Thankful

It’s Thanksgiving and to say I have a lot to be thankful for would be an understatement. I often wonder how I managed to be so blessed. I am surrounded by amazing people. I married the greatest man on this planet and he puts up with all my shenanigans. I have parents who love me beyond measure and aren’t afraid to show it. I have friends that are supportive, caring and all around fun!

And if all that weren’t enough we have a baby on the way! I feel blessed that this beautiful baby will be in mine and Chad’s life in 7 months. I am so excited to be a mom and watch my child grow. I am certain that there will be challenges and hardships along the way, but I know our support system will help us through anything.

I know there I times I complain about my job, Chad’s job or that I don’t have enough money for all the things I want, but the simple truth is that I am blessed beyond measure and I am so thankful for that.

I want to give a shout out to those people who I am especially thankful for:

-My Husband Chad—I couldn’t get through the day without him. His constant support, understanding, patience and attention hold me together.

-My Mom Yvonne—She inspires me to be a better person and has been the greatest example of a wonderful mother.

-My Dad Ray—His passion and enthusiasm are unparalleled; he proves that a fathers love is unwavering and beyond measure.

-My Dear Dear Friend Abby Reed—We share more than just a last name. Her ability to “get me” is priceless and her support is undeniable.

-Chad’s Family—For never making me feel like an in-law.

-My Dear Dear Friend Kenna Stevens—Who inspires me to take risks and dare to be extraordinary.

-My Grandparents—Who obviously did something right because they have wonderful sons/daughters and grandchildren.

-My Dog Buster—Who teaches me to never take myself too seriously and to always savor every hug and every kiss.
