I am THANKFUL for so many things in my life. Here are just a few....
My husband. He is my best friend. I can tell him anything and enjoy every evening I have with him after Caleb is tucked tightly in bed. We laugh, watch TV and talk about our days. I am thankful for him and this time together. I am also thankful that most nights my wonderful husband cooks me dinner. He loves to cook and I love to eat.
I am thankful for Caleb. God gave me the most precious little boy. He is healthy, happy, and makes my day with each hug and kiss. I love being his momma and hope each day that he loves being my son. He is mischievous and proving to be 100% boy each day. As a first time MOM I am learning as I go but just pray I am doing the best job I can. I am thankful for our nightly book readings and singing of "Hush Little Baby." Our bonding time is so important to me.
I am thankful for my dog Lexi. She has taken a backseat to Caleb since he was born but I try to spend time each day just loving on her. I am thankful that Lexi is gentle with Caleb even when he is not gentle with her.
I am thankful for my house. I am trying to sell it BUT it will always be my first home. The home I share with my wonderful husband, the home I brought Caleb home from the hospital to. It keeps me warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Plus I have an amazing closet that I will miss when I move some day.
I am thankful for my supportive parents who love me unconditionally. They have taught me so much and I work hard to make them proud of who I have become. I am thankful that they are such loving grandparents. I know they wish we lived closer so they could see him more often but they always make the most of each visit with Caleb.
I am thankful for my two sisters. I love being the middle child. I am thankful that my little sister lives close by so I always feel like I have family close by. Even though we might not always get along, I know my sisters are always there for me when I need them.
I am thankful for all my friends. It is nice to know your friends are there for you when you need a shoulder to cry on or support you when you are going crazy planning your sons first birthday because everything MUST be perfect for him. I don't see all my friends as often as I wish I did but I know that even after a month or two apart, we can pick up right where we left off.
I am thankful for my relationship with God. Even though it sometimes is hard to get motivated on a Sunday morning, I really enjoy going to church/sunday school each week and celebrating God with my church community. I thank God each day for all my blessings.
I am thankful for my iPhone. I would be lost without it.
I am thankful for my treadmill. It makes getting on and getting a quick workout SO much easier.
I am thankful for my "nice" camera. I love capturing Caleb's every moment and love having the perfect camera to do so.
I am thankful for my squishy pillow. It is old and has two pillow covers on it and then a pillow case but I sleep better when I have it and truly believe it has healing powers when I am not feeling well.
I am thankful for high heels and the ability to walk in them. If you see me Mon-Fri you will most likely see me in taller than tall heels. They make me feel powerful.
Oh and of course I am thankful for mashed potatoes ... I can't wait to eat them tomorrow at Thanksgiving lunch. Yum-O!
