We had a birthday gift for their daughter and them for each of my girls. The girls were sitting down so nice and about to start eating. Well a nice man walked up and started talking and asked if we were having a Birthday party, as we explained to him what we were up to. He made a little talk and said for us to have a Happy Thanksgiving. A few later the Shift manager came out and said for us not to leave, they were baking us fresh chocolate chip cookies for us to have to celebrate Birthdays! And a bit later they delivered us a dozen fresh and warm chocolate chip cookies! What a special treat and blessing!!

I am going to be sharing each week in November my Thanksgiving Thankful Challenge on Thursdays. This way I can blog and not feel pressured daily.
Day 1 - I am thankful for our little family of 4!!!! I can't imagine my life without hubby or the girls. We really are a great family! I always wanted more kids and a bigger family, but God has a plan, and honestly I know that for now our family is complete!
Day 2 - I am thankful for the day of rest that God gave us. I am thankful for all he created for us. It's really magnificent!!!!
Day 3 - I am thankful for my salvation! My eternal life!!!! It's not from anything I did, but what Jesus Christ did for me!!!! He died and rose for me and you, all of you! I can not imagine going through life and no having a relationship with my Lord and Savior!
Day 4 - I am thankful we live a free country and still have the right to vote. And even more thankful that lots of elections went the way I wanted them to go.
Day 5 - Thankful that hubby and I are not apart in location this year, like we were last year!!!! Last year were were states away and missing each other something terrible!!!!!!
Day 6 - I am thankful for the best parents. I miss them so much. I still want to call momma first thing when I get up. I want to call daddy each night to remind him take his meds. I want to tell them everything the girls are doing. Or what is going on here. I know they both are not suffering but I miss them so much. More than words can ever say. I was really blessed with the best. They taught, encouraged, and guided me to be the person I am. They loved my James and girls so much. Both momma and daddy were each a best friend to me. We had lots of fun and great times. They were always there when I was sick or hurt or in need for anything. Or just there for life. We could do nothing and yet have the best of times just being together!
Hugs and Blessings,
Today I am thankful for all that have served or are serving our great Country. I wish we as a country would show more appreciation to them throughout the year, not just on Veteran’s Day. Without them we sure wouldn’t be in the same place today! They have given so much to keep us safe and free! Be sure to thank a Veteran, not just today, but everyday.
Hugs and Blessings,
Day 8
I am so thankful that my niece came to visit today and that we were able to spend the day together! It was a very nice treat, and I really did enjoy doing crafts together. It was a wonderful day!
Day 9
I’m thankful for the prayer warriors in my life! No matter what the need is they are always there and ready to pray. It doesn’t matter if I call, text, or use social media they are there and willing to send up some prayers!
Day 10
I’m thankful for the freedom to choose which Church I want to attend to worship our Lord and Savior. This means so much to me, that we are not forced to worship in a way we do not believe.
Hugs and Blessings,
Day 3 -
I'm thankful for my Momma and Daddy!!! They were the bestest parents in the world!!! And I hope that one day my kids will say I was half as good as my mom or my daddy! I will cherish my memories of them forever!!!! And they will forever be with me!!! I miss them every day, but days like today, I really need them!!!!!! I'm so thankful that I have all the memories, the unconditional love from them, and that they were the two people WHO ALWAYS had my back!!! For the things they taught me, and for even the temper I got from them!!! I'm so glad for the things we got to do together. And all the fun we had!!! Most of all for them teaching me about God and that he loved me no matter what!! Not to mention that I could talk to them about anything!!! They made all Holidays more than you could imagine! And I am thankful that we shared so much with our hobbies and all everything we did!! They taught me to be the person I am and to help others!! They also taught me to love our kids no matter what, and there is no such as labels (step/adopted/etc). God really blessed me with outstanding parents and I am so thankful for them!!!!
Day 4-
I am thankful for every bump in the road, every obstacle, every bad patch or day, for my struggles and trials. They have taught me, helped mold me into who I am, and make me appreciate life more. Including yesterday that was an exceptionally hard day.
Day 5-

I love that I get to be their mom and that no matter how bad of a day it may have been, they can make it all better with a sweet hug!! They are so different and so much alike.

I love them forever and always and then some!!!!!!
Day 6 -
I am thankful for the real and true friends that are there for us no matter what! That love us through our bad times, just as well as the good times! the ones that don't judge us for being who we are or the way we are!!! I'm loud and stand strong in my opinions and beliefs, James is completely who and how he is, and our girls are precious and loving but wild and rowdy!!! But it's the true friends that love us as we are and are there no matter what, that make life much better!!! It's these friends that I'm beyond thankful for!!!!!!!! Thank you dear Lord for blessing our lives with these real friends that are the family we pick!!!

He is amazing!!! He is so much to me!!! We have lots of fun, even just chillin' at home together!!! I love when he cooks with me! But not only does he cook with me, he is a GREAT cook himself. We can do nothing and have a good time, because we have each other! Just the company and talking is wonderful!!! I love to head on the bike and just enjoy the ride with him, kinda like enjoying the ride through life together!!!
He is my bestest friend!!! One that is always there for me, no matter what. Been through some of the roughest times, and stood by me!!! He doesn't hold my mistakes against me. He always supports me and all my crazy ideas!!! No matter how out there they are! He stands strong and firm in his beliefs! No way will he wave!!! He is an outstanding man of God! Leader of our family!!! He is a wonderful provider! He works extra hard to insure we have all we need, and the best life possible!!! He thinks he is comedian, and I have to admit sometimes he is pretty comical! He completes me and I couldn't imagine my life without him!!!
Not only does he provide and support, but he takes great care of me with my illnesses and injuries! He is my soul mate!!! My everything!!!! And I'm glad he is the other parent to our kids!!! He is a wonderful daddy for sure!!!! He is a protector, that's for sure!!! Aint no one going to mess with his girls!!! That’s all 3 of us! I love him more today than I did the day we said I DO! I really didn't think I could ever love him or anyone this much!!! Our love has not only grown stronger, it has withstood what most can't. I am beyond thankful!!!!!! And he make me Happy Happy Happy!!!
Thank you Dear Lord, for blessing me with the most wonderful and amazing husband ever!!!
Hugs and Blessings,
I am thankful for new beginings. James' new job. For the move. The future we will all have there. All this is a blessing from the Lord. It all came together in his timing, not ours. But I am so thankful for this gift to our family. I am looking forward to a better life for us in many ways. Surrounded by many friends and family! Not to mention around people that are like us. I just know that God brought all this about to bless us so much more than we can imagine, and I’m beyond thankful for each and every part of this! It’s been a sacrifice in some ways, but will be more than worth it in the long run.
Hugs and Blessings,
Day 25 ~
I'm thankful for my mom! I wish she was here with me, and on this day before Thanksgiving, I have struggled really bad! (truthfully, I have had a horrid week of coping). But I know that I will get through this too. Because I am really blessed beyond! I am who I am, because of my mom! Our family is what it is because of her! And her and dad always had an open door to feed anyone that was hungry, and no one was to be alone on any holiday, our home was always welcome!!! Mom will be smiling down tomorrow, as we open our home here to some friends that were alone, and not trying back home to their family, as well as several guys at work that do not have any family here either. My family back home, has a big crowd coming! My dear friend, Barb, opened her door to 2 homeless people she passes often, for dinner tomorrow!!! All because MOM showed us how to love and how to use our heart! Thank you, God, for giving me the GREATEST Mom!!! I am so thankful!!!!
Today, I'm thankful for another day! Each day is a gift, and one not to be taken for granite. Today we had lots of extra cuddles and hugs! And I even got to rock my almost big girl baby girl! (She isn't much on being held and rocked!) Perfect gifts!!!!
Today, I'm thankful that I feel totally united in what our new location desires are! For the first time, I am glad to say we are working together on our wish list of things in a home and the parts of the new area we would like too. We are so very excited for the move, and it feels great to be on the same page!!! Thank you, God!!!
I'm so thankful for the touches of Christmas around the house! Christmas is my favorite time of the year, and I love everything about it!
This was Momma's Ribbon box, and I am so glad to have it! I bought lots of ribbon to fill up, so I can get busy making Momma bows for all the Christmas gifts!
A wild and crazy all colored bow, just like Momma would do!!!
The girls tree in their room!!!!
Adoption! Nov 20, 2010 is National Adoption Day! And I'm so thankful for the most awesome gift I have ever been given, the gift of a child by the arms of God, through Adoption!!! It is not easy, as many think it is! It's a lot of stuff to get done, no matter which way you go through the process! I have done Private and CPS/ DCFS and I am telling you, they both have their own quirks and issues! But never the less, they are both way worth it!!!! It's trully the delight of my life!!!! I wouldn't change one part of either one of our adoptions!!!
For the most awesome family day!!!! We had a great day just doing a little of nothing really! We went to the grocery store, and to lunch! Then we came home and just took it easy! Lil E learned to swing herself today!!! And Lil K learned to pedal the trike! And daddy sang to us on his new Karaoke machine! They played wii and we just spent a GREAT family day together!!! We even picked up each of our own 2010 Christmas ornament today!!! They are all so cute!!! I can't wait to show them to you!!!!
I'm so thankful that I am surrounded by the GREATEST and most caring friends! It means so much that they have called or come by to check on me! And to offer their help and support! It really is great!!! More than I could have ever expected! I can't imagine my life without them! They rock!!!
