Post Thanksgiving

William and I survived our first married Thanksgiving! We had our private dinner (doesn't that sound better, than our dinner alone?), then we got to stretch the holiday out to a weekend event. We drove to Dallas Friday night, Saturday had lunch with my sisters and brother-in-laws, and Sunday we had a full Thanksgiving lunch with William's family. It was awesome! I am so grateful that our families worked out special time for everyone to get together, it really is wonderful to have that fellowship.

Since I am on my grateful/thankful thoughts...here are mine for Thanksgiving:

1. William- The love of my life, who supports me in every way. I am so blessed to have him and so grateful for the ways he loves me and provides for me.

2. My family-My new extended family included! I am so thankful for the ways they love me and have cared for me. I am also thankful for the acceptance and love of my new family.

3. My friends-The ones in DFW and the new ones I am meeting here. God has placed so many people in my life who mean so much to me. Thank you all for your friendship!

4. God- I am in awe of the awesome ways God has worked in my life, how every trial has brought me closer to Him and how it is all in His plan. I am grateful for His mercy, love and the freedom we have to worship Him. Thank you God for having mercy on me, the sinner.

5. You- Thank you for reading our blog! It means a lot to know that people take the time to keep up with our lives.
