Thanksgiving is a time to reflect in ones life for the things that they are thankful for. Every year that I can remember at the dinner table we have gone around and said one thing that we are thankful for. So here I sit, thinking about what I'm going to say when it's my turn to speak. It seems like when it comes to my turn I always say the same thing - Family. While this is so very true, I am ever so thankful for my family, this year has been a year that has reminded me how thankful I am for my family.
I am so thankful for that little bundle of joy who is right now is next to me sleeping so peacefully. I feel so blessed that God has given Kelly and I such a beautiful, healthy, sweet, and amazing little boy. It is such an amazing gift to be a mother and the love for this child is so amazing.
My husband is such a great and loving husband and again I'm so blessed to have found him and been able to share the past 10 years together. I look back all we have gone through and think ahead to all that we still have to experience. I couldn't think of anyone else I would want to do it with.
My mother is such an amazing woman and mother, that I don't even know if words can express how thankful I am that she is my mother. I thankful for everything she has ever done for me and all the things that she has ever taught me.
My brothers and sisters, are some of the most amazing people I know and I'm glad that they are my brothers and sisters. They have been a huge support system and I'm so glad that we have each other.
Every member of my family, extended family and friends included, are all amazing wonderful people and I am so thankful for each and every one of them.
So this year as we go around the table and talk about what we are grateful for, I know that when it comes to my turn I will again say "family". Because with each year I am more and more thankful for my family.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
