'Tis the Season to be Thankful... Fa la la la la lala la la

Well, after reading two of my good friend's blogs, I am inspired to share with ya'll all of my blessings that I am thankful for. Even though I am going through a rough time right now (moving out of my home state to the north) I still thank God everyday for my life and the people He has put in my path.


I am thankful for my daughter. Being able to feel what a mother's love feels like. It is indescribable. I would take a bullet for that girl. Our lives revolve around her and I love that.

Again, I am thankful for my daughter- because while Kent is at work and I am at home, in a place that is very new to me, with not many friends- she is all I have. We have a blast together. She keeps me smiling.

My husband. He is my rock. God knew what he was doing when he put us together. We compliment eachother well. :-) He keeps me going. He keeps me in line :) I love him so much.

my husband's job. Although it has moved us VERY far from our family (whom we are super close with and miss terribly) it has brought us closer together. I love that we only have eachother up there to turn to. I love that on the weekends, I get him all to myself. It is bringing us closer.

Staying at home with our daughter- it has been such a blessing. Something that I started taking for granted but God reminded me what a blessing it is.

Being pregnant...with our second daughter. Pregnancy is such a miracle. I can't wait to be holding my baby girl.

Friends. We are still so new to the north, I don't have any friends up there yet. I wish I could move my DFW girlfriends (Whitney, Holly, Kimberly.... Ann, Angela, Megan, Lindsey) up to where we are... I guess our situation last year was just too good to last a long time! Luckily I still talk to Whitney on a daily basis (which makes it feel like she's still just down the road from me) and then I have facebook to keep up with everyone else. And Holly, I am not only thankful for your friendship- I am also thankful for your willingness to give your opinion of anything medical. I can ALWAYS count on you and it puts me at ease when I get nervous about something that is going on with Kensley. Thank you for that :)

Facebook.... for all my nosey moments ;-) and then for being able to easily keep in touch with my dear friends.

Playdates. For the adult interaction as well as the interaction Kensley gets with other kids.

Fall weather. We arrived up north right before fall hit. That was a good thing. It was beautiful and the weather was JUST how I liked it- sunny and cool. Ahhhh......

Fall colors- the trees up north are absolutely BEAUTIFUL during the fall.

The Winn family- they are the only other Texans we know where we live now. I am so thankful for them. Kensley has the girls to play with and we are able to help eachother out all the time.

My mom. My Ging. Everything about them. They are my best friends.

My relationship with God. We have yet to find a church up there, but I try my hardest to keep my relationship with God fresh everyday. In fact, he reminded me yesterday how GREAT He is. He answered prayers ALL DAY! Such an amazing God!

I could go on and on about what I am thankful for..... maybe I'll do a sequal to this when I get some more time. :) I need to get my precious baby girl up from her nap so we can get ready to go to Ging's for some Wright's bar-b-q!!!!! Mmmmmm......
