Thankful

today and always...

It is that perfect time of year to really put some deep thought into our life and really think about what we are thankful for and the blessings we have.  Not just because it's the holiday season but because it's a great time to reflect on the year.
a little fun with some editing



I must admit I get a little giddy around this time just thinking about the holidays.  I put this warm and fuzzy picture in my head of a fire place burning, everyone I love around me, telling stories, my kids playing, and a glow from all the christmas lights...now that's something good.  I'm cheesy like that:)  I also like to picture Nate and I at some fancy Christmas party all dressed up drinking our cocktails and spreading some holiday cheer - something in the city perhaps-ha! 
(I started putting Christmas stuff up last week.  Every night I've been putting a little up.  I like the feeling of not feeling rushed.  I've just been taking my time:)


I am so thankful for my husband, my children and their health, our jobs, our wonderful families, and our friends we have.  I didn't always feel this way about my job because I wanted to be home with my kids, but I'm telling you it has just all fallen into place somehow.  I feel good about going to work.  I feel good about Greyson in preschool.  And I feel so good about leaving Sailor with either Nate, Grammy Ann, or Papa Davey.  We all know I take long maternity leaves:) but then I get to leave my kids with close family and that my friends is VERY important to me.  And for that, I'm thankful.

I am also thankful for the people I have met through blogging and thank you for reading our little corner here on the web.
 I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you indulge in all the good food and wonderful people around you on this day.  I know I will!
