Happy Thanksgiving………….
November 27, 2008Today is such a wonderful day to reflect what we are thankful for! I am thankful for many many things. Right now I am going to take the time to reflect on those things. I am thankful for my husband..without him I would not be where I am today. He is my rock, my heart, my soul. He encourages me everyday…even when I am cranky :-) I only wish I had half of his drive & courage. He is very smart & sometimes when I’m having a bad day the things he says to encourage me…I think…where the heck did he find those words to say that. Well he was raised by the absolute & best…most wonderful parents in the world!!!! He is there for me with the good & the bad of my emotions & trying to have a successful business. He is the most amazing husband & father!!! I’m so lucky to have found my soulmate!!!! Believe me though…it hasn’t always been a box of chocolates!!!! ![]()
I am thankful for my children. Oh yes..there are days I think…why did I have kids! I’m not a mommy mom by no means…but as my mother-in-law would tell me…I am an AFFECTIVE mom. I don’t let my kids get away with much. I have NO patience & feel badly when I get frustrated with them. My boys are GREAT kids though & I am proud to say they are MINE!!!!!!!! Without them…life would be boring.
I am thankful for my health. I thank God for my health. I pray he gives me many more years of health & happiness!!!!
I am thankful for all my friends & family in my life. When there are days that I am frustrated & down…you are there to pick me up & get me back on track.
I am thankful for my clients. Without you all…where would my biz be! Well…definitely not succeeding :-) I meet new people all the time & the best part is…at the end of the day…I have made a new friend!!!!!
To all my photo buddies! I am thankful for you all in my life. I have made quite the friendships over the past few years on my photo journey. Some of you I have met & others…have solely been online friendships…which one day I hope to meet you.
God…I am thankful for him. Without him..I wouldn’t even be here. He has seen me through all the hardships & the blessings in my life!
Life is like a box of chocolates…you never know what you’re gonna get. I love Forrest Gump..haha!
Or we could say…. Life is like a basketball….you never know if you’re gonna make it! hahahaha..that one makes me laugh…my son Dakotah come in the house the other day & said that to me. I said..where did you hear that from…he said..Tanner(our neighbor boy)! The boys were outside playing basketball….hmmm..guess talking about life..LOL!!!!
Incase I’ve forgotten anyone…EVERYONE & EVERYBODY I am THANKFUL for in MY life!!!!!!!!!!
A shot I took at a wedding. They are nephew’s of the bride & she bought them those cool shades! Oh man did this attire ever fit their personalities!!!! To the parents of these boys & their family….we love you!!!!!!!!!
Now for business stuff. Oakstream Photography will be closed till Monday. No phone calls or emails will be returned till next week! I am taking this time to spend with MY family!!!! Hope everyone has a great day!!!!!
