We are so Thankful

We are so blessed in many ways with family, health, wonderful jobs, loving extended family, friends who surround us, wealth, etc. I could go on and on with the countless ways we are blessed in our lives. Anything and EVERYTHING we have ever truly desired or needed, God has provided. Sure, there are times we do not get what we want or think we deserve, but those moments are when we learn the most about who we are and what we truly NEED. We are thankful for those moments as well. We started Thanksgiving day with sleeping in and lounging in our PJ's. THAT is my kinda day, hehehe! We were so blessed when my best friend, Lizzy, of about 26 years came to visit us. Her family lives in Sugarland and she spent her morning coming to see us. Lizzy is one of those friends that I wish everyone could have. After lunch we went to Gamee/Grampee's house to be with Charles' family for the afternoon/evening. Uncle Corey had driven into town for the weekend, and Uncle Christopher/Aunt Heather came over for dinner also. So, we were so blessed to have everyone home at the same time! We enjoyed hanging out, cooking (Gamee/Grampee pretty much everything already done!), napping, and of course watching football! Dinner was amazing and we managed to eat quite a lot...I cheated and wore stretch jeans and a baggy shirt! I was most impressed by Gamee's decor on the table with fresh flowers, candles, and beautiful fall colors. After dinner, we enjoyed some football. I must say, this is one of the few times you will hear "hook 'em" or "C'mon horns" coming from our house...but last night was one of those times. Let me just say, we were thankful the horns were able to give the Aggies a little escort goodbye out of the Big 12. Although we will miss the rivalry between these teams, the game was one we can remember for a long time. Thank you God for all the many gifts you provide us daily and the wonderful Thanksgiving Day we had this year! Ps- If it appears that we hardly have any pics of Cade, that is correct. Cade is a busy little man and is not exactly interested in a "quick pic" with the family! He preferred to be running around and playing at Gamee's house. :)
