What a great day! We are so happy to have Amy, Dave and their girlies here....Thanksgiving is so much better with family. In light of today....
10 things I am THANKFUL for:
10. A home that is mine and full of all the things that make it warm, inviting and comfortable. Mr. Williamson's special touches make it that much more special.
9. A job- right now, we are thankful that people want to go to school and that in January I still have a place of employment.
8. Family- we couldn't be more blessed. It is funny, as you age, your definition of family expands, changes and soon encompasses people that, by DNA, aren't relation, but you can't image your existence without.
7. A functioning body- I got up and went for a run this morning. How thankful I am for legs that propel me. I am grateful for my eyes to see the darling creation known as Mckinley. I am thankful for my sense of smell and taste and that I can enjoy all the pies, rolls and pit turkey I can handle.
6. The Gospel- there is no comparison to a testimony of knowing where I came from, where I am going and that I have a constant support system throughout my life. I am grateful that I KNOW I can be with my family forever. I KNOW that prayer is a real, tangible communion with God and I KNOW that the Savior died for me. He knows me personally, individually and loves me.
5. The gift of creativity- in no way should be this be construed as boasting :) I truly love to make things with my hands. The new thing are bows for Mckinley...man, who would have thought they were so easy! :)
4. Technology- web cams for the grandparents...truly amazing.
3. Mark Steven- my friend, companion and soul mate. I can't wait for eternity!
2. Mckinley- what a miracle. I can't look at her and not think about how lucky we are to have her here (FINALLY!!). Such a sweet angel from heaven that brings such a peaceful spirit to our home. I can't wait to see all the accomplishments she will have and to watch her learn and grow.
1. Lastly, in no particular order, I am grateful for shopping. I love it and can't wait for Black Friday!
I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Turkey Day! Love you all! On to Christmas...I can hear "Muppet Christmas Carol" calling to me!

I am thankful for you... and grateful to be part of your family group. I loved the picture of you and Mark too. Mackinley is beautiful and growing so much. I can't wait to see you all. Hope Black Friday was all you wished for!
Well said Tish, now get home so I can love that little pink bundle!
