Since it is Thanksgiving I thought I would do at least one post on something I am thankful for, my family. Needless to say, the move to California and our life here over the past 15 months has had it’s excitement, hardship and disappointments.
But I can’t even imagine having done the last year by myself. Getting to see my girls play in the ocean for the first time and now loving the beach, watching Nehemiah grow up as fearless as any boy has been, and seeing the strength and grace of my wife to help keep everything together while I have risked with new opportunities has been incredible. I seriously have no idea how I got so lucky to have a wife like her… seriously. It is like Katie Couric falling for David Spade.
Anyways, I am also thankful for my brother and his wife, and their new family, my parents and their journey, my in-laws and their support and how “Nana” sends our girls a package every single week with fun stuff for them = they love it!
Finally, I am thankful for the members of our “California Family”, the Griffins, the Busbys, the Mackeys, the Greens, the Nagles, the Coates, Brian, Nathan, Sarah, Johnny, Jason and more - all of them have helped us and have been family for us. We have never felt so cared for and supported in a community of friends like we have here - truly a blessing.
What are you thankful for?
