5 Things I'm Grateful for

[armymom104625]

1) My very happy and blessed children- daughter Whitney(3) and my son Michael(1). Without these 2 beautiful angels I would cease to exist. They bring constant light and happiness to my life. I am forever grateful for them.

2)My Husband-This man joined the Army full time active duty and moved 2100 miles away from everything he had ever known to give our family a chance at a good life. He is the sweetest man i have ever known. He took my daughter in and never once let the fact that she's not blood stop him from loving her. He has given me a reason to believe that there are still good guys out there. He is my best friend in the whole world and i love him completely.

3)My health- I have had a misscarriage and cysts and bronchitis but I am still healthy enough to get up with my children every morning and care for them. I am grateful that even when i had the miscarriage that it didnt effect my ability to have more children and that I am not as ill as most members of my family. Yes I have fibromyalgia but I am alive. And Healthy.

4)My In-Laws- Not most people would say this but my in-laws are the best thing to ever happen to me. My mother-in-law gave me a real mom for the first time in my life. She took me under her wing and taught me all i needed to know about being a good wife and mother. She is one of my closest friends and I couldnt ask for a better mother-in-law. My father-in-law is mean sometimes but he is the hardest working, kindest, stubborn man I know and I couldnt be happier that my husband is turning out just like him. He loves our children and accepted me just because his son loves me. We started out rough but now he is an important member of our family.

5)All my friends- I dont have very many but the ones I do have are the best. I couldnt ask for better. All my friends on here have given me a place to go when i feel alone or lost or just need someone to talk to. We have all been there for each other and I am grateful for that.

 I have many things to be grateful for. Sometimes I forget that but i know i couldnt ask for a better life.
