{Give Thanks}

It has been a LONG time since I have posted. I have let life get in the way. This year has been a huge year for us allot has changed. We have many things to be thankful for this year.

Mike turned 5!!.....
This time last year Mike was barley saying 5 words now we can't get him to stop talking, this is such a blessing. He has gone from a boy who is frustrated to a boy who can now tell us what is on his mind. This has helped reduce his frustration SO much. He is in his last year of preschool. I can't believe how time has flown by.

Maddy turned 15 {almost 16}.....
She is such a beautiful young woman now. I love our time together and they many talks that we are able to share. I am so thankful that we have such a close relationship that she can talk to me about everything. She is in her sophomore year and doing very well as always.

I lost my job.....
I know your saying to yourself, How can she be thankful? Well after 10 years my job was taking it's tole on my emotionally and so now I am able to focus on my family and now I am going to school. This has been a blessing beyond words.

Al is still plugging away.....
Oh what to say about my Al the love of my life my center. He works soo very hard to provide for his family. He is a true man. He doesn't stop working even when his work day is over, he comes home and focuses on our little family. We love him soo very much.

All in all ups and downs this has been an excellent year and we are sooo incredibly thankful for each other, our health, our family and friends.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope you can to find all the things in your lives to be thankful for.
