I'm Thankful...

Thanksgiving is a time to remember and acknowledge things for which you are thankful. Here is a list of things that I am thankful for and feel blessed to have in my life (in no particular order):

I'm Thankful for...

My beautiful daughters, who give me a reason to laugh and smile each and every day


Brock, who keeps me grounded, loves me unconditionally and spoils me on a regular basis

My mom, who showed me many ways to be a good mom

My dad, who showed me the value of hard work

My step-dad, who loved me as his own from the beginning

My in-laws, who love me as their own daughter not just their son's wife

My brothers, who ask me for advice and value my opinions, it makes me feel like a really good "big" sister

All of my friends, near and far, who each add something special to my life

Scrapbooking, that enables me to preserve our family memories for my children

Our boat, that lets us share so much quality family time together

That we have a home that is always full of love and blissful chaos the rest of the time :)

My blog, that allows me to share the events of our family life with our family and friends

Audrey's love of music, that allows her to express her artistic talents through the piano

"Claireisms" (little remarks/phrases that she says), that show her colorful personality so well

Duke, our family dog, who filled a void that we didn't realize was there until he completed our happy little family

Starbucks, that it helps me get going every morning

Amy and Dori (my Pilates and fitness trainers) who push me to work harder, and have in the process helped me get fit and stay healthy

All of my books, that they give me the much-needed "Mommy Time" to sit back and relax

Facebook, that it allows me to stay in touch with friends from high school and college that I would have otherwise probably lost contact with

My life, like everything, is full of ups and downs, joys and pains, but you don't learn to appreciate the ups and the joys without the downs and the pains. So when I think about my life, I feel so very, very blessed!

Thank you to everyone who is a part of my life - without each of you my life would missing something! Love to you all!!!
