A Whole Lot'a Family
It's been a super long time since my family has been in the same house. Unfortunately not everyone was there, but there were many gathered rather tightly in my home this Thanksgiving season. Lets see. There was my sister Dawn and her son Alex, both in from Texas. Then there was Kristy in from Idaho, Michael, Melissa and their baby boy Austen from Utah, Mom and step-dad Bob from Arizona. Finally and most importantly to me, my babygirl Jessica and grandson Ryker. Oh how I wish Josh would've been here but he is at that "I can't stand to leave my girlfriend" stage that many of us can relate to from when we were teenagers.

I was thankful to share such a special day with many special people whom I love so dearly. Life is so short and I think it's important, no matter how chaotic it can seem, to spend as much time with our families and friends as often as the opportunity presents itself. It was almost the perfect day for Pete and I...would have been great to have had Josh, Kassi, Samantha and her family here too. Maybe someday it'll happen.
I have been so blessed by God and I have so very much to be thankful for. I hope I never take for granted any of the many blessings in my life. Thank you Lord, for these, my loved ones. Bless them and keep them safe in your arms, anointed with your love and guided by your light. Amen
