Guess what? Noooo...Guess again! OK, I give! This is my 300th post! WOW!!! Can you believe that? I am in amazement! I don't think it could have come at a more exciting time either. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.

As I have been thinking about Thanksgiving this year, I have been blown away by how much I have to be thankful for! God has poured the blessing all over my life and I take them for granted. It is so easy to find the things that annoy me and drive me bonkers rather than looking at all the blessings I have. Why is it so much easier to be negative? I am tired of being a negative. I am tired of reading all the negative blogs. I want to focus on the blessings that are too numerous to count! I know this isn't very original, but for my Thanksgiving post, I want to make a list of some of the things I am thankful for.

I am thankful for:

1. God and the salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ, that He has given me.
2. my amazing, wonderful, funny, sweet husband.
3. my first daughter who is talented, smart, and as funny as they come.
4. my second daughter who couldn't be more shy but is the sweetest one in the world.
5. my parents and brother who love and support me unconditionally.
6. my extended family...grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and in-laws...who are so precious.
7. my amazing friends who are always a phone call away.
8. a roof over my head.
