So here it goes.
I Am Thankful For:
My super cute husband who kisses me tenderly each morning before he goes to work. I'm usually still sleeping but he does it anyway and I love him for that!
Being a mom to 6 wonderful, smart, talented and kind girls.
Memories of my Grandma. I miss her so much.
Twilight movies that give my mom a reason to smile and something to look forward to.
Having an older brother who is mysterious and amazing. Definitely the smartest dude I've ever known!
Having a family that believes in loving nicknames. Chacho, Chacha, KarKar, Mac, Binza, JJ, Shla, Emmers, M-bear, among others.
My children's smiles and laughter. Laughter lit up the house last night and I went to bed with a warm and happy heart.
The fact that there are no "steps" in our house. We may be a blended family, but he is their dad and she is my girl. We are not a "step family" We. Are. Family!
My little brother and how hard he has worked to be where he is at today. I am so proud of him for working through his obstacles. He is such a cute dad and my girls' favorite uncle.
Little hands that find their way into mine when we are watching movies. They're never too old to hold their mom's hand.
Hugs and kisses goodnight, and loving goodbyes in the morning as my girls head off to school.
Fantastic friends that keep in touch even after I change jobs.
New job opportunities that teach me that not all bosses are jerks.
A thoughtful husband that sweeps and mops on his day off so that I freak out a little less over the dogs in the house.
The holidays that make my children's eyes glow with excitement.. not because of gifts, but because they love sharing surprises and spending time together.
Singing Christmas songs with my girls, in the car, as the snow falls.
Seeing my husband's huge smile as he escorts his little girl to our waiting vehicle at the airport. We are so happy that she is back with us for the holiday!
Plans to decorate the "whimsical" tree before Thanksgiving so that the whole family can participate.
Finding out that there will be at least one more trip to the mountains to cut Christmas trees at the Robinson tree farm. We don't need a tree, but we need that time to create life-long memories of family and togetherness. It hurts my heart to think about how different it will be this year.. I know what we will all be thinking, but I also know that if she is able, Grandma will look down on us and smile.
"See ya, Babe." "Bye Punkin, I love you. " "I love you too."
Yuffas and all that they imply.
Blogs that give us an outlet to share our thoughts, dreams and moments. An electronic snapshot of our lives.
To my family: Thank you for giving me purpose and direction. Everything I do is for you and because of you. You are my heart and my soul.. I can only hope that I am able to give you a fraction of the love, strength and happiness that you have given me.
