What are YOU Thankful for?

What are you thankful for today? Are you Thankful for your family, your health, family or friends? I am thankful for all of the above. I am especially thankful to have my husband home with me this year to celebrate Thanksgiving. Last year, our first year of marriage, we had to do it on opposite sides of the world. This year, Brad decided he wanted to make the turkey and I'll do everything else.

We are thankful to just be together on this day of Thanks. I'm thankful for our health, the fact that I have a job, we have a roof over our head. I am thankful that we have each other and get to spend the rest of our lives together. I think we are both thankful for our wonderful parents that raised us with great values and standards.

I know that Brad is thankful that he is home this year and not eating thanksgiving dinner out of a styrafoam box and then working a 12 hour shift. I am thankful that he is home to spend it with me. Its amazing how fast a year can go by. This time last year, I was at a cabin with 3 other army ladies and we were having a great time. I am no longer friends with one of them, the other one has since had her son who turns 6 months today and Debbie is hosting her first thanksgiving at her house!

There is lots to be thankful for today . . . . :-)
