What I am Thankful for in 2008...

Okay... I am going to try to type this without crying.


Tomorrow and everyday I am thankful for so many things.

I am thankful for:

My Savior: He has given me more than I deserve. I am so unworthy of his love. For the Salvation that I have because God sent his ONLY Son to take my place.

My kids: Because they make me smile EVERY DAY and they still love me even when I have to be "The BIG BAD Mommy MONSTER"

My husband: because he is a wonderful father and a great husband, even though some days are better than others~Because he listens to what I am saying, he may not always agree... but he listens.

My Parents: For putting up with me and my ADD all of those years and for being "REAL" parents, not just pretend ones. For their support in my decisions, even if some of them weren't the right ones. For showing me (by example) how Christians live their life for Christ"
For teaching me valuable lessons to help me become a productive citizen. AND For being PRECIOUS grandparents to my kids and my Niece Ember.

My sister Kyria: For being the BEST sister a girl could ever have, for loving my kids like they are her own, for having the cutest EMBER I have ever seen and that I get to call her MY niece.

Ernie and Beulah: For loving me like I am their own and teaching me some very important lessons in life. For being WONDERFUL grandparents to my children and my other niece Meredith. For raising Scott to be a wonderful Man, Husband and Daddy.
Dennis, Anna and Meredith: I know we don’t always see eye to eye, I still love you all and am happy that you will get to share Thanksgiving with us.

My grandparents: They have taught me so much. I love all of them and miss the ones who have gone on to be with Jesus.

Tara and Marci: for being the best friends in the whole wide world. I love you girls.


I am Thankful for:

Gee, Cindy, Eric, Phil, Becca and Kayle: For being on BOTH sides of the family. You all ROCK! I love you and hope to see you ALL very soon.

The Sheets, Summerall, and Christian Crew: I love you guys and miss you. Sorry I couldn't be there for Thanksgiving.

The Georgia Crew: Even though we don't get to see each other that often. I love you guys (and girls) Hope to see you ALL soon.

The Rose, Smith, Vittetoe, Beckner, Hickel Crew: I know this year isn't the same, but we ARE going to pull thru. We need to at least have Christmas together. Start thinking now. I miss you all and love you deeply.

The Bailey Crew: You all ROCK! I love you guys and I will see you tomorrow. Thanks for ALL of your help. Not just with all of our moving, but for the past 15/16 years.


Scott's HUGE family: I love you all and miss you so very much. I am sorry that we don't get to see each other more often. I hope to see you all soon and hope you have a BLESSED Thanksgiving.

The Men and Women who willingly put their lives on the line, daily, our Soldiers and Public Servants.

Our Veterans: For putting you life on the line so that we may live in a wonderful country with Freedom. I know that Freedom isn’t free!

I am thankful for ALL of my FRIENDS and FAMILY... I don't want to know what life would be like with out all of you. I am so thankful that God has placed you ALL in my life. I LOVE you all.

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and that you get to spend it with the ones you love and care about.

AND...

I cried while writing this WHOLE thing. I am such a sap.
