giving thanks

thanksgiving is here today. i don't know about you, but i've had some craziness in my life this week, this month, this year with my family. i am definitely thankful for all that i do have and all that i have had.



despite the stress that the good ol USN has imposed a few times, the unexpected death of a beloved family pet, my father's cancer, my mother's illnesses, the loss of a good family friend/extended family member last week, the toe surgery-turned heart surgery from my father-in-law and overall insanity with work... i have much to be thankful for this holiday season.



i am thankful for my husband and son. for my incredible parents who taught my sister, brother and i to be the caring and generous people we are today. i am thankful to no longer have a miserable landlord and to be the proud owners of a VA mortgage. i am thankful for the opportunity to give back to our servicemen and women with my quits. i am thankful for recognition. i am thankful for good friends who lend an ear and shoulder. for the world's best pumpkin pie recipe...passed down through the generations.
