What are you Thankful for???

How many times have I heard that question this weekend??

My answer is always different, but I have almost said..."how much time do you have?" a couple of times...so, so many things to be give thanks for. First and foremost in my mind at all times is the strength that God has given Eli and our entire family to fight this battle. We are three years into this, and my family is great!!! I have a peace about all of this, and such excitement about seeing this chapter of our lives coming to an end. January 3 will be our three year anniversary...Did ya'll think we would get here?? My family is strong, and I am too.

Eli is amazing. He is about to play football here on Daniel Island just like "the brothers" and is excited about it. He is being coached by one of his friend's dads who is way cool, so I know he is going to have a blast.

The hot topic in our home at the moment is our Make a Wish trip in December to Disneyworld. Because we really have not been on a real "vacation" in three years now, I don't know who in our family is more excited. The folks at Make a Wish are really wonderful, and as I told our trip coordinator, Allison, my hope is that this trip is the most lasting memory that Eli will have of this entire journey. How great would that be??? He already vaguely remembers 2007 (a year that John and I will NEVER forget)...thanks God!!!

Our lives stay really busy. We are walking again in the Myrtle Beach Marathon to raise money for LLS. Please donate if you have time. This is our last year of walking, I would really like to beat our goal of 7K.

Thanks for checking in, and thanks for the prayers. I am comforted by the knowledge that we have such amazing prayer warriors...as well as strengthened!!

Thanks for checking in.
