25 Days of Thanks - Day 1

It's officially December. And each December I find myself thinking about the past year that has flown by yet again. I'm always in awe of what my life has become and this year is no different. Although, this year has more meaning and significance than all the previous years combined. This year marks the birth of my first born. This year solidifies the fact that I'm a parent. This year is the most thankful that I've ever been. Which brings me to my 25 Days of Thanks. Starting today and ending on the 25th, I am going to blog about what I am most thankful for. This will not only serve as my personal reminder as to how blessed I am but will also help me take notice of all the things I take for granted.

Note: I do want to mention that some of the things might seem petty or meaningless to some; however, I am still thankful for them. So please don't be alarmed if I give a shout out to my good old pal sir chocolate.

In no particular order, I give you my first day of thanks...

Day 1:

This one is easy. This one comes without even thinking about it. This one is my best friend, my husband. Without him none of my dreams would have come true. If you know our story, you know that our meeting again, our marriage was in His plan. You don't find each other like that via a chance encounter. And though our personalities are quite possibly as opposite as they come, it all feels as it should...whole, right and solid. So on this first day of thanks, I want to tell my husband, my boog that I am thankful beyond words that you saw something in me that you couldn't live without.

Case in point...this is Brandon on Thanksgiving getting ready to go for a run while I'm thinking about slipping into sweats to make room for all the food that's to come. Do you see what I mean when I say we're opposites. Seriously, who goes running on Thanksgiving? Pure madness.
