A lot of the other bloggers have been talking about the many things they're thankful for this month. I didn't get in on that, but I have so many things I'm thankful for. First and foremost I'm thankful for my family. I have 3 wonderful children of my own, 3 great step-daughters and 2 awesome granddaughters!! I guess I should begin my telling you a little bit about my family. My children are Megan Green, Colby and Caleb Deal. Megan is in Iraq working for KBR. She's been over there a little more than a year. I really miss her especially around the holidays. Colby is here in Mt. Vernon working and Caleb is still at home and in school. My step-daughters are Audrey, Shanna and Jessica. Audrey lives in Austin and Shanna and Jessica both live in Mt. Vernon. Shanna and Lance have Averie and Jessica is mother to Gracie. Guess we're a "modern day" Brady Bunch without Alice!! Boy, sure could use an Alice sometimes!! It's really great having a big family. There's always something going on and NEVER a dull moment.
I'm thankful for my good health and the fact that I can play with and enjoy my grandchildren. I'm thankful to have such a wonderful, caring husband. This may sound kind of sappy, but he really is my soulmate! We just fit together so well and compliment each other. He really came into my life at a time when I needed him the most and felt really low and feeling not very worthy. He makes me feel like I can do anything and treats me like a queen. I'm thankful for all the things he's helped my discover about myself I didn't know I had!! I'm thankful for all my friends, but especially for the few, TRUE, LOYAL and never FAILING friends. (You know who you are). I can always count on them no matter when or what the circumstances. I hope they look at me as the same kind of friend. Friends like those are few and far between and I believe come once in a lifetime. I'm thankful to live in a country that allows us so many freedoms. And for all this I have God to thank. Without Him, none of these things would be possible. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving as I did. The only thing that was missing this Thanksgiving was Megan. I really miss her more than words can say. She's an awesome daughter and one of my best friends!!
