Thankful

We have so much to be thankful for! We have been a little frustrated with where life has us right now. If we had our choice, we certainly wouldn't be "temporarily" living in New Mexico, hundreds of miles away from Guy and Jaedyn, and the rest of our family and friends!! We had the "perfect" holiday season planned out, and for the first time in our marriage, all the parties fell on days where we could make EVERY member of the family happy!!! Then, the government stepped in and mandated us out here, making NONE of those plans possible!!!!

So, needless to say, we have both been a little bitter, and disappointed since we have been out here, and look toward these holidays with a little disappointment.

However, I have to sit here and take inventory of all the things we have to be Thankful for despite our physical location!!!
- 11 1/2 amazing months with our wonderfully healthy and perfect little boy!!
- This is Wesleigh's first Thanksgiving!!!
- Guy and Jaedyn's health and every moment we get to spend with them!!
- Ethan, sweet little Ethan!!! To be blessed with another wonderful, healthy baby boy! The days until we get to meet him are flying by! We will get to lay eyes on his beautiful face so soon!!
- Amazing extended families!!! Both sets of our parents are ALWAYS there for us, to support us regardless of the circumstances!! Although both of us have grandparents whose health is slipping away, we are thankful for every day they are with us, and we look forward to every minute we will get to spend with them in the future!!
- Although it is tough sometimes, the bills always seem to be paid!
- Our church family and friends in Del Rio. We miss y'all terribly and look forward to returning home so that we can rejoin the fellowship that means so much to us!

The list could thankfully go on for days and days and days! We are so blessed and we need to take the time more often sit and obserb the many many blessings and things we have to be thankful for!!

We love each of you and are thankful to have you in our lives!!
