Happy Thanksgiving!

For Thanksgiving its a time to reflect on all that you have to be thankful for, all the blessings that you have, and to enjoy your family. I try to do this daily and thank God for all that he has given me from the main things to the small things.

I'm very thankful for my loving and supportive husband, for my wonderful and healthy kids, for the awesome family in WV that we miss...but ya'll already know all that.


Last year we were starting the hunt of finding our very first home and it was a very long process that took us through some fun times and difficult times. When we found this house I knew it was the one that God had planned for us but I didn't know why. I didn't know why he had chosen this house in a new school district...in a new area (although not far from the old area).


However, every day as I watch the seasons change, I become more aware of why we were moved here, why we needed to make new friends, why this house was right for us and our kids. I thank God for his love, strength, guidance, and letting me learn these things in time. He has blessed us with wonderful n'bors, a wonderful school who knows us and our kids, and friends who led me to a wonderful mom's fellowship on Tuesday mornings. He has also blessed us with cows who bring us laughter, gold fish which bring us joyment, and land that we can use to benefit our family.


He also blessed prolly more me and the kids than JD with barn cats...this is Missy and she is just the sweetest thing...of course Gideon and Bella never let me down.


He also blesses us in the quiet times, like stringing popcorn and cranberries.

and of course for something that really prolly shouldn't count he has blessed me with major counter space this year which has made the preparing of our Thanksgiving dinner an even bigger joy : )

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a ton of great food : )
