giving thanks

I tried not to let this happen. I swore to myself that I wouldn't be like the rest of the crazy blogging world. But then I kind of fell in love with blogging. I love looking at blogs, reading about people's lives .... I can't get enough of it.
So I've decided to do a blogging experiment.



Sometimes this sort of thing gets on my nerves, but sometimes I like it. I feel like this one will turn out pretty good. I'm going to blog about something that I'm thankful for every day until Thanksgiving. I'm hoping it will get me into the holiday spirit a little better, and make me think about all of the wonderful things I'm blessed with. So here goes.

#1 My Family. They are the greatest, most wonderful family. I have parents that would do anything for me, a sister who is my best friend, and really tall brothers.
And then there are my in-laws. Most amazing sisters, and really talented and funny brothers. Lucas has incredible parents, and incredible step-parents. And also really cool step-brothers and sisters. Plus a dozen adorable nieces and nephews.







I'm really really lucky and grateful for the incredible family I have, and I love them all.
