Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Today and everyday I am thankful for:

• My husband Kevin who loves me so much. He makes me coffee every morning & lets me sleep in on Saturdays. Kev has more integrity than any other person I know. I love his heart for God and his generosity to other people. He is the best daddy to Kate & Claire & it is so fun watching him interact with them. I am so lucky to be married to him.
  

• My beautiful little girls Kate & Claire who have brought more joy to my life than I could ever describe. I am thankful for God's timing for giving me these girls.

• Our parents. We are so lucky to live a mile from both of our parents. I am thankful for my mom and Kevin's mom who watch them for us while I am at work or if I need to go to an appointment or on errands. I am thankful my girls have grandparents that are so involved in their lives.
  

• My sisters. Elyse & Becks are 2 of my best friends. What other sisters can say that? We have always been the best of friends & we just "get" each other..most of the time. I hope Kate & Claire have a relationship like I have with my sister. Auntie El and Auntie Box are the best!
  

• My friends new and old! I am lucky to have solid core group of friends, some of them who I have been friends with since elementary school! A bunch of us have kids the same ages & 4 of us just had babies weeks & days apart! I have also made a couple of new friends this year & it has been so fun, I look forward to getting to know them better!

• My job. I love being a math teacher. I am blessed to teach at a school that is 2 minutes from my house. It is fun teaching at the middle school that both Kevin and I went to. I have wonderful co-workers & have made some really close friends at school. I am thankful for my principal who is flexible and allows teachers, like myself to teach part time so I can be home with my girls for most of the day.
  

• Our church. I am thankful God brought us back to the church we both grew up going to (after going to a different church for 6 years) God knew it was exactly what we needed when we needed it. It is refreshing and feels like we are back at home. I am thankful for the leadership, wisdom, community and vision of our church!
  

I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am off to bed with a full belly & a heart full of thanks.
