{thankful}

happy thanksgiving everyone! today i am thankful for an endless amount of things...God is so good and we are blessed beyond belief!

a few things i am especially thankful for today:

 

 

• God's love and my faith i have in Him
• my husband, he is my best friend-but drives me crazy at the same time (pregnancy hormones probably don't help!), but keeps me grounded and i love him with all my heart!
• my sweet ian christopher-he keeps me on my toes with how much he is able to learn, his tantrums, his sweetness, his compassionate heart, his love cecilia (& anna), his fiestyness (it's a word), those big blue eyes, and so much more!
• my adorable cecilia jo. she has a spark that i've never seen and a personality that cannot be matched. i love her sense of humor, her love & adoration for her big brother, her anticipation to meet baby anna, her social abilities, her cautiousness, her knowledge, and how much she loves her mommy :)
• baby anna. i am thankful that God gave her to our family and can't wait to meet her, although i will miss her constant kicks and flips!
• my family back home in texas. we are so blessed to have them able and willing to come visit as often as they do. all of my siblings have been able to make a trip here, and that means the world to us! we miss everyone like crazy and would be nowhere without their love and support.
• justin's family. they raised and helped create the amazing person he is today. they are there for us when we need them (like to remind me how to cook the turkey! ;) ) they are a strong support system and we will be forever grateful for everything each of them and brought to our family!
• my friends. here and from back home. i am blessed to have so many friends that i call 'close' although we go way too long without talking sometimes...we have the ability to pick right back up where we left off, and with no hard feelings. for that, i am thankful.
• justin's job-he loves it and i am able to stay at home and have the job of my dreams as well.
• babies and health! i have so many special people in my life who are blessed to be pregnant right now. and so many of my own loved ones and loved ones of others who have had a difficult year with their health and are stable, improving, or healed. thank God for that!
• grandparents, great grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends and other 'family' who are always rooting us on no matter what.

and so much more (i only have a small amount of time to do this before the kids realize i'm doing it!!!)

 

oh and happy anniversary to my incredible parents-i love you both so much!!!!!!!!
