Thankful Thoughts

This year, Reagan and I have so much to be thankful for.  Though, this week off from school (I definitely missed my little pre-k cuties) went by in an absolute blur.  With so many different families that we needed to see everything just flew by so fast, though this week we were able to reflect on all that God has given us and we have been so blessed!

We are so thankful to be back in San Antonio with our family.  It is so nice to spend time with all of them and just pour into each other.  We love family dinners and getting to see our family whenever we want... so special and so wonderful.

We are so grateful for our jobs.  Reagan absolutely loves his and still has the ability to work and also work on his seminary degree.  I love my job and all the wonderful people I have met and the opportunity this year has given me to get my foot in the door for a full time teach job next year... hopefully fingers crossed and praying I pass my certification test on Jan. 3rd -- would LOVE all the prayers I could get!

We are grateful for our friends.  Though we miss those that live far away, we are grateful for old friends we are getting to reconnect with and our sweet friends that we are getting to keep in touch with in different states thanks to technology!!

We are grateful for our wonderful townhouse and the memories that we are making here.  Even though we are looking forward to the day that we will buy our first home, we are loving the coziness of our townhome.

We are so grateful that Jesus went to the cross for us and died for our sins... what a gift we were given that we did not even deserve.  How gracious our Father is -- so grateful for grace and unconditional love!

We are grateful for the availability to travel and see Reagan's mom and step-dad and sisters.  Though, we are hoping that this summer will bring them closer and that there will not be anymore plane rides for us in our future because they will be living in San Antonio, Texas!!

We are grateful for good food, friends and laughter... what could possibly be better?!

We are grateful for this new season of life and the plans God has already shown us and we are anxious to see what is to come in the next seasons of life.

We are so grateful for the love God has given us as a couple.  I am so grateful that my husband loves me through the good and the bad and I love him the same way.  It has been such a great journey (not easy) but we are loving learning how to love each other more and having each other to share the journey with along the way.

We have so much to be grateful for and we feel blessed beyond measure.  We thank the Lord each day for the many blessings that He has given us and we cannot wait to see what life holds for us in the future!  I hope everyone has had a Wonderful Thanksgiving holiday getting to spend time with the ones they love most and making memories -- we definitely have enjoyed our week of loving on each other and loving on the ones we love most!



Psalm 107:1 “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.”
