Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am sitting here at working thinking of how lucky I am to be surrounded by such amazing and true friends. Do you all ever think about how lucky we are? I mean, we have the most amazing families, friends and lives. I am just so thankful for all of you, so I decided to do a little Thanksgiving day post about...well...us.

Over the past year so much has happened to us. If you think back, it was actually about a year ago that we started zeta phi omega. What a wonderful idea. A way of making sure to always set aside time for your friends. It has made sure we do things together, that we remember to have fun and not just let time go by and not see each other. We have grown so much closer during the past year. It is truly amazing.

We have the greatest families in the world. Some of us share families, some of us don't, but they are all truly amazing. As I think of Charing surrounded by her twenty three family members who all came here for the holiday it just makes me smile. With Rhi making fun of the parade with her brothers or us having our Thanksgiving on Wednesday so we could all be together, it just is a reminder of how close we all are to our families. Lucky us.

We of course have our new boy's. Their sweet little faces will be lighting up our days for the rest of our lives. Talk about being thankful. The two of them really show you what amazing things can happen in a year. They are so sweet and perfect. It will be funny to look back in a year when they are both running around like mad and try to remember them when they were this small!

We have had hard times this year, too. With family members being sick or dying. With break up's and heart breaks we have all been there. It is so hard to go through things like that, but having friends around you makes it a little easier.

We have each other, and we always will. We have set a tradition of making time. Thank goodness. What would we do without each other. Who would we laugh with, cry with, celebrate our most important times with? I just do not know what I would do without you all in my life. Thank you for always being there, and for letting me know that you always will. Happy Thanksgiving!
