The one where she has some thoughts on thankfulness...

* This being the month of November and all

calls for a lot of blogs about

THANKFULNESS...*

...So here's to the start of a lot of blogs about things I'm thankful for....

Grandmam:

I'm thankful for you, and the the almost 27 years i knew you...

Not nearly everyone gets to know their great grandma for that long..

You inspire me to live a clutter free, simple life..

I sure wish i would have gotten your talents of sewing and crocheting and all your patience you had when it came to that and whole lot of other things..

I loved to see your eyes light up when you saw my children...

And it always tickled me how you remembered and worried about us when we were travelling to and from seeing you..

You were a prayer warrior.. And i want to be one too..

We knew you soon needed to go.

You were getting miserable down here..

But it was still a little bit of a shock to hear that you were gone.

You didn't get to meet our little Jamison in person, but you saw him on a picture..

And you said.. "He's a chubby baby".. :)

Thank you God for Grandmam,, for the long life you gave her.. and that i got to be one of her great grandchildren...

So travelling a 12 hr trip with a 2 week old wasn't on my to do list..

But i really wanted to go to the funeral, and i was feeling and healing good.. so we took off..

Travelling went really well (another thankful note!!)

And it was quite awesome seeing family again.. and having them meet Jamison for the first time...

The most awesome of all was seeing my sister (who currently lives in Canada doing mission work) again!!! We, of course, missed her family not being here with her, but enjoyed her nonetheless...
