Thanksgiving

This year I have so much to be thankful for. Our home, our family and a new addition,  another year with older ones, and friends. I have not spoke of this but it has been a tough year when it comes to friends. I truly have a better understanding of friendship, what is real and have learned a very difficult life-lesson. I am thankful for all this though. That is what life is about and it means I am living, making mistakes and growing.

I love the way the snow looks but for the first time am not embracing it. We didn't get much of a summer. But I am thankful for the fresh look and the beauty of it. It is magnificent. 

This family came to visit and were put to work right away. It is the Williams family,Chris, Angel BreAnna and Troy. Chris is Rob's brother from another mother. They have been friends since they were around 10 years old.

They look so much alike huh. Family resemblance is strong. And his beautiful bride was trying to hide from the camera.

Angel and I packed all the windows upstairs and took out the screens. Job done. Then we headed to go see a movie with all the kids except Robby. He could think of a zillion other things he would rather do.

I have to say it was great. The best one yet and oh it left us hanging.

And while we were away the boys worked hard instead of played and all the windows were set. Then On Sunday I helped Rob set 2 of the 3 french doors. I had to go to the SVVC signups, club volleyball which I am club director. Yes I may have over done it here but hey, I love volleyball and am so excited about a valley wide team.  Anyway, Robby helped him finish and guess what, he did a much better job than I and Rob was sure to tell me. I can take it. I am big enough to admit I am not "handy", but I try.

It is so pretty. I know I am prejudice. This morning I had to run out and grab something. All I do when I walk through is think, wow next year this is what it will look like in the morning when I am getting ready, or I will just have to run downstairs and start the car in the garage not run outside. I get to "feel" it.  Next year, this season will be in this new home. And while I know it will come sooner than I think, and I need to enjoy now, I am still so excited for that to come. 

Happy Thanksgiving all.
