I am thankful for......

So many things.

I am thankful for my lapband, my parents who helped me get it, the family who gets it, and the husband who never, ever makes me feel bad if he takes me out to dinner and I just can't eat. I am thankful for the pounds lost and health gained.  I am thankful for the support I have found online.... on my Twitter page, and from all of YOU pushed the little follow button because you thought I might have something interesting to say.

I am thankful for my daughters.  All four of them are beautiful, amazing girls.  They mind their manners, they mind their momma, they are all 4.0 students and they are so kind to each other and the people around them.  I lve those girls so much.  They make my job as a momma so easy.

I am incredibly thankful for my family.  I am so lucky to have a drama-free family where we really just all get along and enjoy one another's company. 

Did I mention my husbands?  My ex, who was an ass, who made be learn to be incredibly strong and independent. How can I not be thankful for that?  Life lessons are life lessons, even if they come with heartache.   But even better is my new husband ... my Marine.  I am thankful he wouldn't take no for an answer. He has such an infectious personality that the girl who swore she was never getting married again couldn't say no twice. :)  He takes such good care of us.... me and my girls.  Where our lives were once filled with anger and anxiety, now there is laughter. And I love it.

Above all, I am thankful for blue sky and sunshine and I will be forever happy when I get my summer back. :)
