Happy Early Thanksgiving!

Thought a quick blog was in order. Well, Thanksgiving is here... I can't believe it but I am ready for the holidays this year. We even put up out Christmas decorations yesterday and got our tree up... though we won't decorate it until Friday. We were going to wait on the tree but TJ was so pumped that he pulled that 100 lb tree out of the crawl space and to the bottom of the stairs. He can be one determined little boy, now if only we can focus that determination in a positive way. : ) We decided to give in and put that darn tree up. Now if only we can have him wait until Friday for the decorations.. "patience" is not him. Tonight Nate and I have a date night (dinner and games with friends) and tomorrow I will be doing a 5k Turkey Trot and then we trot over to my In-Laws for the Turkey. My Mother-n-law is one of the best cooks around so I am salivating just thinking of the food. YUM! Friday will be spent cleaning and organizing the house. I start my Daycare venture on Monday and I am trying to make sure I am ready to have 5 active kids from 7:30-5:30. I know that isn't much more than some of you have on a daily basis but it will be new for me. I think we'll do good together, if anything I might try to do to much. With my "A" personality and my "everything has to be perfect" trait, I can very easily over do it. LOL!
Well it wouldn't be right unless I took a moment to write a few things down that I am truly grateful for, so here I go:
• My husband, who supports and loves me no matter what. Who shows me by his example what a Disciple of Christ should be.
• My Heavenly Father who guides me when all earthly wisdom is unable to help or comfort.
• Jesus Christ for his atonement, so that I can be forgiven of all my imperfections
• My Parents, for my Dad and his example of what a man should be and for my Mother, who thankfully I turned out to be just like.
• Taylor, who keeps me on my toes and has me rethinking how to parent on a daily basis but who is so smart and funny. He really is so fun to talk to and play with. I think he'll be a great joy to us and others.
• Frederick, who I don't get to raise in this life time but who is my son all the same.
• Lee, who seems so reserved and curious all at the same time. He shows such a quiet intenseness, I hope we can guide him to seek out the good things in life.
• My friends from all stages of my life, I appreciate how they teach me by their example.
• My Grandparents and Nathan's Grandparents, they have so much love and wisdom to share.
• My husband's job, especially during these economic times.
• A lovely WARM house to raise my family in.
• $1.53 gas. WAHOO!
• My mind, though guilty of turning off at times, is smart and with the Lord's help can solve any problem.
• My body, I still have a bum foot but we get by and mostly I am able to do all that I desire to do.
You know I could go on all day but I guess it boils down to this: I AM BLESSED and VERY THANKFUL. Thank you to you, my friends and family, for being there with me along life's journey. I love you all. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
