Today is Thanksgiving.
I could go on and on about all the wonderful things I'm thankful for; topping the list would be my awesome husband and amazing kids.
This is the first holiday in 12 years The Hubs and I have spent apart, and while I was/am a little (okay, more than a little) bummed about it, a few wonderful friends had me over for Thanksgiving dinner. It was delicious, fun, and not lonely :)
And to add to the fun, today Audrey ate some stuffing, and JT ate blueberry pop tarts (he ONLY ate strawberry before, and anyone familiar with autism and eating can tell you how big of a deal it is for them to try something new - even if it seems small!). I'd call it a win!
I hope everyone else had a wonderful day, too!

Giving Thanks
Because tomorrow is Thanksgiving, I thought I'd share my list of things I am thankful for.
My kids. Up until I got pregnant with Audrey I had docs telling me I might not be able to have kids, my body wasn't meant to carry children, etc. Not only did I have one miracle baby, but two! My poor uterus has given up, so it has to go. But I am thankful for it sticking around and proving everyone wrong - twice!
My husband. He is awesome. Sometimes he drives me batty, but I know the feeling is mutual. He is seriously the nicest, funniest, sweetest, cutest, best daddy ever.
My family. All of em. Yep. Lotsa people. They are all so very important to me.
The Hubs's family. Lots of them, too! I love his family, they remind me of my own (haha)!
Friends. Old friends, new friends, best friends, friends that help with JT, friends that I talk to daily, friends that I only talk to once a month... I love them all.
Jobs. The Hubs and I both have work. In our economy, I know that we are really lucky.
Sometimes it's so easy to forget everything you have going for you. I definitely know - lately I've been so stressed about this surgery... But really, that's a minor detail in an otherwise blessed life. The surgery will be over and I'll be recovered quickly, and that will be another thing I can add to my list next year.
I hope that everyone has plenty to be thankful for this year.
Love, KD
