Thinking Thankful

With Thanksgiving coming up I have been really contemplating about everything in my life that I have to be so thankful for. This year I have been blessed with a beautiful baby boy, a wonderful husband, great in-laws (plus a lot of new extended family:)), and a little girl on the way! WOW That really is a lot for one year. Thanksgiving has grown to be one of my favorite holidays just for the reason that I can really think about all that I have to be thankful for. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends, and make sure to take time to remember what you are thankful for:)

Did you cast YOUR vote???

Well I am sitting here patiently waiting the results of this big election! Today was my first time ever voting and I was so excited. I am so glad to be an American and I think that voting is a duty of every American. No matter what your views are politically I just think its important to vote.
We have been soo very busy with school and work that I am just completely exhausted! I plan on putting Halloween pictures on here tomorrow, Cash was the cutest Lion ever! Hope everyone has a good election night:)
