Give Thanks

Well thanksgiving is in 2 days and I can't wait. I am hosting 12 people including Jimmy and myself and am so excited to spend the day with those I love! I just hope they aren't confused what holiday it is with my Christmas décor.

I turned 31 yesterday and had a wonderful day. My best friend Kara threw a "Viking/Packer, Housewarming, Diaper, Ryan & Kristin's birthday" party on Sunday. Yes - the party was really for all those occasions. Any and every reason to celebrate! Kara made a cake for me and her husband Ryan and it really blessed me. She went above and beyond to make me feel special and having friends spend the afternoon with me was so much fun! I am so thankful for her! It was the perfect day! And to top if off, Jimmy bought me a new purse. I love it!

I have seen so many posts on Facebook with people saying what they are thankful for in the month of November. There are so many things I am thankful for and sometimes I feel selfish that I concentrate on the negative when there is SO many things God has blessed Jimmy and I with.

So today my blog is dedicated to giving THANKS for...

1. My amazing husband. He is my best friend and the love of my life!
2. My wonderful family - I am so lucky I have them - they do SO much for me and are great examples in my life.
3. Fantastic friends who are all like family and sisters to me.
4. My house - I am so blessed to live in a home that is quaint and perfect for me and Jimmy.
5. My Kids - Koby & Zoe. I can't imagine life without them. They are my babies and bring us so much laughter and joy!
6. My Lord and Savior - where would we be without him? Truly!
7. Seasons - did I mention I love Christmas? Happy to live in a state where I can experience it all!
8. My job. I have an amazing boss who gave me the job of my dreams and the ability to work at home. This year was a turning point for me in my career and I am so grateful!
9. My health - although I have struggled with fertility, in the scheme of things God has a plan and I am happy to be healthy!
10. Music! It really lifts my spirits up and puts a smile on my face! Thanks Alyssa for my new Elf CD for my birthday - I have listened too much already! :)
11. For all the weddings I was able to attend and be a part of.  What an amazing honor and what awesome memories I have made!

I could honestly keep going but will end by saying thank you for all that read my blog! I hope you have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving!

Love,
Kristin
