Thanks!

1 Thessalonians 5:18 "Rejoice always, pray comstantly, give thanks in everything for this is God's will for you in Christ."
What am I thankful for? I'm thankful that I enjoy spending time with my family and have been so busy with the festivities that I haven't had time to sit down at the computer. :-) I am unbelievably thankful for my husband! He is more than I ever asked for. He is loving and supportive. He cares for me and provides for me. He leads our family so well. I am very thankful for him. I am thankful for my beautiful daughter. Even when she is a stinker. She brings so much joy to my life. I look at her 100 times a day and think about how much I love her and how grateful I am that God has given me the privilege of being her mother. I am thankful for God's faithfulness. Time and time again he says to us, "I've got your back." Blessings come to us every day. Not just little blessings here and there, BIG blessings. God is so good to us. I would have to be really rotten to say that I don't have anything to be thankful for.

We will begin our 5 hour journey home tomorrow from Hot Springs. Afton was so good on the way here, I was so proud of her. I am so proud of her everyday! It's always something new. I cried last night because as Todd and I were playing with her she started standing up on her little bitty legs, and she did it over and over again. It just made me realize how fast she is growing up! I am trying so hard to cherish these moments and lock them away deep in my heart because I know I will never get them back. This morning I decided that I missed her too much to let her sleep any longer. As I made my way up the stairs Todd flew by me to get to her first so HE could have her morning smiles. Jealousy and joy all at the same time. I love how he loves her! He is the BEST daddy! I'm not just saying that because he is my husband and it's what you are supposed to say. I really mean it! I am so thankful that God led us to each other! :-D
