With all of the different things going on right now, Brandon and I weren't able to pull off a big birthday party for Lane, but she had a great birthday with so many people that love her around her all weekend. The Nichols' came to be with us during Thanksgiving, so on Thanksgiving night, we had cup cakes in honor of Lane's 2nd birthday. Whenever she sees cakes, she says, "YAY, Party!"...it's very sweet. Here's a slideshow of the 2 years of Lane...
Although Thanksgiving was very different it was probably the most thankful I've ever been. The past few months have been very hard so I've realized that I'm thankful that today I'm tripping over my children because they need me every minute of the day, because tomorrow, they'll be grown. They are beautiful, healthy, and happy.
I'm thankful for family and health...I never understood when people would say they were thankful for their health....this year, I get it.
Probably something I realized to be thankful for this year is the friends that I know God has placed in my life, "for such a time as this".
Every year, if you ever asked me what I was thankful for, without hesitation, I would say Brandon....that's still the case. Sometimes, hard times strain relationships, but it has only made Brandon and I closer and our marriage stronger. Recently after reviewing our budget and upcoming expenses like Christmas, property taxes, etc, we agreed and we were thankful that all we had to worry about as a couple right now was money...it's probably the least of concerns a couple could have when you really think about it.
