6. I am thankful that we have a house over our head, a car in our garage and food on our table.
7. I am thankful for my job because even on the bad days I still love what I do. And I have Hailey to help me through.
8. I am thankful for our church and the friends we have made. A place where I can grow, Ethan can grow, and our family can grow together.
9. I am thankful that I live in America and have the freedoms that most people don't.
10. I am thankful that God lets me be a wife, mama, daughter, sister, friend and neighbor. Because really, it's He that blesses me.
