Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year~ This was Matt and I's first Thanksgiving to be in Ohio, away from Memphis. He only had 2 days off, so we knew it would be best if we stayed here in Ohio. Matt's parents, and his sister's family came to us..which was great! We were super excited to see them, since the last time was last Christmas, and to see the girls play together. ( they have a little girl, Elise that is two days younger than Presley) We stayed entertained, watching the two of them. Presley was excited from the moment they walked in the door, showing her all of her toys..Let's just say she was all smiles! It was so sweet to see her being so kind, it is something that I pray for her.. that she continues to show kindness to others, and put them first.
We had a great dinner, we got a Honeybaked Ham ( THE BEST) and a turkey from HBH.. then we made several casseroles..well, I assisted, along with Granddad. We had plenty, and it was kindof nice to be able to stay at home, and just enjoy the holiday. I really enjoy to cook, and I hope to one day take the entire thing on, like my mom, or grandmother...Hopefully, it will be a long time from now.. but, I truely enjoy it! :) I really think I was cut out for homemaking, and so blessed I get to be with sweet Presley..can't dream of any better job..so THANKFUL!!
I took some pictures with my little camera.. of the girls playing..and of course, Dora the Explorer was a must for P that night! I think that would be what she is thankful for at the moment! lol
I on the other hand, and thankful for many things.. Very thankful for my parents on many regards, but, mostly for not just taking me to church, but, teaching me what a Godly life should be, a true relationship with Jesus, and always striving to put him 1st~I pray we can be the same parents for P, of course my sweet husband..we have been together total of 10 years in April ( dating+marriage) and i can't imagine life without him!, also my all of my extended family, I really have the BEST, and all of my great friends.. I have 3 I count as BEST.. Paige, who has been in my life since the 6th grade..my nurturing friend who is always levelheaded..and loves me for me, love her! Court, my sweet friend, who I share everything with, have been through so much with, and love to pieces, and Laura, who is my deep, loyal, and fun friend who I always have fun with, regardless the situation..we laugh!
I am also thankful for God bringing us to Ohio, as hard as it was and can still be, I know we are where He wants us, and am thankful for Matt's career with Carmax.
I am blessed.
Can't imagine life any other way.
