It's Thanksgiving! Even if only just
barely, it's here and I'm ready to chow down. I'm also ready for Jim
to get home... I'm waiting for him to get off work right now, he
should be home about 4-4:30am and I think I'll wait up to let him
know just how thankful I am for him and all he does for us. I
couldn't imagine my life without him, couldn't imagine not having my
family here living this crazy life with me. Jim has been there
through thick and thin, through every single life altering moment
that has shaped who I am today and I just don't know what I did to
get so lucky to have him for my own.
I'm also so very thankful for my
beautiful girls, all three of them! Just like I couldn't imagine a
life without Jim, I couldn't and wouldn't want to imagine my life
without them either. Riley and Olivia have really molded me into an
adult and I know that when this newest little miss arrives that
she'll be shaping me evermore. These girls have given me reasons to
live, to mature and to become a better person and mother, since that
is all I ever aim to do now that I have them. I can't wait to spend
my life doing the best I can, definitely doing better than I am right
now, and being best of friends with my girls like my mom is with me.
I am just so thankful for them and that makes me even more thankful
for Jim, yet again, for giving me these miracles.
There is so much more that I am
thankful for... SO much... I am thankful for my mom and the
relationship we had the entire time I was growing up. I am thankful for my
brother and dad being able to be here and 'free.' I'm proud of
them for the changes they've made in themselves and thankful they
realized they were necessary ones. I am thankful to be moving into
our new (verrry little) home soon. I am thankful to be feeling this
child inside of me kicking and rolling around like a madwoman! ;) I
am thankful for the life I live, even with the shit that often comes
in droves, because I honestly wouldn't wanna live another life if
given the chance. Having my family means I have it all, so THANK YOU
Lord, for giving me that. Thank you Lord for choosing me, even though
I know I can be ungrateful at times, to be me.
So what are you thankful for? Do you too
have children who are your entire life? Do you have an amazing
husband you can always count on? Maybe you've just landed a dream job
or are thankful to be taking a vacation soon? Whatever it may be, I'd
love to hear from you in the comments what you are most thankful for! I will probably be skipping tomorrow's "Freebie Friday," but
I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving and a VERY SAFE Black Friday
if you're one of the nuts heading out to take on the world at the
crack of dawn... I'd be thankful for an iPad if you're so inclined ;)
