Thankful

I'll admit, I wasn't too thrilled about having a "white" october this year however there are countless other things that have filled my heart with joy this year, here are a few of them;

~I am thankful that God is present and faithful amidst a long and sometimes painful journey. And that my lack of faith does not nullify His greatness and His ability to work in my life~

~I feel so blessed to have the most wonderful, loving, and supportive husband. Daniel, thanks for encouraging me in ever aspect of my life, I am so so thankful I get to grow old with you! I love you, sweetheart!

~I am thankful for family. I feel so blessed for the love and support we have from both sets of parents and for the friendship we have with all of our siblings. I love you all!

~I am so grateful for the opportunities that we have had to grow as a couple and to experience adventures together! Hawaii was wonderful and so full of moments I will cherish forever! Even our small little getaway in the summer and my first NHL game are some of the memories we will be able to look back at and smile!

~I am thankful for good friends and a great church support group!

~I know it's simple and kinda cliche' but I truly am thankful that we have jobs that provide. When you look at well over half of the world's population, poverty is very real, and we are very wealthy. I am thankful I have never had to worry about going to bed hungry or not having a bed at all.

~And, I am thankful that God is good.... all the time.
