1. My husband and my children. Without them every day would be wasted, they keep me grounded and give my life a purpose. I'm not just Amber, I'm Emilio's wife and Liam & Lena's Mama, which is pretty awesome!!
2. I'm thankful for food on the table, a roof over my head, and our new van that gets my family from place to place safely.
3. I'm thankful for the rest of my family, including my sisters. Pretty sure I drive them crazy, but that's what sisters are for!!
4. I'm thankful for the amazing friends God has blessed me with, their unending support, the laughter we've shared, the long chit chats on the phone, and the ability to keep in touch even if they've moved out of state. I love that they love me, and my family. And that their children are built in friends for mine. When my kids were born, they had several friends already!
5. I'm thankful for my cell phone, my computer, and all other social networks that allows me to keep in touch with people I don't get the chance to see every day :)
6. I'm thankful for my husband's job, the benefits we get, and the satisfaction he gets from doing his job!
Okay, so the list could go on and on. These are things I think of on a regular basis, I'm sure I've skipped several important things. But the truth is, I'm so very blessed!! Life presents its daily challenges, but that's what life does. If it were too easy, how boring and imperfect that would be!! Liam and Lena are doing wonderful, they celebrated their 17 month birthday on the 17th, which also was National Prematurity Awareness Day. My preemies are so incredibly not preemies anymore!! And that is one thing I am continuously grateful for!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends and family!! Enjoy your day, it's not about the food and the prep work, it's about seeing those you don't get to see, and sharing stories and jokes you don't get to every day! I love holidays like this. :)
