Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the inspiration, Ash!

I'm thankful for so many things.

• My husband. He makes me laugh and lets me be completely myself. People probably think we're crazy when we're out in public, but we don't care!
• My job. For a five year old who, today, was my helper and didn't throw any fits. For infants who comfort distraught older children. For learning to handle and engage with a child with autism. For sweet baby kisses. For getting to see, firsthand, the changes God can make in someone's life. For being reminded every day what a good and gracious God we serve. For getting to love on kids. For my amazing boss and coworkers who stand up for and support me!
  
• For my family. They are so strong and amazing and inspiring. I am encouraged by their incredible faith in God.
  
• For french press coffee (I'm having it for the first time in a year right now!)
• For the Plus One Christmas CD. They've never steered me wrong.
  
• For cheap haircuts that come with head massages.
• For David's family. I'm thankful they're in the state!
• For our apartment. It's warm and cozy and feels so much like home.
• For Bloom. Love it.
• For my little car (Baby Mzungu) that just drives so well in the snow!

(Our Christmas decorations... Meager, but heartfelt)
