Thanksgiving

As much as life hands us stresses and ordeals to go through, this year in particular, I am trying to remain humble. I am blessed, I have a husband who loves and supports me. I have a husband who has encouraged me to go back to school, who has sat down with me and encouraged my career development, and truly pushes me to better myself.

I have a tiny rock in the form of a three year old nightmare. He refuses to use the potty no matter what we do and his energy levels could make the energizer bunny jealous, but he is my life support. He grounds me. I honestly do not know where I would be without him. God has a purpose for everything, B has held a lot of purposes in my life. I often feel guilty because I'm not sure I want to have another child. If we do have another one, I am not sure when it will happen. I feel like he deserves siblings because I cannot imagine my life without my siblings in it. But again, I know God has a purpose and will lead me down the right path. Until then I truly try to remember every moment with him now. He's not a baby anymore, not at all. And that makes me really sad. And sometimes I would like to kill him. But I love him dearly.

Me: Santa won't bring you presents if you are bad.
B: Yes he will, Santa is my CHRISTMAS FATHER. HE IS MY PRESENT GUY!

I have family who love me. I won't lie, in the past three years the burden of caring for our families has left me and K feeling stressed and overwhelmed. But at the end of the day they love us and we love them. I am grateful to have family that we are close to and cherish as much as we do.

K has a job that can support us, I have a job that can give us extra things in life and pay for my schooling.

I am in school and doing really well. This is the best I've ever done in school. Has it been easy? Oh no. I have cried at least once a month since I've started. K has held me threw my tantrums and pushed me to succeed (only fair I had to do the same to him when he was in school).

I have some of the best friends I could ever ask for. We've all grown so much in different ways, but I know who is my friend and there when I call at any time.

I have lived a full life and never truly understood what it means to suffer. I have had my fair share of ups and downs, but I have always been a blessed person. The terrorism happening around the world hurts my heart and I cannot imagine suffering from that first hand. Being in that.

I am blessed and so thankful for my life. The Lord truly has given me so many wonderful things and I never want to take them for granted.
