All the things im Thankful for

This year has flown by and we have had alot of rough times, and alot of good times. And now that thanksgiving is just a day away, i thought i would list all the things im thankful for.

1. Family
I dont know what i would do without them. My mom has been amazing this whole year. Me and her have had alot of ups and downs, lots of fighting and name calling, but this year has been different. She has completely changed her attitude in so many ways. She is wonderful when it comes to Erica. She takes such good care of her when im sleeping in the day from working the night before, that i never have to worry about "is she getting her teeth brushed?" "is she getting bathed?" "is she eating healthy?" My mom is very uptight when it comes to being clean and safe and for once in my life, i am extremley grateful for that. She always goes out and  buys things for Erica. She has a bed, clothes, shoes, toothbrush, shampoo, etc... everything she needs is at her house so i never have to take anything over there and i know my mom has everything she needs. She has helped me in so many ways financially. She never hesitates to help. and she is always offering to help me in anyway. Although, my dad doesnt do much anymore, im so thankful that God has kept him here. He's been through alot physically and emoitionally. Ever since his heart attack he has just gone downhill. Everytime i look at him i just cherish the time that he is here with us still and that he's still hanging on. I hope one day he will have enough strength to get out of bed and be active. My in-laws are great. They always help out with Erica on the weekends when me and Zach want to go out and spend some time together, which we dont get too much. Erica always has so much fun with grandma and grandpa. They spoil her rotten. And everytime i take her there, i know she is having a blast.

2. Daughter
Words cant even express how i feel about my little girl. She is amazing in every way. She always puts a smile on my face. She is so smart and surprises me everyday with the things she learns. She has taught me so much in the last 2 years. She is the sun in my sky. Her smile just makes my heart melt. I am so thankful to have such a beautiful daughter. I love you baby girl... so much.

3. Husband
Zachary, We have been through SO much in the last 3 years. But in the end, we have worked through everything and our love is as strong as ever. I am so thankful for everything you do. This family would not be as strong as it is if it wasnt for you. As much as i hate it, im thankful that you work 6 days a week and make good money. Im so thankful that you have put up with me and that you love me for who i am, for whats inside. We always have fun together, even if its just sitting at home playing video games. Im so thankful that you wake up with Erica 4 nights and mornings a week so i can sleep after i come home from work. You are such a good dad to Erica and we both love you very much. 

4. Health
I am so thankful that my family is healthy as we can be.
5. Jobs
As much as i complain about Zach working so much, and me having to work graveyards, i am so thankful that we both have decent paying jobs. Especially when some people out there are getting cut hours or jobs.

And last but not least....

The new baby!
We are so very excited to having a new baby come into this family. You are going to be so very loved by so many people.. We cant wait to meet you.
