Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and as I get ready to clean my kitchen before the pumpkin cookie baking warfare begins, I thought I'd take a moment to think about the things I am thankful for...

Today, I am thankful for...

1. First and foremost, that the miracle of making a child finally happened for Nathan and I, and that this will be the last Thanksgiving for us without Miss Rylee tagging along.

2. My husband, for putting up with me when I am impossible to deal with, and for continuing to love me even when I am downright mean and unloving toward him.

3. My Mom, for being my best friend and for putting everyone else before herself.

4. My G-Ma, who defies the odds every day by staying as healthy as possible and fighting her cancer with all of her strength.

5. My friends, for listening to me babble on and on about the baby like a self-centered fool even though you have many important things going on in your lives as well.

6. My fantastic job that I love.

7. Being financially stable and being able to save for our future.

8. New Moon (I know, not appropriate, but I had to slip some humor in here)

9. Finally, I am thankful for every memory I have of all the previous Thanksgivings my family has been able to celebrate together.

Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone!

Wish I could be there, I really do tomorrow. Maybe you all can bring that thanksgiving book to Myrtle Beach and I can catch up on what everyone wrote the past years?? Or if you all do the writing, save a spot and I'll fill in at Christmas. Have a good one and eat mucho food for me. We will be going to Jason's cousin/aunts house on his mother's side, then on the way home Sat/Sun we will be seeing his father's side of the family. Really sucks his parents don't want anything to do with us, but its their loss---not ours. there will be a TON of food though, soul food as they call it :)
