Things I'm thankful for...

We went to my mom and dad's home for Thanksgiving. It was a small group of us, but the food was amazing- as usual- and we had time to relax. WE also managed to get out early Friday morning to do some shopping. I was up anyway so when I heard my mom upstairs getting ready, I jumped in the car with them. We had our eyes on a computer in Best Buy's ad-- and I got one. We really like it so far. It's a lot faster than our previous one.
Anyway, on to the pics...

Addie made a Manger Mobile


Lucas helped me crochet hats for the new little babies born in my caseload this month.


Addie was princess Aurora most of the weekend. She loved this dress Memaw has for play. Memaw also got her a small Christmas tree of her very own!

Things I'm Thankful for...
  1. this new computer- we can watch video again...so nice!
  2. warm home
  3. job that I enjoy
  4. health- in spite of sleep issues
  5. stable finances- we live within our means which helps reduce stress over money
  6. My daughter knows how much she's loved
  7. I have sweet doggies that follow me everywhere I go. I don't think anyone could love me more than my chocolate lab
  8. Husband that works hard to support our family.
  9. my parents who never let me down and pray for me often
  10. being a mother- I'm so glad I've had the chance
  11. two reliable cars that are PAID for.
  12. good books and movies
  13. a sister I can talk to almost anytime of the day
  14. a couple, really close girlfriends I can tell anything
  15. quiet time to pray and study God's word- I don't get to it everyday, but it really helps me frame my mind for the day
  16. working out- I feel so sloppy if I don't get a work out in a few times a week
  17. friends I've made at work- they're a good group of gals
  18. my family in town- we really only have Micah's sister close by- but she and her family are a GODSEND- my parents should live in town...they help out with Addie so much!
  19. a phone call I got from my brother in Australia a couple weeks ago
  20. my walks with Supavan
  21. Freedom- people all over the world don't have it
  22. my dishwasher, washer and dryer- all the conveniences of home
  23. safety- or at least the illusion of it
  24. my vacuum cleaner- it's a Dyson, and I have two huge dogs, need I say more?
  25. hugs, kisses, and sweet loving words from my precious toddler- "I love you beary much."
