Today, I am joining The Knight's Place for a What I'm Thankful For link party!  I am thankful for so many things, but these are just a few that I am thankful for at this very moment!  I am thankful to be married to an amazing man that works so hard for our family & loves me  even with all my quirks for the last 16 1/2 years! He is the love of my life and I can't imagine life without him! I am thankful to live in a small town where I drive to work on country roads. I love the simple beauty of barns & fields.  I am so thankful for beautiful sunsets. Watching the sun rise & fall remind me of my aunt Nan every single day. Whenever I see the sun peeking through, I feel like she is giving me a nudge that she is watching over me.  I am so thankful for my family; they are my world. I am so blessed to have two healthy beautiful children and a wonderful husband.  I am thankful to have moments to read books with my children in their nice warm beds. Readin...
