Happy Thanksgiving

Cole decorated Daddy!

I LOVE THANKSGIVING DAY!

There's just something about waking up that morning, knowing with everything in you that you plan on stuffing your face ALL day, and it's okay! For Eric and I, we get to enjoy this feast twice; once at his Mimi's and then at my mom and dad's....it's fantastic. Of course, you feel like crap at the end of the night from all the food you've eaten, but it's so worth it.

But it's not just the food that makes me excited. It's the fact that I know I am so incredibly blessed, and I am very thankful to God for everything He has given me. First of all, I am thankful for this life. God loves me, no matter what. Even when I fall off His path, He still loves me. I am saved through His mercy, and that is what I am most thankful for. Secondly, my husband Eric. We have been together 8 1/2 years, 5 of those we've been married. I don't even remember myself without him, and I think that's because I never really knew who I was until I started dating Eric. He makes me so happy, takes care of me, and loves me unconditionally. We also have been blessed with 2 of the most precious gifts in the world; Cole and Raleigh. My children are everything to me. They are the sunshine in mine and Eric's lives. You can't even imagine what love is until you have children. It's so raw, so powerful, so emotional. I love them more than I could ever describe.

We also have two amazing families, and a lot of wonderful friends.

We truly have everything we need, and then some.

We are BLESSED!

Thank you, Lord, for everything you've given me. I am so thankful on this Thanksgiving Day, and everyday.
