Thankful

I am so very thankful for my family and my sisters. We were all together for thanksgiving this year and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Usually we have the entire family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) at my mom's for thanksgiving but this year was a little different. It was smaller, cozy and somehow just what we needed - more time to ourselves to hang out before Steph packs up and moves. Her family leaves in December and I'm SO not looking forward to it. Her kids are so much fun and I will miss them and her so much. I never fully realized what she meant to me until I was told she isn't going to be here any more... and on the same note it makes me so much more thankful for having Shayna around. They are my life line, my best friends and the Joy in my life. Steph, Shayna and I get along so well and they would do anything for me and I for them in return. Their kids are like my own; I love them dearly. Steven and Collin have been my little buddies lately. I will miss Steven and his Farm stories oh so much. Jaycie bug has always been my favorite niece until Taylie came along and now it's a close tie. Dylan and his fun personality and red hair just brighten my day. I was born lucky into this family and am more grateful than ever for the friendships, relationships and meaning they have in my life. My parents are the knot that hold us all together but my sisters are there tied with me in my soul. I love you Steph and Shayna. You mean the world to me and so much more.
