I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I sure did! It was one to remember (and definitely one to scrap about! ☺). These people are the reason why is was so memorable:

(not naming names 'cause we've got some underage kiddos there, but you all know who you are!)
I am so thankful my best friend of 30 years (this month!) and her family made the trip from Virginia to Texas. It was an amazing week of long talks, laughter, shopping, staying up late, eating yummy food, reminiscing and being goofy. My daughter mentioned that she doesn't see me act this way very often. I need to remember to let loose a little with my kiddos. It's so easy to do with my best friend, because we are friends, but then I put on my mom face and become mom and it's harder to let loose and be goofy.
Sometimes when life gets rough, it's hard to remember all of my many blessings and so I am so thankful for this time of year when I can remember my blessings. I am going to strive to remember them throughout the year and be more thankful.
I am thankful for my family, my friends, my home, my husband's job, my new opportunity to go to school and finish my degree, my dogs, food to feed my family and clothes to clothe them, my faith and belief in God and miracles, my health, internet access - which makes it so easy to keep in touch with friends and family, my new digital camera ;), my creativity, and so many, many more.
