Well this is my second attempt at a blogger site…I am soo computer illiterate. Hopefully this time it’ll stick!!! I am excited to chronicle the wonderful things that go on around this little corner of the world I call home. Today is Christmas Eve Eve and the kids just wrapped up a movie night of Elf and popcorn. Elf was great…popcorn not so great. The babies are in bed now and the big girls are on their way. I am just sitting here thinking about how fortunate we are to have this peace in our lives. I have never taken for granted not for one minute…how fortunate I am to be right here right now. Whether that “now” has been easy or hard I am thankful for my life. I am thankful for my loving husband and how he has matured me through patience and understanding. I am thankful for my parents and how much they still love me even though I am way past childhood. I am thankful for my sister because life without her is unimaginable. I am thankful for her family beacuse we get to have the family life we always dreamed of. I am thankful for my brother because he and his wife keep us honest and truthful and help me keep searching for the truth and they are sooo good to their kids.I am thankful for my husbands family because they have treated me as family and have been NORMAL and I am glad to pass that on to my children. I am thankful to my daughters for not only tolerating me as their mother but loving me, for thinking I am so much fun to be around and for being totally irrational and emotionally unstable because they trust me and their Dad to take care of them and listen to them. I am thankful to my son who has loved us heart and soul since the day we chose him. I am thankful for my friends who laugh with me and cry with me, who have been with me through all my ups and downs and have let me be there with them through all of theirs. You probably could look at my life and find things that are not perfect…but right now you would have a heck of a time convincing me!! Merry Christmas to all of you!!!
