Give Thanks

This year I have so much to be thankful for.

Since Cheyanne and I are heading to North Carolina to spend Thanksgiving with the Giant's family, I wanted to send out an early Happy Thanksgiving message.

Most of all this year, I want to thank certain people in my life only after I thank God for placing them here.

I am beyond thankful for my family. I could not have gotten through the year without each and every one of you. You sent me your love, your prayers, and your support during what feels like the longest year of my life. The Giant and I are so grateful to have such a strong family around us. God knew exactly what he was doing when he put us all together.

My parents took me and my daughter in when we needed a place to stay.

My sister who has listened for hours on end to me yapping or sulking about whatever was running through my head each and every day.

My grandparents for helping spoil my daughter to no end while living back at home when we both needed a little extra spoiling.


My Aunt Jennie for being a constant cheerleader and continuing to uplift both the Giant and I with the kindest words. My cousins for never failing to make me laugh, even on days that I didn't think I could.

My in-laws for helping bring my small family together even if only for a few days of leave, as we had gone months on our own. My mother-in-law specifically for always being willing to help wherever she can.

The Giant's grandparents for showing unconditional love and pride in us.

My best friend Cara for loving me despite myself and remaining one of my closest confidants for oooohhh so many years. I love you always dear friend, you might as well be family.

I could list out so many others of you, but frankly, I don't think blogspot has enough room for that post. So instead, I just want to say a BIG thank you to you. Thank you reader. Thank you follower. Thank you friend. 

And last but not obviously not least, it goes without saying (but of course I will say it anyways), I am thankful for my Husband. My Love, I am not complete without you. You are my everything. I am a wife before all else. You brighten each of my days, whether you are here or not. You simply being in my life makes my life better. I am most thankful for you. Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed and your heart does not go unmatched. One of these days, we'll be able to celebrate Thanksgiving together. What a day of thanks that will be!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

  3. good call. And mahoney, thanks for being the newest member of our family and.....um....hmm....well....let me think ;) thanks for loving us (which of course I mean Cheyanne) because we (which of course I mean me) love you so much. I am very thankful for you in our life. Truly.
    And, I'm going to ignore the sister comment 'stache. I may not know where you sleep but my husband does. how's Janet?

    And for others reading this comment, you can guess that mahoney would be one of my Mikes away right now. God love him. :)
