My Thanksgiving

What I am thankful for. My Heavenly Father. I am grateful for how he whispers my potential in my heart and head and reminds me that mother hood is a wonderful gift and to not sweat the small stuff. I love how he helps me be the best mom I can be by prompting me to not push too hard or to push a little harder. My Dev. I am very thankful to have a husband who is not perfect and allows me to not be perfect either. I am thankful for the hard working man that he is. I love watching him be a daddy. I think my love for him has grown in all new ways since the girls came into our family. I love curling up in his arms. I am thankful for our eternal marriage and knowing I am his and he is mine forever. My girls. Mother hood for me has brought on so many more feelings of in adequacy. I know these feelings do not come from a heavenly place which only motivates me further to raise my girls to be beautiful inside and out and to prepare them for there roles as mommy's someday. I love hearing Nola's thoughts. She makes me laugh right out loud at least 20 times a day. Myla is starting to show her personality and doesn't let us forget she is the room as she squeals at us if we don't include her. My Searle's. I have benefited so much from being closer to my family. I am grateful for time spent far away , but I am still so glad they are only a few short hours away anytime I need them. My Simpson's. I am grateful to have married into a family that is so similar to mine in ways of love and support. I am grateful to have a husband working and an roof over my head. A roof that we own. I still pinch myself and say this house is mine. I cannot wait to have our first Christmas in our home. I am grateful to my friends. I have said this before but you have also molded me to be the best wife, mommy, sister, daughter and friend that I can be. Thanks for calling when you do. Sometimes it is the light I need on stressful days.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL. I love you .
