It is a beautiful day here in Kentucky, a great reminder that we all have so much to be thankful for in our lives. I was thinking back to our life only a year ago, and so much has changed. I was 8 months pregnant, Nick was in AIT so we spent our Thanksgiving in a hotel, eating mozzarella sticks and pizza rolls for dinner. We were together though, and that is what matters most.
The list goes on and on, but the main thing I have to be grateful for. Family near and far, although mostly far.
We know we have a support system country wide, a large group of people who love and support us, and would do anything that we needed.
We have both been blessed with amazing parents who have taught us so much, and giving us so much love. We are now parents ourselves, and are able to experience all of the joy that come with that.
William brings so much joy and laughter into our home, he has such a sweet spirit and always makes you feel so special.
I am grateful for our health, and for our freedoms. Although Nick has not had the chance to "fight" for our country yet, I am still bursting with pride that he chose to do this, because if is was not for men and women like him, we probably would not have so much to be grateful for.
We have a beautiful home to live in, that we can call our own. It is full of all of the things we need, and plenty that we want. I am thankful for my craftiness, to make our house a home. Even though it never turned out to be a money maker, I am glad I was given the chance to try it out.
Tell your family and friends how much you appreciate them in your life, and keep the spirit of thanksgiving in your heart.
Take a moment to see the beauty in life, I can guarantee that you will find it in unexpected places.
