This Thanksgiving it's hard not to reflect on the past year with wonder and to laugh a bit. I guess you never know how much can change in a year, and when your in the midst of a situation it's hard to see what may lay ahead. But like wise it's amazing to see what you've traveled through.
One year ago as we celebrated Thanksgiving I was looking forward to only a few more weeks of my internship and was ready to start a new job. We were living with my parents and that Monday we went to look at our first house. Last November we were Thankful that my internship had gone so well, that Chris had a job, that my parents had put up with us for 6 months, and that the trials and tribulations of life in the Quad Cities were behind us.
By the new year I had lost the job that I thought I had and was job hunting again. I took my certification test, became a Board Certified Music Therapist, and applied to jobs like mad. Before I knew it, I was offered another job with a hospice company. Even then, a matter of weeks it was amazing to see how much could change.
And then... we had NEWS to share. Suddenly everything changed when we found out that our Lucy was on the way.
There were ups and downs over the past year - new job, new car, new house, new baby!
The year flew by, and as I watched Lucy wake up this morning I couldn't help but think about how thankful I am. I am so lucky that I have such amazing family who loves me so much. Both my family and my in-laws are wonderful. They have helped us so much in the past year, they have loved and supported us more than I could have ever asked for. I am so incredibly thankful for a husband who takes care of his family, who loves me and stays by my side every step in our journey and who is am absolutely fantastic father. And I am so incredibly grateful for by beautiful girl. I sat at her side watching her sleep and just thanking God for sending her.
I have never been more happy...
I have never been more humbled...
I have never been more thankful than I am this Thanksgiving.
