Being Thankful Today....

Today, Thanksgiving 2007,
Today, Is my passed Great Grandma Nell's Birthday.
Today, When I woke... I thought many thought of her...
Today, I miss her more than ever before...

It is so strange to think that she has been gone for years now, & I still think of her... and miss her so often! While my grandma was living in the nursing home, I would visit her often. I remember the days I left there feeling so joyful and calm... because of the conversations we had together - And then there were days, that I would barely make it the car before tears would rush to my cheaks- I lived in granny's house while she was sick & took care of things. I always tried to do things like she did, except for cooking... because NO ONE... could ever measure up to her apple pies & home made pickles-

Happy Birthday Grandma Nell! I miss you very much!!!!

The Season of Thanks!

Troy and I were talking just the other day about how lucky we are to still have our grandparents! My Grandma Lois & Papaw Melby just live up the road from us & we hang out with them several times a week. Yeah, I know what you're thinking...."How much fun could it be to hang out with you grandparents?"-

Well, we have a BLAST. We play cards and watch Wheel of Fortune and Granny fixes us dinner (yum yum)... But most importantly, we are making memories that will be in our hearts forever. I know that God has blessed me with a beautiful, kind, loving family. And I am so thankful for to have had a chance to create wonderful memories to cherrish throughout my life!!!!

I LOVE YOU MAMMAW and PAPAW- You guys are the best friends a person could have!!!
