I hope y’all had an amazing Thanksgiving.

I know I did.

Brian and I went to Thanksgiving in La Grande again this year with the boys.  They are both so active now, it was great to see them having so much fun at their Nina & Papa’s house.

Thanksgiving this year was bittersweet for me.  It was the first Thanksgiving holiday living in complete truth… protective walls down.  Everyone around the table knew what I had done… and yet, they still loved me and invited me TO their table with love and grace.

This year… “thankfulness” has a new meaning. Thankfulness has life.

I am thankful for:

• *Jesus… and His grace for me.
• *Brian… and his immeasurable forgiveness.
• *Chance Hayden… and all the questions behind his eyes.
• *Paxton Joel… and all he represents.
• *Second chances to make things right.
• *Truth… and the freedom that comes with it.
• *Worship… and that I get to do that with reckless abandon again.
• *Brian’s new job… so we can get back on our feet again.
• *Brian’s parents… who have never stopped supporting us and have adopted me in as their own.
• *My sisters, Renee & Helen… who make my life better.
• *My mom… who gave me life so I can actually experience it.
• *My dad… who helped too.
• *Friends… old and new.

I am blessed… and WAY beyond thankful.
