I've been scarce in Bloggetyville lately. Our life is very full with two children in traditional school, two whom I homeschool, Scouts (girl and boy), wrestling (Harrison, not me and Rob), church plant, learning and growing in my roles as wife and mother, etc., etc., etc. It certainly isn't that I have nothing to say, or that I don't want to blog, but I've had to make choices with my time, just as we all do.

We just celebrated Thanksgiving, and I'll let y'all in on a little secret: I like Thanksgiving better than Christmas. Really. I like Christmas- don't get me wrong; I just like Thanksgiving more. I think there's less pressure or something. At any rate, I thought it would be good for me to enumerate some reasons for thankfulness this year. The list is by no means exhaustive.

• our new (to us) home
• sweet fellowship of believers in the church plant
• Harrison
• Eli
• Sophia
• Kirk
• Rob- you're the best, and I love you. But you get your own post on our anniversary.
• friends
• family
• salvation
• growth
• debt-free living within reach in 2009
• contentment

I'd love to read some of your reasons for being thankful.
