It has been a super hectic end of October and all of November! So I am going to do a quick recap of the last month or so, centered on things I am thankful for.
1. I am thankful for my brother and his new wife Patti who were married October 23, 2014 ! It was such a pleasure to be a part of their wedding and see them start their lives together.
2. I am thankful that I have my faith and that I know there is more to life than our time here on Earth. I am thankful that I know God is watching over me and that I will see my mom again someday.
3. I am thankful for my family, which includes both my side and Tom's side. I don't even feel like there are sides anymore because I feel so loved by both parts of my family and they make me feel loved too. I am thankful for my nephews. Those two boys are the sweetest and I genuinely enjoyed being with them this Thanksgiving. From having them fight about getting to sit near Tom and I every time we eat with them, to teaching my older nephew how to make paper fortune tellers, or snuggling with my younger nephew on the couch while watching a Dean Martin Christmas special, I know holidays are special, especially when they are around.

4. I am thankful for my sister-friend Stevi. I am thankful that I get to watch her be an awesome wife to Joe and mother to Leo and Juliet. I am thankful that these 2 little ones can be a part of my life and that I have been friends with Stevi for almost 10 years now.
