Wow how do the days keep coming & going so quickly!!! 8. I am thankful for Friday night "Date Nights" with my husband. Almost a year ago a group of neighbors asked us to be part of their "datenight" group. You watch the kids (13 of them) 1 Friday a month & the other 3 you get 3 1/2 hrs with your spouse. I have to tell you that I look forward to friday at least 3 times a month & I enjoy the time I have with Travis. I am so thankful for Friday night "Date Nights".

I just love how adorable she looks in them. Well we recently went to the eye Dr. & he told us that her Right eye is pretty weak & tends to be LAZY. So we have to patch her left eye every night to strenthen her weaker eye. I'm thankful that she has the opportunity to have glasses to help her se

So I'm still behind but I'm up to day 7. 7. I am thankful for our Country & all the Veterans who serve in the Military. A Veteran is someone, who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for an amount up to and including their life. That is beyond honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer remember that fact. I am so thankful for all those men and women who have fought so that I can be free. Thank you to those who have served our country, and thank you to their families for supporting them while they gave their time, hearts, and often their lives - to people they never knew personally.

Today I'd like to write about a few more of the things I am Thankful for. 4. I am very Thankful for my Mom. I always have & always will be close with my mom. She is my best friend. She is always there for me & is the best mom in the whole world. She is also the Best Meemaw to my children. They love her so much, and she has a way of making them each feel special & loved. My Mom has had a rough year this past year. She had to be on Chemo meds for Hep C. She was losing her hair by the handfuls & eventually decided to cut it all off. I was there for the cutting & It was a fun & emotional experience. I love my mom so much & appreciate all she does for me & my family. I am so very thankful for my mom. 5. I am thankful for technology. I really like technology. Blogger & Facebook allows me to keep in touch with friends & family. I'm kind of a nosey person & enjoy reading about every one's lives. 6. I am thankful for Deals! I

I saw a blog post on a friends blog today where she has posted something everyday this month so far some of the things she is thankful for. I loved the idea but thought, well it's already the 9th of the month so I guess I can't start now. I decided it doesn't matter when I start, I have so many things I am thankful for & since I use this blog as a journal I am going to write them all down. So today I'm going to start this off & hopefully catch up so that by Nov. 30th I've written #30 things I'm Thankful for. 1. I am thankul for my home. (No this picture isn't recent, it's from 2008, but I haven't taken one since then.) We lived in apartments for 7 years & were thrilled to finally get our home in 2006. It's not our ideal home & it's older than we had hoped, but it is perfect for us & I am so thankful for our home. 2. I am thankful for my Van. This Van has been a fun vehicle to own. It has tons more room than our other ve
