Thanksgiving isn't until tomorrow, but we will most likely be busy cooking and playing and stuff and I wanted to make sure I wrote down the blessings in my life that I am most grateful for.
My husband. What can I say, I am one lucky woman. He provides for us without one complaint. He adores his children. He treats me with respect and kindness even when I don't deserve it. He is my best friend.
My kids. They drive me nuts and make me want to rip my hair out, but they are awesome. Their smiles are contagious, when they laugh I can't help but stop and listen, they love each other and they are definitely the best thing I have ever helped create.
My siblings. I have no doubt that they are always only a phone call away. We fight like cats and dogs, but if anyone messes with one of us, the claws come out. We are like a wolf pack and we show no mercy. Seriously, my brother and sisters are awesome!
My parents. Through their successes and their mistakes they have taught me to be the type of parent that I want to be. They showed me that you can go through hard times and come out the other side stronger and wiser. They have shown me what unconditional love really is.
My in-laws. Remember that awesome husband I was telling you about? Well, these are the people I have to thank for him. I am so blessed to be a part of their family. They are so willing to help us and our little family. Our children adore them and I am pretty sure the feeling is mutual.
My friends and neighbors. Without these people, I would most likely go insane. They provide other kids for mine to play with and adult conversation for me. Until you are a stay at home parent, you can never really understand the importance of adult conversation.
There are so many other great and wonderful things that I am thankful for. I thank my Father in Heaven ever day for the blessings that he has sent to me.
