Counting Blessings

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! It is such a special holiday and a good time to remember how blessed we are. Thomas and I always list what we are thankful for while we drive up to his grandparents house for lunch. That is our tradition every year since we have started spending Thanksgiving together. We are going to spend Thanksgiving at his grandparents house as usual. I am so lucky to be marrying into a family that already loves me like one of their own. They have always been so welcoming to me and my family. My mother and I always spend Thanksgiving with his family because my brothers are grown, have families, or far away. It is a really nice tradition to have both Thomas' and my families together for the holiday! In honor of Thanksgiving, here are a few things I am thankful for.

• Jesus Christ and that I grew up in a home that taught me about Jesus' love for me and the way to Heaven is through him
• my family
• my friends...my blog friends included!
• my future husband
• his wonderful family...my soon to be new family members
• my puppy Lucky and all the other animals I get to spend time with: Ashton's dog Chloe, my family's dog Chico, my family's cat Jake, and Thomas' family's dog Katie
• my country
• my school and that I have the opportunity to further my education
• my job
• my health
• and a few sillys! Lilly Pulitzer, Black Friday Shopping, Motrin which is making my toe feel tons better, and the macaroni & cheese I am going to eat tomorrow!
• and so many other important things I can't even think of now, but I am so so so blessed!
