Holidays

I love the holidays! I love the festive air and the smiling faces and the lights and the scarfs and hats. Dan and I drove up to Paso Robles to have Thanksgiving with his dad and step-mom. It was a long drive, but it was so wonderful to see everyone and enjoy a relaxing weekend with family. Dinner was delicious! I am always so well fed at their house. :-) I like that all our family is pretty much within driving distance. Holidays is such a great time to see everyone and celebrate the year together.

Yesterday we decorated our new home for Christmas. I had Christmas music on all day long while we put up stockings and lights. We will hopefully be getting our tree this coming weekend!

One of my favorite things about the holidays is the time I take to reflect on the year and be thankful. I am going to list some of those things for you.

~ I am thankful for God's persistance. They way that He desires to spend time with me no matter what mood I am in or how well or not so well behaved I have been.
~God loves me as I am and not as I should be
~I am thankful for my husband and the way that he pursues me and desires to know me better
~I am thankful for our new home
~I am thankful for our church family and that we are starting to get connected
~I am thankful for my job and all the wonderful friends that I work with
~I am thankful for family

I am thankful for so many things. I would love to hear what you are thankful for. Please let me know.

Blessings ~~~
