What are you Thankful for??

  November is the month to remember what all you have to be thankful for. For me and my family we have many things to be thankful for! From our health to our home! But there are smaller things that are just as great as those big things to be thankful for! I have taken part of the 30 days of thanks on facebook and let me tell you it is not hard to think of one thing you are thankful for each day! Since starting the 30 days of thanks it has given me a better outlook on my life and family! There is always something to be thankful for whether it be for just waking up in the morning or having your favorite coffee drink in the morning! Just remember there are folks out there that don't have those things so remember how truly blessed you are!

  With that being said let me give some thanks for some things in my life! I am truly thankful for my husband! He is the most amazing man I have ever known! Anyone who knows him knows how far he has come in the 10 years we have been together! He is a hard working man and provides me and our 4 kids with everything we need and if there is something that we want he will break his back trying to get it! I love you Honey!  Secondly I am thankful for my 4 wonderful children! I don't know where I would be today if it hadn't been for them! Even though life around here is 99% of the time crazy busy I wouldn't trade it for the world! Thirdly I am thankful for having the opportunity to be a stay at home mom to my kids for the last 10 years! That in itself is the most rewarding blessing any mother could ask for! I have had the opportunity to be there for class parties, fieldtrips, assemblies, and any other activity that has come up! This is the time in my kids lives that they will never forget and it molds how they will be with their own children when they get older!! I wouldn't trade it for the world!  I am also thankful that after 10 years of being a stay at home mom ALL of my kiddos are in school now which also means that I can go back to work! Yeah that right there was 2 thanks! LOL!! I am blessed to have a wonderful part time job as being a substitute at my son's headstart! I get to work in his class and in the other 2 classes too:) So I will get to know all the kids that will be in his kindergarten class in 2 years:)  I also must not forget about my Mom and Dad! I am so thankful for them! They have been there to support me through thick and thin and every stupid decision I have ever made! Who I am today is all because of them! I am a Daddy's girl and my Momma's best friend! What more could a country girl ask for??!! I also have the best lil brother in the whole world! He has the biggest heart I have ever seen in a man! He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it! What makes it even better is that he is a member of the Army reserves and has served 2 tours in Iraq. Of course we worried everyday that he was gone but he always came back to us! I couldn't have asked for a braver brother than that! I love you lil brother! Ok now here is a big one! Who out there can say they have the best in laws in the world??!! Well I can:) I love them all and I am glad they include me as part of the family! And as far as friends go I have the best friends a girl can ask for! Whether it be facebook friends or my real life friends I couldn't have picked them better myself! I am glad God put each and everyone of you into my life! Me and my lil family have many things to be thankful for and we are blessed in so many ways! Life may come hard for us at times and we struggle sometimes on a day to day basis but we has so many more blessings that out weigh those struggles!

  I hope each and everyone of my readers can find at least 1 thing to be thankful for each day! If you can find that blessing each day it will remind you how truly blessed you are! When you and your family gathers together this Thanksgiving season give your family a big huge and tell them how truly thankful you are to have them in your life! I think this will help bring families closer together! Oh and please remember to be courteous on Black Friday! I know most of you will be out and about Thursday evening and Friday morning so just remember everyone is shopping just like you are and they are after the same sales you are. If you don't get what your out shopping for there still is 30 days before Christmas to get those items checked off your list! I hope each and everyone of you have a Happy Thanksgiving, just in case my next blog doesn't come till after Thanksgiving:)
