Thankful

My wonderful friend, Laci, encouraged her blog readers to post what they are thankful for on their blogs, so here it goes (thanks Lace). 

I am thankful for...

• Jesus.  His unconditional love, His grace, His forgiveness. What a joy to have a personal relationship with Him.
• Jonathan.  He is the best husband and dad!  I could not have prayed for a better life partner.
• Camden.  My sweet baby boy.  I don't know what I did without him.  He has added so much love and joy to my life.
• My parents.  They have been an incredible example of love as a mom and dad and husband and wife.  
• In-laws.  They are fabulous!  They have been so welcoming since day one.  I am grateful for their consistent love and support (this includes Jonathan's siblings too...and Sara, of course!) 
  
• Camden's grandparents.  This is a bit repetitive since I already said my parents and in-laws, but I am so thankful Camden has such loving grandparents that will play a huge role in his life.
• Family.  They are far (in CA and IA), but I cherish the times we've been together.
• Friends.  Those who have walked beside me for twenty-something years and those I have just met.  They have made me a better person.  
• Health.  I have been extremely blessed with a healthy body. I hope it continues for many years!
• Pregnancy.  I LOVED being pregnant and the outcome of pregnancy is even better!  I am thankful I had a healthy pregnancy, a safe delivery, and a healthy baby.
• Home.  We moved into our house in the nick of time!  It's great to own something.  We can paint!
• Education.  It was a privilege to go to college, especially on the beach! :)
• Massages.  Need I say more?  I love them!
• Technology.  I'm not savvy, but I love that I can keep in touch with those near and far through things like email and blogs.
• Colorado.  It has been an adventure.  We left our comfort zone in CA and started over here in CO--it has been great!
• Job.  Although I'm not ready to go back to it, I'm thankful to have one!  
• Laughter, the smell of rain, chocolate chip cookies, Starbucks, hugs, fall weather and leaves, the beach, snuggles, the smell of my baby boy, bonfires, vacations, my wedding day, shopping, In-n-Out, memories, and much more!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
