Sweet Strawberry Smiles: Thankful!

This year has definitely been full of ups, downs, tears, laughter, and learning.
Everyday has lead us to where we are today so I have to say that I am honestly very thankful for 2012.

I have learned more about who I am as a person, as a mother, as a friend. I have learned how to cry and laugh and accept things I cannot change. I have got to watch my daughter grow and experience new things, make friends of her own, try a new sport, experience school for the first time, turn 4, and even pet a flamingo! She is in that transition between being a toddler and a little girl and I have to say that I am very impressed by what a sweet, gracious, loving little girl she is. She has the sweetest heart, biggest smile, and an eager mind! I am thankful for the wonderful people that surround us, we have been blessed with some of the most amazing friends the world has to offer and seem to make more everywhere we go! I am a firm believer that you can never have enough friends!! I just feel lucky today. So happy. So content. Things may be all messed up and not the way I expected them to be by now but in time I know everything will work itself out and I'm thankful I finally understand that.
