Giving Thanks...

As most of you know we have been on one heck of a roller coaster ride this past year. We have shed tears of joy and unfortunately tears of sorrow.

To start our roller coaster off we mourned the passing of Papa Bill but was blessed a couple of months later with the birth of Harper, then this summer Payeton got lost in the woods for a long 5 hours, and last but not least Adam and I separated. I am looking forward to a new year and hopefully a new start. But before then I want to give thanks to those who have touched our lives so much this past year.

First, want to thank the Search and Rescue team for finding our baby girl in the woods unharmed. I want to thank all of my family and Adam's for the support you have given us during this difficult time. I want to thank my friends for always being there when I needed to talk, cry, laugh or scream. I have been touched by all of you and can't express how much you mean to me. Last, I want to thank God for the blessing of my 2 children. I thank him for giving me the courage to move to the big city...it was by far the best decision I have ever made.

Payeton ~ thank you for being such a strong little girl. I admire your independence, stubbornness, and unconditional love for everyone. I look forward to your jokes and our story time every night. I thank God everyday for giving me such a beautiful daughter.

Harper ~ thank you for being so darn cute. I admire your smile, determination, and hint of mischief. I look forward to your warm hugs and slobber kisses every night. I thank God everyday for blessing me with your spirit.

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone! I hope you all have a safe holiday season.
