Hello everyone!  I hope you are all enjoying this nice long Thanksgiving holiday.  The time to reflect on how God has blessed us.  I am truly thankful for all the blessings God has given me and my family.  We have a wonderful family, the best friend's anyone could ask for, and God has provided us with all the material possessions we need to make our live enjoyable.  We aren't rich monetary wise, by any means.  In fact, we do without a lot of things in order for me to stay home for our kids.....but the ability to do that is worth thousands of dollars more than any amount of money an outside job could offer.  I guess that is what I am thankful for the most......the ability to stay home with and for my kids...they know that I will always be there for them....they will have those memories of me that I had of my mom; but unfortunately that my hubby didn't have of his mom.  She worked full time, so did his dad, so he never had that stability that a SAHM offers the family.  Of course I understand that some mom's--ie single moms, etc. have to work outside of the home and do not have a choice about it.  I praise those moms because that is hard work.  It is hard enough being a mom, but to be an outside the house working mom in addition....may God bless you that have to do that.

We didn't get to see our families this Thanksgiving being in the AF and it being a distance to drive.....but we spent Thanksgiving with some new friends that invited us over, and we had each other...just the 4 of us.  And in the end, that is what matters most.

God bless all of you!!!  I'd love to hear about your Thanksgiving.
