I'm thankful for...

FRIENDS! Chris and I are so blessed to have the friends that God has put into our lives. I can remember about 4 years ago praying that God would send me some "best" friends. Someone that I could call at any time for any reason, show up unannounced and know that no matter what, we would always be friends. God has put those kind of people in my life. We know that in the lowest of the lows or the highest of the highs, our friends will always support us and love us. They are funny, compassionate, caring, generous and just plain cool! To our friends - WE LOVE YOU!

I CANNOT believe how fast time is going by! It's already THANKSGIVING! The past few months have been extremely busy for us. First, both of my boys broke their left legs within one week of each other. That was quite an experience!! Second, I thought I was going back to school to be a nurse, but after three weeks of class I realized how much I love being a stay-at-home mom. The bottom line was that my little ones aren't going to be little for long and I didn't want to look back in a few years and regret being away from them. Anyway, I dropped my classes and love taking care of my kids everyday. I still have moments that I want to pull all my hair out, but I'll take that any day over being away from my kids if I don't have to. I wondered why God worked out all the details for school, only to have me quit 3 weeks into it. But, I truly believe that he wanted me to realize how much of a blessing my children are.
