Things for which to be thankful

Thanksgiving was wonderful this year!! I turned 30 the day before Thanksgiving, and though I thought this was going to be horrible, it was an awesome birthday!
My parents came into town and watched the girls so Laile and I could go out to dinner BY OURSELVES!!! IT was WONDERFUL to say the least! Due to my husband being laid off almost a month ago bc his company went bankrupt, we have all been together A LOT! We have not had any time by ourselves without at least one of the girls and needed a date! We love our girls but as any other married couple knows, you always need alone time together too!
Anywho, Meghan and Bryanna were both excited to see their grandparents and vice versa. Meghan is talking so much now and it is really cute to hear all she says and see all she is doing now!
My parents gave me a beautiful sweater for my bday.
Laile and the girls gave me some really nice new red cookware that I wanted, and the biggest surprise was the awesome new camera Laile got me!! A Nikon D40 SLR! I am soo excited to have this (though not sure how much I will get to use it as my hubby is having soo much fun trying out so many things on it.. I think he got it for himself too) ;0)
Anyway, we ate at Abuelos for dinner, and then had a piece of cheesecake from Salt Grass Steakhouse for my bday dessert.
Since then, I feel all I have done is eat eat eat.. I feel so stuffed and fat right now!! I was planning on working out some, but all that fell through bc I wanted to spend time with my sister and parents while they are here!
SOO Things I have to be thankful for:
-My WONDERFUL family that God has blessed me with - my wonderful hubby & beautiful girls
-My parents who have showed me what a relationship with Jesus is all about, and have been such great examples of love, faithfulness and commitment! I am so thankful for their work for the Lord and it is so inspiring!
-That my sister and her husband were able to come for Thanksgiving and I pray a very safe return back to TN, esp with the long drive!
-The sweet presents my sister brought the girls for an early Christmas since we prob. won't see her.. a Radio Flyer wagon for Meghan, as she LOVES wagons (and we had a hard time getting her out of it), some musical instruments and for Bryanna a CD and Nintendo DS game.. they were very excited!
-For the sweet sister necklace my little sis gave me for my birthday
-For how awesome a cook my hubby is!! He grilled a turkey for the 1st time ever and it was DELICIOUS!!
-For all that God has done, is doing, and has given us!!
I know that God is in control and whatever the future may hold it is in His hands.. His timing.. His guidance and wherever He leads!
