One Tough Month

On November 18th my grandma, 79, passed away after a very short battle with lymphoma cancer. She became sick very suddenly and spent two weeks in the hospital before passing away. Her passing hit me hard! She was my last living grandparent! She was a very special person in my life. We did all the normal stuff a grandma and her granddaughter would do. I will miss her so much!! We buried my sweet grandma on November 21st, the 14 year anniversary of buring my dad. What an emotional day it was!!! Still to this day--fourteen years later, it is still very hard for me without my dad. I think about him all the time and miss him so much. I know this will be case with my grandma, as well.

On the morning of November 18th, before my grandma passed away, we welcomed a new baby into our family. My niece, Sadie Brooklyn was born. She and Kristie are doing great. She is just precious and perfect!! It was nice to get to spend Thanksgiving with our new little blessing.

It was good to spend all of Thanksgiving week in El Campo with my family. Holidays are especially tough after the loss of a family member. I am very thankful for the close and supportive family I have. We had a good Thanksgiving together. It was very different without Grandma but we are thankful she is no longer suffering. She is in a great place. We love her and will miss her dearly!!

I thank God everyday for each and every blessing in my life. Life is one big adventure ~ You never know what tomorrow will bring!

I am so thankful for my wonderful husband....

and my two little turkeys...


and so much more!!
