...I THINK too much!

I've been "thinking" a lot lately.  I hate when I do that! LOL
No, seriously, I have been thinking a lot about how blessed I am.  I have an amazing husband that is very giving, very thoughtful, a wonderful friend, an amazing daddy, and just a super funny guy.  I have been blessed to have been married to him for almost 10 years, and it's been the best 10 years of my life!!!
I have 3 beautiful children that I love so much.  Each of them bring a different light to my life.  I absolutely loved watching them at Christmas, the joy, the excitement in their eyes, and the "Speechless" moments when they opened that present they wanted so badly.  I love listening to my children pray... I love just watching their little minds at work...  I don't really like when they 'fight' and 'scream' at each other....but I remember doing that same thing as a kid myself. ;) (well, maybe just once or twice...)
I am blessed with amazing friends.  I have found friends within our church family, therefore, they are uplifting to me.  They keep me in check, they encourage, they understand me, and I love them. Our family is both blessed and honored to belong to the church we belong too. 
Then there's ALL those blessings we take for granted each day: A roof over our head, our health, a vehicle that runs, clothes, jobs, etc etc AND a God that loves us unconditionally.  Wow!

We were blessed with an amazing Christmas, and amazing holiday season.  FILLED with family, friends, and all the people we love most.  Guess that's what got me to 'thinkin about how much I have to be Thankful for and how truely blessed I am!

I am so ready for Christmas.  I cannot wait to watch my kids open presents, see that excitement on their faces, etc....;)
Our Christmas' are pretty hectic.  We have several places to go and LOTS of people to see, but it's fun when it's all said and done, and it's a great time spent with family!  Let the official countdown begin, I can't wait!
