Things I'm Thankful For

Since it is November and we, as humans, need to be reminded of the things in our lives that we are grateful for again and again I have decided to do one thing each day this month that I am thankful for.  I really do like this time of year and I wish that most of the world didn't skip right over Thanksgiving for a more commercially friendly holiday (that I love too!) so I am going to spend a little extra time this year being thankful for all of the things that I have been blessed with.  And, since I am a few days late in getting started I am going to do a big catch up post now and then one each day highlighting the things that I am most grateful for.

1. My wonderful family.  We have had a couple of really rough years and I am so glad to be finally living all under the same roof, spending time with the ones that matter most.

(we need an updated picture, but I guess now we will wait for the baby to make it's appearance for one)

2.  My husband, Jake.  I love him so much.  He is my best friend.  He works so hard to give us everything we could possibly need and/or want.  He is always there for me.  He gives my life balance.  And I know that he love me.

3.  Good music.  I love a song that has a message that really hits home and this new song by Hilary Weeks really did for me.  It has a great message.

4. Books.  I have read more books than you could ever try and count.  I love reading and getting "lost" in a story.  I love reading to find out information and just for the fun of it too.  I could read all day long and into the night, but I don't think my family would be too pleased so I try and limit myself.
