Tuesday is for being Thankful (196+)




On this, my 35th birthday, I realize God has given me so many gifts...and this blog post (link above) reminded me how thankful I am to have my children. Some days are hard, some days seem long, but as she said in that post.."I get to do this!" What a blessing I have been given. And, today, I am so thankful for my sweet family, my amazing husband, my sweet children. I am blessed!
