My Top 11 List

Happy Thanksgiving From Our Home To Yours!

Top 11 Things I Am Thankful For This Year

1. A God who loves me and has a plan for my future. He has provided for our every need. I am not alone in this fight.

2. My dog Zeke. He has walked and laid next to me in the worst of moments. His faithfulness is an example of how to be a great friend.

3. My husband. Eric has worked hard to provide for us. He chose to love me the day we got married and he chooses love daily. We get each other... which is very special.

4. For my children.

Nathan, at 4 1/2 yrs is one of the most interesting and funny people I know. He has worn a collared button-up shirt, dress pants, and fancy church shoes daily for the past 2 months... he's my little 'Alex P. Keaton' and I love his quirky ways.

Leah is a light and ponytail bouncing bundle of joy. I'll love her forever, I'll want her for always, as long as I'm living my baby she'll be.

5. I am thankful for my church. Eric loves his job and it appears he is exactly where he is supposed to be... which we know is a rare blessing. The diversity of people at BOSS is freeing and I am seeing God in a fresh new way. 

6. Our home. Just a few months ago I had no idea where we would live and we were technically "homeless". We found the real estate diamond in the rough. I love my house.

7. I am thankful for my freedoms as an American. So many around the globe live under an oppression that I cannot fathom. We are a blessed people.

8. Friends and family. We have the most incredible support system and the kindest friends we could ask for.   I have been truly humbled by the outpouring of love we have received.

9. That I found my lump. If I had waited till I was 40 to have a mammogram I would be dead. 

10. Very thankful that I have not lost my appetite yet. Looking forward to enjoying our thanksgiving spread!

11. I haven't had to shave in over a month! NIENER, NIENER, NIENER!!!!!
