A year of blogging...and a year to be thankful for!

I have hit my year anniversary (or close to it) on blogging. When I started, I had no idea what I would write about...but apparently I either have more going on than I thought or I'm really good at talking about a whole lot of nothing.

I'll say that I must have lots of stuff going on. :)

There have been many big things happen in my life since this time last year. So, I think this is as good as an opportunity to say all the things I am thankful for this year!

I'm thankful for God's love, my family, my future husband, bryan's family, my friends, my health, a niece that I am SO in love with, the holiday season, my country, my job, Bruce returning from Iraq, a wedding to look forward to....I could go on. It's just amazing.

It's sometimes hard for me to understand how I ended up with such a wonderful life, with so many people to love, so many people that love me, and all of these material comforts...and more THINGS than I will ever need when there are so many people who will go with out. I'm guilty of doing nothing. I'm definitely guilty of "wanting more." But, my goal this holiday season is to be content, grateful, humbled, giving, patient and kind. My other goal is to make a difference...even if it's something small. They say every little bit helps. Here I go.
