thankful.

This time last year I had just a tiny little Ethan in my belly. 

I was finally getting over my morning sickness and so we drove from Minneapolis to Michigan to spend Thanksgiving with Brandon's family. 

I will never forget as I sat on the couch that night, I felt what I thought was popcorn in my belly. 

I dismissed it thinking it was just my food digesting and then it happened again. 

It was my boy. 

Those first sweet kicks that would eventually turn into real big kicks were so sweet and precious to me. 

This year that tiny little kicker is a really big kicker and I am so very thankful for him and so much more in my life. 

I am thankful for:

My amazing husband

Our new {family} car 

A safe home 

A loving and supportive family

Living near the ocean

Baby Line { the number I call when I have ANY question at all} 

A sister I call my best friend

Anything from starbucks

peppermint jo-jo's

great friends

my candle from anthropology

a long and hot shower

sesame street { so I can take said hot shower} 

mariners mission viejo

my i phone

I don't know where we will be or what our life will look like next thanksgiving, but I know this.

 I will still have so much to be thankful for.
