Giving Thanks
I, we, have a lot to be thankful for. We live in a free country, where men, women and children are free to worship as they choose, free to go about as we please, free to choose our livelihood and our neighborhood.
I am thankful for my family, local and long-distance. I am thankful for my amazing husband, my soul-mate, my feisty 8 year old daughter, of which I never in a million years, thought I would be so blessed.
Without a doubt, I am thankful for my brave sons, who serve and protect from far away, and for all of our military families who give up more than just a holiday for this country.
Fun Times with Family and Friends
Last night we invited Emily’s closest friend from school for their very first sleep-over and then took the girls and met Anna’s family in the next town over for a pre-Christmas celebration.
We went on a carriage ride, decorated Christmas cookies, walked around the shops, watched the tree-lighting and Emily even sat on Santa’s lap! She’s 8 years old and had always been terrified of sitting on Santa’s lap.
Our favorite coffee shop, Milwaukee Traders (think big comfy couches and free wi-fi) is the perfect place to relax and do business. It was all decked out for the holidays.
I didn’t forget my camera this time and created this video. Enjoy!
What’s Your Someday?
Everybody has a ’someday’.
“Someday, I’m going to take that vacation.”
“Someday, I’m going to give more to church.”
“Someday, I’ll be able to make it to Susie’s soccer game.”
“Someday, I’m going to leave this job for something better.”
and it goes on and on and on.
Sound familiar?
What is your ’someday?’ My someday was that ’someday’ I’m going to buy a house, ’someday’ I’m going to take my oldest son back to Germany so he can see where he was born.
I am now a homeowner, although I have still to take my son back to Germany to see where he spent the first 18 months of his life, although I know it will happen because I will make it happen.
