Happy Thanksgiving!!

First let me start out by saying Happy Thanksgiving to all!!! This year I have so much to be thankful for. This time last year, Thanksgiving was split between being with my mom's family and in Charlotte with my best friend Mary, who had just been diagnosed with Leukemia. This past year I feel like I have matured as a individual and as a friend, and wanted to share some things I am thankful for:

I am Thankful for....

- God, for giving me strength to believe in miracles

-EVERYTHING God has done for me and my family
