I'm always the corny one at my family's Thanksgiving dinner that wants everyone to tell what they're thankful for. Evan and Haley have provided some comic relief over the years with their answers. Today I thought I'd try to write a few of the things I'm thankful for. PLEASE add to this list via the comments section...you don't even have to sign your name...but thought it would be fun to see what we're all thankful for this year.
What I'm Thankful For:
-A God who loves me with no strings attatched and wants to bring me into His kingdom so much He sent His only Son to die so I could get there
-A husband who loves Christ and lives a life of integrity....and changes diapers too

-Brothers who I adore....and now their girlfriends too!!
