Mommy Musings

Happy Thanksgiving!!  This holiday season has definitely crept up on me, but I am so happy it's here I just kind of wished I lived in Florida so I could be warm and thankful.   I am very excited to spend the morning with my little family of four watching the parade, park my tush in front of some football, and bring the girls over to my parents house for dinner.  2012 has been more than a little trying at times, but I do have so much to be thankful for, today and every day. The one who made me a mom The one who completed our family Family Girl friends Boy friends Old friends And of course the one who holds my hand through everything

Thursday night kicked off our weekend of fun.  Skip and I attended the wedding of one of his old Marine Corps buddies.  There were a few other Marines there as well, along with their wives, who were my "battle buddies" when our men were deployed. It was a great night of eating, drinking, dancing, and reminiscing.  We don't get together all that much these days, but when we do it's like no time has passed.  I love friends that you can just pick up right where you left off. It's been seven years since the boys got back from Iraq.  At the time, the girls and I were just their girlfriends and finances.  Seven years later we're wives, and mothers.  Our men have all since left the Marines and are all cops or firemen.  We've all moved and are starting to set up our roots in different places. And as I sat at the table, thinking about all these things, about how far we've all come, I couldn't help but be grateful, thankful.  When I first met my Marine...

I'm so excited to be linking up with Mandy for her Stop and Smell the Roses vlog to tell you all about what I'm thankful for this week. Make sure to look for the cutest video photo bombing from Charlie!
