Tis' the season

These past two weeks have been nothing short of pure madness - with decisions about my career hanging in mid-air, Thanksgiving creeping up and life not standing still regardless of how overwhelmed we were.

Thanksgiving with the Hardins comes a few days early every year, and this year the Beavans were the hosts. We made a 20 lb turkey, a honey glazed ham, corn, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, cheddar bay biscuits, gravy, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, stuffing and deviled eggs; basically enough food to feed an army. Everything went off without a hitch. I believe the Hardins, Swanns, Birchs, and Beavans have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

What am I most thankful for, you ask?

·         My marriage, having the perfect partner to learn life with

·         Our new home, it is everything we have ever wanted and then some

·         Our family, which is constantly expanding and growing and becoming even better each day

·         My in-laws, who are more than just in-laws… they are my friends

·         My job, this year I am extra thankful for that

·         Fur-babies, Toby and Tundra who fill our lives with laughs and cuddles

 ·         Our church, SouthPoint, and the relationship I am working to build with the Lord everyday

I could go on… and on… and on with this list – we are truly blessed.

Now it’s time to prep for Christmas. Trees up. Fireplace is broken in. This is going to be the best one yet.
