As I lay in bed tonight, I am so thankful for my amazing family. We were able to be together this year and it was so fun and so special. I lay here thanking God for my them and the time we get to spend together.
Although I did miss my other family as the crazy times in Cedar Rapids, I am 100% sure this is where we were supposed to be this year.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving
18. Laughs around the table with family

9. Gods love no matter where we are in life
10. A safe place to be real
I am excited to see what God reveal to me tomorrow

One Thousand Gifts
My mom recently...well, not so recently, gave me this book called One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Fully Live Right Where You Are by Ann Voskamp. Its a great book about giving God thanks for the gifts He has given us. 
I was reading a friends blog yesterday and she talked about this book and has started to write down the things she is thankful for...her gifts from God. It challenged me to do the same. I have decided that I will keep a journal, one on my blog of my one thousand gifts. Im challenging myself to look for the gifts God has blessed me with. The things that bring joy to my life. Some gifts will have pictures, other wont. Here goes nothing!!!
Iwill start with the most obvious
1. My family-
Where would I be without them!
2. The Lake
3. Brent.
4. Marley.
He is full of unconditional love
5. The smell of rain coming through an open window.
6. The way a rose looks in full bloom
