My home!

Today I’m thankful for my beautiful home.

I’m thankful for the real hard wood floors and big walk in shower. I’m thankful for all of the flowers that we haven’t managed to kill yet. I’m thankful that we get to live in this beautiful home and somehow manage to pay our mortgage payment every month. I’m thankful for the gas fireplace that keeps us warm on these cold Florida nights. Okay, okay. . . we have to keep the windows open to even have the fireplace going, but it’s still nice. I’m thankful for the huge backyard that will someday be filled with kids laughing, swings swinging, and treehouses to hide in. I’m ever-so-grateful to  our house for not needing any major repairs since we moved in. I’m thankful for PLENTY of storage and wonderful neighbors. I’m thankful it sits tucked away nicely in a cul-de-sac. I’m thankful for the smell, the sight, and the overwhelming amount of love felt when I walk in the door. Mostly, I’m thankful God has blessed me with such a beautiful home that I can take pride in every day.

You do have a lovely home. The backyard is gorgeous and you and Kevin have done a great job decorating. I love it. You will love it even more when the little diaper clad rug-rats mess all the perfection up and make it more lovable than livable. Enjoy the quiet of now, and anticipate greatly the intoxicating chaos of kids.
