Thanksgiving!




First of all, Happy Thanksgiving!!! I personally love Thanksgiving and give it a close second to Christmas as far as my favorite holidays. I just love it when family comes together for these occasions. The food is not bad either you know! And there is also the shopping....but that is a different post for a different time! :) I have realized that I personally have much to be thankful for:
{In no specific order}
  • My loving husband who encourages me daily.
  • Being able to pay our bills without stress.
  • Having food on our table.
  • A family who loves me, no matter what!
  • A job in a stable company with great benefits.
  • A warm coat to keep me warm in IN!
  • Photos and memories of our beautiful wedding.
  • LIFE! No one is promised to tomorrow, this has been confirmed for me this week...
  • Freedom to worship and pray.
  • My in-laws, especially the support and encouragement of my brother and sister in law at work :)
  • Friends in FL, who make me feel like we still live in the same state!
  • Friendships that have grown and deepened...Brooke, this is you!
  • Vacations and warm beaches!
  • A boss who is respectful and understanding.
  • Family in IN that has made me feel like I belong, nothing will replace my FL family but it is nice to have love and support up here too.
  • Being able to be with FL family for Christmas and keeping old traditions alive!
  • Our cozy apartment that is a great place to start our lives together!
  • Again, my husband and my best friend!  Love you hun!
I could keep thinking of things because blessings overflow, but I need to start making some delicious green bean casserole :) Hope that you all have time today to think about your blessings and things you are thankful for. Enjoy time with family and friends and have a very Happy Thanksgiving!!

*To my family in Florida, Thanksgiving will not be the same this year. I miss you guys and love you all so much! Hopefully someone else signed up to bring green bean casserole, because is it not Thanksgiving without it! I will be thinking about you guys today! Happy Thanksgiving and see you soon for Christmas! YAY!
