i am thankful for being a canadian and having the opportunity to stay home and nuture my babies for a full year. now that i have kingston, my outlook on life has changed dramatically. i am thankful for the changes he has made in me. never again will i not be happy with just being me. it feels so special to be the one person in my little boys life that he relies on 100%. he cant talk, but through his actions, his smiles, his giggles i know he loves me and that alone is enough to make me smile each and every day. life passes by so fast; kingston reminds me every day to sit back and enjoy the moments we share.
i am so thankful for my husband. without cameron my life would crazy. he does so much for us and every day i remind myself of those things. he is a provider, he strives to achieve high goals, he is a dreamer who dreams big and wont settle for anything less. he has provided us with a home that fits our needs, cars that take us to fantastic destinations, and provides us with all the love and support anyone could ask for...especially when we need it most.
i am thankful for my family...all of them. i am thankful that we are a big family with a diverse group of personalities. while we dont always share the same opinions or outlooks, we will always share the unconditional love that a family shares. i sometimes wish we could turn the clocks back five years because those really were some of the best times we shared as a family. things have dramatically changed, but i try to be optimistic that things will improve again....slowly but surely they will.
i am thankful for my inlaws...mom, dad, brothers & sister. i am so blessed to have married into the martyn family. they are such hard workers and have taught me so much about life.
i am thankful for my friends who are there when i need to vent, when i need to laugh, when i need some fun and relaxing time. like any relationship, friendships have their up and down times but things always work themselves out because there are far more good times than there are difficult ones. sometimes it seems like my friends just "get me" more than my family (and sometimes husband) get me. i cherish all of my friends and am so thankful to have them in my life.
this year we dont get to have the traditional thanksgiving turkey dinner. i am sad we wont get to enjoy it, but today i am absolutely most thankful for our upcoming vacation. while we wont have our turkey dinner in the company of our full families, we will be creating many amazing memories on the beaches of the mayan riviera! we are staying at the grand sunset princss resort in the platinum club. we will have 24 hour room service, unlimited food, endless drinks and nothing to worry about!! i feel like right now, more than ever, i need a vacation. i need some time to just get away and enjoy my little family.
