A Thankful Time of Year...A Thankful Time of Life

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I decided today that I was going to take the time to get this blog set up so that I can start posting updates on Stella and everyday life. I've been planning to do this for some time now, but just haven't had a spare minute to get it going. Today is really no exception, but I figure I've worked hard for the last few weeks and I can take a few brief moments and just get the ball rolling. Once the start is up, I can keep it going much more easily I'm sure. I'm looking forward to the day off tomorrow to spend with Stella and John. I cherish every moment we have together as a family. Stella is growing so fast and now she's at the stage where she's really entertaining to watch. We love playing with her and making her laugh.

I hope everyone enjoys their holiday tomorrow and takes a minute to remember what they are thankful for this year, for me it is certainly my beautiful daughter and the family that I now have. I feel that having her has made me a whole woman and that I have changed in so many ways since she has come into my life. Being a mother is more than I ever could have imagined it would be. I am also thankful for John and that we continue to love each other so much everyday. He is a wonderful husband and an awesome father and I am amazed how much my love for him has grown since we've been married. Marriage is something that I think a lot of people think is not that big of a deal, but to me it is, and I am grateful that I have a husband that I can't wait to come home to every night and that I miss when he's working nights and I don't see him except for a few minutes in the morning as he goes off to bed and I get ready for the day. I'm thankful for my family and the happiness that I have in my life.
