Lots to be Thankful For...

As Thanksgiving Day quickly approaches, we have much to be thankful for. First, and foremost, we are thankful for our wonderful daughter that God so richly blessed us with. She's amazing! She's growing up so quickly, but each day brings an even more amazing milestone to her. She's talking (sometimes too much), running around like a crazy child, and although she's still experiencing sleep problems, our nights are getting gradually better. She is a daredevil! She has no fear and will attempt anything at least once. Her favorite thing to do now is to grab the railing when coming downstairs, pull her feet up off the stairs and swing like a little monkey. She just giggles like its the best thing ever. Her newest saying is, "Happy Hooray!" She says this whenever anything good happens. Secondly, we are thankful for the good health that God has blessed us with. Karsynn's allergy problem is now under control, with the help of medications, and she is going longer amounts of time without needing antibiotics. Bonus: we've kept Bentley (AKA Gigi Dog) and she seems to be doing fine around him. We are also thankful for our many good friends and family that surround us on a daily basis. We have such good people in our circle, people we can truly depend on, in good times and in bad, and that is rare in the world we live in today. Troy and I are both blessed with wonderful, stable jobs. For this, I give God thanks. There are so many people who have lost their jobs or are in fear of losing their job, and that's a scary thing. I can't imagine how uncertain things must feel for them right now. I pray that our economy will stablilize and the rebuilding process will begin. I am thankful for new leadership in our country. Times are hard and CHANGE is needed. President Elect Barack Obama has his hands full come January 28th. I pray that God will give him the knowledge and skill needed to lead our country out of the trouble that we are in. It won't happen overnight, and I know that, but I pray for change to happen as quickly as it can possibly happen, so that we can take back our country. Finally, I am thankful for the many people who visit this blog daily, weekly, or monthly. For those of you who wait, I know how you are feeling. Days and nights are long and hard, but your time is coming. Be patient and know that, "All in God's timing!" He has the perfect child picked out for you and your family. This was written even before you were born. So, with that said, be patient, enjoy life everyday, and keep checking in on Karsynn! Our only hope is to bring a smile to your heart and some peace to your mind with our story. Fairytales Do Come True...believe me!!!

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!
Troy, Sammi and Karsynn
