Thanksgiving!!

We have so much to be thankful for this year. Although we’ve had a few setbacks, God’s grace is upon us and I know He always has our best interest at heart –know matter how hard the lesson may be.

I am thankful for my wonderful husband, my two healthy children, and my family and friends. My heart couldn’t be more full of thanks. I love this time of year because in the midst of the life moving full speed ahead, it reminds me to take some time to reflect. I always promise myself to be thankful and reflect throughout the entire year but somehow the daily grind gets to me. So now, I take a special moment to say, “thank you Lord for your many, many blessings.” Here are some pictures of our time with our family in Fresno. We missed seeing TT this year!!
