Over the course of the past year I have quickly come to realize that I have so many things to be thankful for! Big things, small things, but most importantly, the tiny things.
To name a few...
Motherhood. I never knew the kind of love that exists between mother and child until I was blessed with Charlie! He brightens each and every day. He makes me smile and his belly laughs are contagious. Literally, as I am typing this message he is watching Daddy peel potatoes and is laughing hysterically! I'm not sure exactly what it is that he finds to be so funny but it's tiny insignificant moments like this that I am truly thankful for! Charlie, thank you for making me see life in a new way, I truly just love you to pieces!
Companionship. My baby Daddy, the love of my life! He is amazing, funny, handsome, hard working, thoughtful, loving, protective, sincere, proud, funny, and caring. He is truly one of a kind and I am so very honored that he is mine! I look forward to raising our family together and I simply can not wait to see what the future has in store for us! Bob, I love you forever and always.
Family. While some are near and some are far (oh how we miss them dearly) we are so very thankful to have such loving, supportive, and nurturing families behind us cheering us on!
Friends. Our core group of friends literally live right next door! How convenient! From the late night giggles by the bonfire or burning last year's Christmas trees to the annual Wild West Day/pumpkin patch/carving/costume party extravaganzas the friendships we have formed are nothing short of amazing, true, sincere, honest, fun, and adventurous!
Employment. I am so very thankful that I have an employer that has been generous with promotions over the course of the last six years, that they are flexible with my scheduling, and that I also have the capabilities to work from home when my personal life requires me to be away from the office.
Daycare. While I still find myself struggling with being separated from Charlie (even if he has entered some type of unusual whiny tantrum throwing phase) I find great comfort in/with the caregiver that we have selected. Mrs. Kara truly does have his best interests at heart and treats him as if he was one of her own.
Naptime. Yes, I'm thankful for naptime. Without it, I would never be able to get anything done or get that ever so needed extra sleep!
Shelter. While it may not be the house of my dreams we have made our house a home; it's comforting, comfortable, and is a reflection of us. As cliche as this may sound, there really is no place like home!
And with that my friends, may you and yours have a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving! Now go gobble until you wobble!
