Giving Thanks


We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year and were able to spend time with lots of family. This is one of my favorite holidays and I find myself amazed each year as I think of all that I am thankful for and how much God has provided and blessed us with. We spent our morning at church with friends and then went onto my Grandpa's house to enjoy a very large feast with all the family. After an early dinner and visisting we went over to Nate's mom's house and spent time with her and Jesse who was in town for the weekend. The holiday was much different with a 10.5 month old to entertain, but fun all the same. He enjoyed trying all of the foods, but stuffing and mandorin oranges were a favorite...until he tried pumpkin pie. What a wonderful time to reflect on all I'm thankful for:


Our Almighty Father that loves us unconditionally!!

A loving, godly husband that is a wonderful example to his son.

My sweet Riley and that God has entrusted us to raise such a sweet boy.

Family that is close by that we are able to spend time with so many generations.

A mother & father who have shown us so much love - such models they are of what marriage is.

Wonderful friends.

A roof over our heads, clean water, food to eat.
A church founded on the love of Jesus Christ.
Being a business owner - a job as a corporate event planner and the ability to work from home.

Being a mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend.


Thank you Lord for the many blessings in our life another year.
