Thanksgiving

I find myself smiling stupidly today.  I can’t help it.  I am so completely overwhelmed and feel so blessed by the people in my life.  I just have to thank God and humbly give thanks for my amazing family and friends.  It’s weird and a little awkward to say that I am thankful for my brain tumor, and subsequent infertility, but I am.    I’ve never felt so supported and surrounded by love.   I’ve always known that Henry is special, but it’s amazing to see his true character revealed over and over again as he’s loved and supported me throughout this rough little journey.  He’s even embraced my silly little patronus idea.   Just the other day, he bought me a little stuffed turtle while we were out shopping.  Oh my little patronus, how much I’ve grown to love thee. 

His name is Merlin

And, it’s been amazing to see how much others have grabbed on to the idea. 

I got this adorable notebook from one of my favorite friends who's been fighting the same TTC battle that we have. (Love you, Jilly!)  I've been using it to write down inspirational quotes as I see them...


Cute little Jewelry box type thing from my mama who has always found ways to make me smile...


Pin from one of my newest friendzies, Kylee  (we haven't been friends for a super long time, but, I'm not gonna lie, she's pretty awesome :))...


Just got this a few days ago from my wonderfully supportive aunts.  They have ALWAYS, ALWAYS been there for me and I adore them.  I can't wait to put it in my garden in the spring. :)...


And, I couldn't resist...I bought this for myself.  Gotta love retail therapy...

  1. Merlin's pretty cool...but I think he's trying to replace me. He just keeps popping up wherever I am and he smiles at me like he knows something that I don't. Give me the creeps sometimes. **shiver**
