Thanksgiving

We decided to stay home this year and have a little staycation after getting back from Disney. We made a full meal and invited our friends Kelly, Brian and Camryn over to join us. Kaylee made her first apple pie, which she was very proud of. Kianna made deviled eggs and Trace helped with the green bean casserole. The meal was delicious!

We have are so blessed and have so much to be thankful for!!! Here's my top 10 list:

1. My LORD and savior, Jesus Christ. I can't imagine living life without the love, grace, peace and forgiveness he offers me on a daily basis.
2. My family- I love my husband and three kids. We have our ups and downs, but we always forgive. They are my safe place and I love them with all my heart.
3. My house- We have moved more than I would like but God continues to bless us with beautiful homes along the way. I especially love our beautiful backyard and pool.
4. Food- I love good food and am thankful that we have full bellies.
5. Extended family- I'm thankful for my parents who despite being divorced early in my life loved  me enough to create a loving atmosphere for me to grow up in. I'm thankful for Sue being a great stepmom over the years and loving me as her own. I'm thankful for my many brothers and sisters and that we continue to grow closer as we get older. I'm thankful that I have two grandmas still living and that my kids know them too.
6. My job- I love being a PT and am so thankful that God laid it on my heart when I was 16 years old. I love my patients and am passionate about helping them get relief from their pain; physically, mentally and spiritually.
7. Our church- We love our pastor and his bible based preaching. I have grown to love my mom's small group and the way we pray for each other during the week. They are a great group of ladies.
8. Jupiter Christian School- I'm thankful that my kids are able to attend a Christian school. It's not cheap, but they are getting fed biblically based curriculum and a Christian world view, which is so important in our culture of "do whatever makes you happy" mentality. 
9. Our dogs- I love Bella and Rizzo so much! I love how they sleep with Trevor and I each night and cuddle with us during the day. They make me happy!
10. Exercise- I love getting outside and enjoying the beauty of God's creation. I love walking along the beach and in our neighborhood with Trevor or at Riverbend park with friends. I love paddle boarding with Kelly. I love biking with my kids and/or friends. 

Thank you God for all that you've blessed us with. Help us never to take it for granted!!!!
