Autumn, Thanksgiving

My Thankful List This Thanksgiving

The older I get, the more I’m learning to roll with the punches. Sure I would love to be comfortable and moved into our home with a functioning kitchen for the holiday but that is not our reality. Bruce will spend the morning getting our rental ready (work, work, work, work, work) and I’ll be baking pies in my mom’s oven while my parents help entertain Hilde! We’ll all meet up at Bruce’s parents for the Thanksgiving meal and it’s going to be great. A couple years ago I would have had a hard time with this plan BUT this year, it feels so perfect! I get to watch the Macy’s Day Parade and bake while my parents play with my energetic 1 year old and Bruce gets projects done. Haha!

  1. This new, unfinished, messy house that is so perfect for our growing family.
  2. A husband who works around the clock to take care of his girls and create a space we all enjoy.
  3. Hilde Joy.
  4. Millie Bea.
  5. Parents in town (I seriously could never move away now.)
  6. A dinning room table (guys, we have lived without one for over a year & just ordered one for the new house!)
  7. Renters for our town home!
  8. Grace.
  9. Family.
  10. Friends.
  11. Hope.
  12. Adventures with my little family.
  13. Christmas.
  14. Disney+
  15. For life with purpose and meaning.
  16. A job I love.
  17. Colorado.
  18. Snow Days.
  19. Grapefruit.
  20. Matching outfits for the girls.
  21. For an identity given & claimed by my Savior.
  22. Apple Pie.
  23. Siblings who are awesome.
  24. Food on the table.
  25. And a Beautiful roof over our heads.
