Thankful...

I have been thinking a lot lately about what I am thankful for and to be quite honest I don't even know where to begin...

This year I am thankful for...

My growing Faith

My wonderful, supportive, gorgeous husband

Our 4 beautiful and healthy children

That Aaron calls me Momma and wants me to cuddle him every night

That Adrian looks more like Alex and the way Aaron loves him

That Andy & Ashley love me and I love them-A LOT

That Andy's laugh is embarassingly annoying

That Ashley can talk to me

My Mom and John for their love and support. I am not sure where we would be without it

The way my Dad looks at the boys like he could burst at any moment

That my in-laws are wonderful and love me

My rock star, courageous, amazing and HAPPY sister

Our small group and the way it is growing

My friends

That Missy & Colleen have been in my life more years that I care to count

That I met Elisa on January 2, 2001

For Beth growing our personal friendship and our families together

For Dan and Collin and all of their love

That I worry about Dan

That Collin is beyond strange

That Abbie is still here even though I try to get rid of her

That I still have hope that Alex will buy me a push present someday (maybe with #3)

For CLOGGING!!!

That we are blessed with Katie Banghoff in our life

That we have a beautiful home filled with love

I can cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for my family

We are able to turn on the heat when we need to

That we have clothes and water and vehicles

That I finally have the courage to pray out loud at night with Alex

For our Sunday School kids

That we have kind of adopted Sam and Allison

That our friend Gallagher is in a good place

That if we ever have a little girl we have a name picked out-Anna Kristen

There is hope that if we have another boy his middle name with be Calixto after Abu (my wish)

That my Grandparents were the BEST in the world without a shodow of a doubt

That I waited until I truly felt I found "the one" before I got married

That I have ten phone numbers in my Verizon account that count as phone to phone minutes

That Aaron is majorly loving

That Steve and Angie are trying for a baby

That we have Denise who I will always swear was my biggest prayer answered

I have been successful at not spending money on anything but groceries for over a month

That I have been given the opportunity to pursue my dream

For Adrian being a happy baby

That Aaron likes to take medicine and is not afraid of the doctor

That my husband tolerates me

That my Mom lives around the corner

That we continue to be blessed with a growing church family

That the Melendez family is joining us again for Christmas Eve

That my whole family LOVES the Monster Trucks

That Missy never forgets anything going on in my life and I can share anything with her

That I am learning to adapt to having less stuff

That Heidi is having a healthy pregnancy

That the kids will be here for Christmas this year

For the fact that my sister plans to move back home

That Alex is my husband

Ahhh! I could go on and on forever and I may continue to add to the list but for now...
