I hope that you all enjoyed some massive amounts of food and are having difficulties getting off of the couch right now. We are just now recovering from our turkey comas.
Although we weren't around any of our extended family this year, Joe, Madelyn and I enjoyed a very relaxing and happy day in our home and with our friends. We were lucky enough to be invited to our friends Rashelle and Cody's house for dinner and it was delicous! Maddy is still too young to enjoy her very own turkey dinner but she seemed pretty happy with milk as a substitute :)
There are so many things that I am thankful for, I could probably go on for days. But, since no one wants to read for that long I'll just highlight. I am thankful for:
- For the United States Armed Forces and that my amazing husband is part of such an honorable group of men and women.
- For phone and internet allowing me to stay in touch with those I love across the country.
- For the amazing friends we've made out here in Hawaii, there is no way I could have made it through this last deployment without you all!
- For my parents, thank you for raising me the way that you did and teaching me right from wrong. I feel that there needs to be more parents like this these days.
- For my puppy dogs, they light up my day with their silly antics. I don't know what we'd do without them
- For living in a land where I am free to practice religion and praise my God any time and way that I choose. So many are not so lucky.
- For the amazing family that I married in to. The Marshalls are some of the most caring, fun and down-right good people that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and am SO blessed to call them family.
- For the opportunity to live in the beautiful state of Hawaii. It's just plain incredible.
- For the absolutely incredible man that I get to call mine. He is my rock, my best friend and I honestly don't know what I would do without him. He suprises me daily with how great he is with our daughter and for this I can't thank him enough.
- Last but not least, I am so ridiculously thankful for my beautiful, amazing, funny, charismatic, smart little Madelyn Grace. She is my entire world and I don't know how I ever felt complete before she blessed our lives. She truly is the love of my life :)
It's been a great day and my bed is calling my name. I am hoping that you all are enjoying the holidays as much as we are around here!
With all our love,
The Marshall Family
