Oops

So much for that whole "I'm gonna keep this blog more updated" theory. I had you going there for a while didn't I?? HA! Okay, okay so I'm not the world's best blogger. I tend to get too busy throughout the day and remember too late that I never did post anything. Oh well. We are gearing up for our Thanksgiving trip which I am very much looking forward to. I cannot wait to see my family and the kids are bouncing off the walls with excitement!

I absolutely love this time of year. The cooler weather, the yummy food, the anticipation of Christmas, the shopping, the time with family. Love it. I don't understand why we need a specific day to be thankful, though. I mean, really?? Just one day? Shouldn't we be thankful every day? When I stop and count my blessings, I am so overwhelmed I don't even know where to begin. I try to make sure I thank God every single day for what He has given me. An amazing husband, two gorgeous kids, a roof over my head, good health, wonderful family, food in my belly, the list goes on and on. There is nothing wrong with having a specific day to reflect on all we have to be thankful for, not only as individuals but as a country. I mean, it gives me another reason to get together with extended family and eat a slice of my uncle's to-die-for chocolate cheesecake! But I want to make sure the Lord knows how thankful I am every day. Because without His blessings, I would have nothing.
