Lots to be thankful for

We went to Texas this year and had a fabulous time. I always love this time of the year, because it encourages reflection on things for which we are grateful. When I think about all these incredible things I'm humbled and awed. I come from a broken home and grow up with no knowledge of how to have a strong married, yet I could not ask for a better marriage. Not to say we do not have conflict, but we always work it out. We love each other, and are best friends. I have two amazingly beautiful, full of life, determined little ones, who love their mommy so much. I feeling very loved by my sweet little family.

I also have a tremendous extended family that have been there for my Dad, sister and me. My Dad and my sister are the strongest most courageous people I know. I am so blessed to have shared this life with them.

I have phenomenal in-laws. We differ in so many ways, yet they have taught me so much about unconditional love. They've helped me to become more affectionate and modeled service unparalleled.  We always have fun being silly together.

We live in a great community, with amazing schools, people, church, and Cory's awesome job is just around the corner. Our quality of life is very refreshing. We never feel rushed and are able to maintain margin. We've developed super friends, in the short time we've lived here. There are hard days, but because of my awesome Savior I am now able to put things in perspective. I never get too low, a stark contrast to my person before Jesus. Life is not perfect, but I often think please don't pinch me because if this is a dream I don't want to wake up.
