Thankful 2010

It's Thanksgiving and there are so many things that I am thankful for this year. The first is obvious, my precious Kaitlyn. She has blessed me more than anything else in my life. Watching Michael with her honestly gives me tremendous joy! I'm also so thankful for Michael. He is a great husband who has won over my heart and whom I continually respect. I am also thankful this year for the peace that I have in my life. It's been a really difficult year for me professionally but through all the difficulties God has given me a peace that even I don't understand but it's there. I am currently reading Elizabeth Elliott's classic book Though Gates of Splendor and am studying Searching for Significance. Both of these books have led me to a closer relationship with God and have given me a lot to think about when it comes to the topic of forgiveness. I'm at a place in life where I feel really blessed and am genuinely thankful to God for the good and the bad.

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving at my moms house.

Kyle and Jenny worked hard at making all of the food. It was super good.

I snuck this picture while Michael was kissing her.

Kaitlyn and her monkey. She was happy all day long and we were all gaga over her.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
