Blessed this Thanksgiving!

Today was a wonderful day! We spent it at Steve's parents in Sevierville and Philip, Holley, Lauren and Wayne (Holley's brother) came up for half the day. Also the neighbors with their 21-month old son came over for a while. We played cards, ate, talked, ate, played with the kids, ate, watched movies, and ate some more!! It was such a beautiful day with the crisp air and sky so blue.

I found myself terribly missing Sarah today, wishing that she was here with us on this Thanksgiving day. But also realize how blessed we are right in this moment and that she will be here next Thanksgiving and for each one to come. I realize that for some reason our Sarah isn't ready for us yet and God's timing is perfect.

We have so much to be thankful for! Our health, our family, our home, our jobs, our freedom and so much more. I am thankful that we are able to have the choice to adopt and that God placed it in our hearts!

Sarah, we miss you today, we mentioned your name so MANY times. Nana Debbie is so excited about your arrival and can't wait to see you toddling around her house with all the dogs and cats. Lauren, Cannon, and Amber, your cousins, are so ready for you to come home from China. Lauren asked today, "when is Sarah coming from China?" It makes me so happy to know that you are coming into our family who is so ready for you to be here. We all love you and long for your arrival!
Thank you, God, for all the blessings in our life! We are eternally grateful!
