Thankful

Today I have been reflecting on the many things I am grateful for.

- My children. Being able to have kids and the love and simplicity they bring into our life.
- A job. I am very grateful that we were able to find a job that Marcus loves and that provides for our family. Very very grateful for this one.
- Marcus. He is a great father and husband. He is very patient with me and is constantly trying to improve himself. He is dedicated to all he is involved in. He has really worked hard on our new home and has done many things he doesn't enjoy. I appreciate his effort. Tonight he has been working hard to install my oven. He is good to me!
- Kitchen flooring. You only need to go without for a short time to really make you appreciate flooring. As you can see the girls couldn't get enough of the new space.



- Friends. There are amazing people in every place that we have lived. In the last week I have thought/missed Ang in California, Dani and Kathleen and Natalee in Indiana, Greg and Julie in Utah and have been able to hang out with great new friends here. Feeling very grateful for good friends all over.
- Family. There is too much to list here. Our family has really sustained us through many challenges.
