Giving Thanks

It is the time of year where people reflect on their lives and give thanks, at least according to facebook.  So, I'm jumping on the bandwagon, but instead of 30 days of thanks, I decided to just blog about it.  I am so thankful for the many blessings in my life, especially my beautiful family.  Last weekend we took family portraits at the park, so I thought that this would be the perfect time to start introducing photos to my blog.  

Here are a few of my favorites:

My favorite men!

My Love

The Gonzalez Family

I am blessed to have three handsome little boys (and a big one :).  Caiden, Trey and Ryan brighten my days; HR is my rock and biggest fan!!!  I pray his love and understanding never fade!!!  I also have some amazing women in my family.  My mother and sisters would (and try their best to) give my sons the world.  I can't wait to be an Auntie and return the love ;)

I am thankful for my ex-husband, without whom I would not have my oldest son!  We had some ups, and definitely some downs, but our relationship has grown and changed.  I am happy to say that we have found the balance between being "exes" and being "friends."  He is a wonderful father, and I could not ask for anything more for Caiden!

My back and I are still at odds, especially during this time of year, but besides that I can't complain.  This time last year would have been a different story, as I was still in the midst of recovering from pregnancy complications. Back to the present....I workout fairly consistently and I eat well.  That being said, I am thankful for good health.

I am thankful to have the opportunity to continue studying, for the merit scholarship awarded to me (which means my long nights and hard work were not in vain), to have a beautiful home, to provide and be provided for, for all that I have and even that which I don't.
