So Thankful

A house full of wrestling kiddos! We're so lucky!!!

Yes are family is full of nuts!

Thanksgiving was such a wonderful day! A day filled with love and emotion. I have so many things to be thankful for and this year I especially took the time this year to really think about all of them!! It's so easy to forget all of things that are good in our lives, this is a perfect time to reflect on those.

I'm so thankful for my loving husband who has stuck by my side through some very rough times this past year. My two amazing children who are well just amazing;) My parents who have been my rock! My sister and her wonderful family that I love so much. Health. Warmth. Jobs. Our home. Brad's parents that are so very supportive and loving. Brad's sister and brother in law that bring us so much laughter and unconditional love. My wonderful friends and the list goes on and on.

This year I'm especially thankful for the chance to spend time with my grandfather. Our relationship in the past has been very strained. As I explained to the kids this past week. That we all make choices and sometimes those choices aren't good ones and are ones that can strain relationships. But we must always remember that the Lord forgives us for our mistakes and us as people must do the same and make peace. That is exactly what I did this week. I made peace with the past and had a wonderful day with my grandfather. My heart aches knowing that this very well could of been the last time I see him. What I do know is that I love my grandfather and my grandfather loves me and the past is the past!
