Day #6
I am thankful for technology. I am so happy that I have the ability to chat/skype/facetime with my husband when he is halfway around the world. It’s amazing that during his last deployment we relied solely on email and now we have all of these other options. I am so spoiled, I can’t imagine only having letters to communicate.
Mckenna: I am thankful that we have money to fly places.
Omar: I’m thankful that I have a soccer pizza party tomorrow!
Day #5
I am thankful for democracy. While I may not agree with what you believe, we are so incredibly lucky that we have the freedom to say what we want and vote for who we want to lead our country. It really is amazing. {fingers crossed for tomorrow!}
Mckenna: I am thankful that we won our robotics tournament!
Omar: I’m thankful that we don’t have school tomorrow!
Day #4
I am thankful for our health. We are blessed to have an incredibly healthy family with no major issues. My grandmother recently had to have surgery and she is already back up and driving around. Your health is something you take for granted, and I am very grateful for it! (except for my jammed ring finger that I have a sinking suspicion may be broken…)
Mckenna: I am thankful that we are going to California.
Omar: I’m thankful that we got to go trick or treating.
Day #3
I am thankful for the Navy. Now, I don’t always love the Navy (especially right now) I am thankful that my husband has a pretty stable job and that we can live comfortably on what he makes. I am also thankful that the Navy sends us on 3-4 year vacations at some of the nicest spots in the world!
Mckenna: I am thankful that we live in Hawaii.
Omar: I’m thankful that we both won our things. (A reference to him winning his soccer game and Mckenna placing in her Robotics competition!)
Day #2
I am thankful for my husband. This man is the perfect man for me. Without pause he makes sacrifices that will keep our family safe. I have never met a funnier person. My husband is my best friend. My partner. Being away from him is one of those bittersweet thing, I realize just how much I love him and need him in my day.
Mckenna: I am thankful that we have a house.
Omar: I’m thankful I have a soccer game tomorrow.
So this has been popping around Facebook for awhile and I wanted to participate as well, basically you just make a post or status every day from today through Thanksgiving with something for which you are thankful. As busy as we can be I want to be able to sit back and really think about how lucky and blessed we are as a family. So. To start my month:
I am thankful for my family. For my happy, healthy, ridiculous family. While we drive each other crazy we are the perfect mix to balance each other out. Both my immediate and my extended family is wonderful and I love them all!
Mckenna: I am thankful for food.
Omar: I’m thankful we are going to California.
