Giving Thanks <3

This past week the husband and I drove down to So. Cal to spend Thanksgiving with our families. After not being able to come down last year we were even more thankful that God has blessed us with the health, time and finances to make our trip this year!

It was so nice see all the family come together and give thanks. Cousins, Aunts, Uncles and family friends all joined at my parents house. It was nice to see all the little kids playing and grandmother enjoying having all her family under one roof.

I've been so blessed and have enjoyed our trip more than I ever really have. It has been so fun to catch up with my parents and my brother (he actually made it with out working this year) Here are a few pictures from our time together for Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is coming

We are only 2 and a half week out from Thanksgiving and the hubby and I are so excited. God has blessed us with a wonderful marriage and life together and we are excited and thankful to be spending Thanksgiving with our families.

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect and realize what you are thankful for in your life. For me I am thankful for the following.

1. Having an AMAZING, STRONG, SUPPORTIVE husband that I could ever ask for

2. Having a family that would do ANYTHING to make me happy.

3. Friends who mean the world to me and support me when I need it.

4. a job that is dependable in this rough economy

Those are just a few things that I have thought of over the past days and how blessed I am. Who knew that at 25 I would be married to my best friend and love of my life planning our future together. My husband has proven over and over that he is amazing and treats me like his queen. He does anything and everything to make me happy and I do the same for him. We have a strong relationship and I hope that God continues to bless us and watch over us and our marriage.

My Family My Life

My family has proven to be the most amazing family in the world.  My mom who is not only my mom and the one who has raised but is literally my best friend in the whole world.  The person who I can ALWAYS count on to turn my gloomy days around and always wanting to comfort me in my time of need eve at age 24.

My dad who is my rock.  The helps hold our family together and the older I get the more I see myself in my dad.  He has always been there for me and will and would do ANYTHING for my brother and I and also my husband.  My father who has two children as taken my husband into our house hold as one of his own.  It makes me feel so warm and happy to know how much my family loves my husband.

My brother I miss more than anyone.  We have gotten so much closer since I graduated high school and he has supported me and given me advice in times when I didn't know who to turn to.  He has NEVER judged me and even though I'm his annoying little sister he has always supported me in everything that I have done.

My husband!  He is more than I could have EVER dreamed of.  He is my rock and my world.  We have had our good times and bad and through it all he has ALWAYS treated me with respect.  He has seen me at my lows and my highs and is always there for me.  He is not only my lover, guardian, partner he is my heart.  I never thought that I could care for someone other than my own family as much as I do my husband (im sure that might change when we have kids ; ) )  

It is always nice to take a moment and realize how amazing my family is and how blessed I am to have a husband that is so supportive.  I'm blessed to have married such a strong, driven and independent man who knows how to respect and treat me and care for me.  

I love my family my life!
