Thankful

Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. You get all the warm, fuzzy feelings as Christmas without all the stress.

As always, I've reflected on what I am thankful for. While the list is too long to list (especially since I am typing one-handed while I hold Lily) I want to list a few of the things that have really stood out this year. First I am thankful for the newest addition to our family- Lily. She is so sweet. I am also thankful for Bridger. He is a wonderful kid. He is very thoughtful and helpful. Derek has been a lifesaver this past year. He has really stepped up and shown what a great person he is. I have had nothing but problems and sickness this past year, Derek has been there for me and our family. He has even been a huge help with Lily. He takes half the night so I can get some sleep.

I am also very grateful for extended family. My in-laws, my mom, and Maridee all came to help with the baby. It really means a lot that I still get support when we are so far away. Having a baby without family around is hard.
