We love to get personal and share how our Blessings Overflow.  As I stand here at my desk on the Monday of Thanksgiving week (yes I pre-posted this post) sipping on a warm delicious cup of decaf coffee and seeing the dew frozen on our front lawn I can hardly believe the holidays are here ALREADY! This year has flown by incredibly fast for Brandon and I with tons of blessings and challenges in tow. This will most likely sound cliche, but as we get older the years seem to go by faster and faster. We were actually just commenting on how when your 10 it feels like time goes so slow. You just want to be in your 20’s and it takes forever to get there. Then in our 20’s time moved at a great pace – not to fast not to slow. But not that we are in our 30’s, married and running our own a successful business time is slipping by at light speed.

But…time has proven to make the heart grow fonder. Fonder of life, small blessings, dear family members, close friends and precious moments.

 

This year our thankful lists are so very long but we have each condensed them down to our top 10.

Michelle’s Thankful List:

1. I am thankful that my father is still in remission from his cancer one year after his final treatment.
