Giving Thanks...

Well, it's that time of year. Thanksgiving. I love this time of year. So do my kids because they know once Thanksgiving is over, next is the BIG ONE: Christmas. They are already praying that they will get a certain toy. Oh, dear. This year has been a year of transition for us and has been rough, but also many great things have happened. Sasha got baptized. How thankful I am that my dear, sweet husband was worthy to baptize her. We started another year of homeschool and I love it. Seth started Kindergarten and he is already smarter than me. Seriously. Addie has stopped saying "hate" so much and that is something to be thankful for! LOL. We are having a baby girl, who we will name Audrey, around Valentines Day. I am thankful for every kick I feel. The other morning, very early, I woke up just wanting to know she was ok. My mind began to worry and fret when I didn't feel her for longer than I would have liked. When she finally did give me a little kick, I felt so thankful. What a joy this baby girl will be. I am not sure why we are getting her, when it could have gone the other way, but I am so thankful. What a bright spot she will be to our little family. I am thankful for this ward. AMAZING. Generous. LOVE it. I love the YW and serve with the most amazing women. One even wears a rockin' white mumu.......love her to pieces. I am thankful for our prophet and for general conference. I have been reading the talks lately and it has helped me so much. Love them. Well, I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know we will.

p.s.
Are you going shopping on Black Friday?? Me, not sure. Did last year......just for fun......

First of all, doing my shopping today cause I'm scared to death that the things on the list won't be there after "Black Friday...", second of all.....mu-mu's do rock! Thirdly.....I'm SO thrilled for your little family to have a wonderful happy ending to an incredibly rough 4 years....can't wait to meet her! You have to promise to let me hold her and squeeze her bum all I want! And 4th, but definitely not least....I'm grateful for you! Thank you for being there for me through some of the most trying times I have experienced in my life this year! You are an amazing example and friend to me! The Lord knew I needed you....how grateful I am he sent you! Love ya! Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy!!
