I'm Thankful for...

This year, I am so thankful for:

- a God that has blessed me beyond belief...words can't even begin to explain how I love my life and how grateful I am for each day I have!

- my marriage to such a wonderful man. I've always loved him, but there's a whole new dimension to that love now that I get to watch him be a Daddy.

- my perfect, precious Avery Claire. I could never attempt to put into words how much I love this baby girl. I never knew my love for her would be so overwhelming and awesome.

- our family. We truly have the best parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts & uncles, cousins we could ever ask for...I love how much they love us, but I love even more how much they love our little girl.

- friends that we consider family and know that we could call anytime, for anything.

- our first child. He's had such a big adjustment to make this year, and he's been such a champ about it!

- a job that I enjoy. Some days are stressful and I feel like I don't get much across. But I love the girls I work with. And when my kids leave my room and yell back "I love you, Mrs. Davis," it really doesn't matter how much they heard me say that day.

- a place that I can leave Avery Claire every day and know that she is safe and well taken care of. That's such an comfort!

- the men and women that are fighting for our freedom and the freedom of others.

- the spouses of those men and women. How hard must their day-to-day lives be as single parents worrying about the safety of their partner!

I could go on and on and on...I'm such a lucky girl, and I feel so blessed every single day of my life.
