Thankful

Yes, I am behind on my posts and I know everyone is anxious to see pictures of the 4 cousins together again.  They were quite cute, tons of fun and work.... but among the caos I LOVED every minute.

Thankful.  I have had that subject on my brain for weeks.  I have so much to be thankful for it was hard picking just one thing, so I picked more than one.  (They are not in any order!)

First, I am thankful that everyone in my family is healthy and happy.  That is a HUGE blessing in itself.

Second, based on the past year, I am very thankful for my talented, well educated, witty, and loving husband.  As my grandmother would say, "We made lemonade out of lemons."  Yes, we had to leave our Virginia home and start a new adventure in Milwaukee, but I am eternally grateful for our family being together, a roof over our heads, and a great future.  David, I am really proud of you and of us.   

Third, I am thankful for Kohl's!  They hired David, moved us to Milwaukee and offered us an amazing opportunity!  They are not only a great place to shop, but a great place to work too!

Fourth, I am thankful for the opportunity to step on matchbox cars and plastic dinosaurs, treasure maccaroni & bead necklaces like diamonds, masterpiece marker drawings adorning my fridge,  lots of "i love you mamas" and hugs from little arms, independant minds, swings flying in the sky.... way up so high, scooter races in the driveway, caotic morning routines, and 2 sweet little children of my very own.  Kate and Stephen, everyday you fill my life with joy, laughter, passion, and love and for that I am ETERNALLY THANKFUL.

I love you all and I wish you nothing but blessing this Thanksgiving!
