I am thankful for............................

I am thankful for SO many things,


First of all I am SO thankful for the best hubby/father to our daughter ever. He literally makes her  us both chuckle like no one else can.  He is the best provider, encourager and friend I could ask for. I love you sweetie!

D and her dada

Also, for my mother who listens to me babble on the phone about nonsense for up to an hour each day. Who still babies me when I am sick. Who along with my hubby knows me better than anyone. Who drives 4 hours once a month to watch her granddaughter for a couple of days.

D and grandma Diane

I am also thankful for my baby girl who makes me laugh. Who is not too difficult by baby standards and who I look forward to seeing everyday. She makes me excited about the future, Ok about getting older and an overall better person.

Doodlebug

 I am thankful for my MIL who takes care of little Doodlebug TWICE a week while I go off to work. She is loving, thoughtful, generous, and she is easy to talk to. She plays hard with D and teaches her a lot of new things.

I am also very thankful for my sister-in law, Rebekah. We have a very good relationship and I love her SO much.
She is SO sweet, caring and funny and the best auntie ever! and I always look forward to spending time with her. I am also thankful for my new brother in law and Rebekah's hubby Dan. He is so smart, kind, and down to earth, he is also a blast to hang out with. I could not have handpicked a better guy for her.

 I am thankful for my nephew. Little Boston is SO cute and I miss him so much! I am thankful when I do get to spend time with him because I know that he is going to change so much and I want him to know me. I love my brother and his girlfriend Brianna too of course! Thanks for making such a cute, sweet baby!

I am also thankful for my dad. He always gives the best advice and insight to difficult situations that I may face. I always know if I am down and I call him, he will cheer me up. He has inspired me in SO many ways throughout my life. I love you Dad!

I am thankful for my father in law. He is the first one who will be at your side when you are in need. He is a great listener and a wise and godly man. I have learned and continue to learn a lot from his as well.
