We had our Thanksgiving dinner this year, just the 5 of us. I honestly think this is the first one since Kaitlyn was little that it was just us. It was a wonderful day and I think it turned out just perfect. We started a new tradition this year and we around the table to all share what we are thankful for this year. Now mind you, the kids are still pretty young, but they tried. Patrick said he was thankful for his food and friends, Michael said school and his family, Kaitlyn told me her Mommy and Daddy. I think those are great answers for their age. I'm not sure they completely understand what being thankful is yet, but I'm sure over time we will see that light go on and they will know what we mean. Robert said he was thankful he was home again this year.
As for me, I'm going to include the 10 things I am most thankful for...
1. My God. He is and always will be number 1 in my life. Why you ask? Because of him I have all these other blessing in my life. Thank God!
2. My family, not only my immediate family, but my extended family too. I hope God blesses you all as much as he has me.
3. My friends, Internet and real life. You each hold a special place in my heart!
4. I have my health.
5. We have a roof over our heads and a place to sleep.
6. I'm happily married!
7. The move to OK. It has really helped me know who I am and what I want.
8. My life...the life I've led since day 1. Thank you Mom and Dad for raising me the way you did. I know I wasn't perfect by far, but you've shaped me into the women I am today!
9. Job security...I don't have to worry if Robert will have a job tomorrow.
10. For anyone that this blog might bless.
And just for fun...some Thanksgiving pictures.
