Thankful for...

Since I'll be busy cooking tomorrow - I thought I'd start early today.

I'm extremely thankful for the Lord. He's shown up in the past year move than I've ever imagined. He's been my provider, my friend, my comforter, my joy. In the past few months especially, He's provided for my heart and our finances and met our needs before we recognized what our needs were. He's given us this sweet boy in my tum even though that's a blessing we certainly don't deserve. Best of all, He will continue to be there and He will continue to be Him.

I couldn't be more thankful for my husband. That's not true, I could probably always be more thankful for Him:). HOWEVER - In the past year and a half, He's become my best friend and He meets just about all of my earthly relational needs. He's there to get me ice, make hamburger runs, tell me it will be okay when I freak out. He's there to rub my belly, pray with me when the pregnancy dreams get to be too much, and he's continued to do the dishes for the past eight months when they gross me out too much to look at them. More than what He does, who He is freaks me out sometimes because He is definitely still the best man in the world - the best person I think I'll ever meet.

My family - whew. They are actually the greatest in the world. My mom, my sister, stepdad, dad, stepmom, brother in law, NEICES, did I say sister? I actually have the best family ever and my sister grows more and more daily to be my best friend in the world. When your sister makes a T-shirt that has a picture of you pregnant with the caption "These are a few of my favorite things", then you can come and we'll debate who has the best family. Until then, mine wins handdown.

Lastly - I have some stinking amazing friends. Old and new. They're great. AND I have a great church. I"m tired of writing - but trust me, I'm crazy thankful for all of them too.

I lied - I have one more thing I'm thankful for. ICE. It makes life sweet.
