Thankful

I've got so much to be thankful for. Really. Here are just a few:

• Husband: He's truly the best. He works hard everyday, comes home and loves on us, and even puts up with my weenie-whining. He's my rock and my BFF. (He'd hate it if he knew I said it like that!)
  
• Baby boy: This kid brings me so much joy. He's so happy, and lovey. When Nate and I walk into the room, his face just lights up. It's nice to be so loved.
• Home: I love our little dump. It's not perfect, but it's got personality and it's ours.
• Family: If you don't know our families, you should. They're great.
• Jobs: With so many people out of work these days, I'm more and more thankful that we have good jobs. And we even enjoy them!
• Third graders: They completely drive me crazy sometimes but I love them. One of them thanked me for "being the best teacher in the whole school" the other day. Can you say, "Aaaawwwww"?
• Friends: I don't get to see most of them very often but they are some of my best blessings. 
• Sleeping baby: Did I mention he put himself to sleep tonight? Love that!
• Me-time: I actually had time to paint my toenails!
• Savior: None of the above would be possible without His grace and love. He gives me so much more than I deserve and loves me as no one else can.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and I hope you're looking forward to a blessing-filled Christmas. I know I am!
