I am so THANKFUL

Thanksgiving is tomorrow! I love thanksgiving! I love that I can be in a room full of everything I am thankful for! Dad, siblings, Aunt, Uncles, Cousins, Soon to be hubby! My heart is so complete for a whole entire day....I love it! I have a lot to be thankful for this year! 2008 has been good to me! I have been so busy with school work that I have not had time to do what I have really wanted to do....WRITE NICK A LETTER....silly you may think, but I think it is a well deserved letter. You see last year this time, Nick was in Afghanistan. He had been there for about 10 months at this point, and on Thanksgiving last year my sweet Nicholas was drinking pedialyte(yes the drink for babies) for his Thanksgiving meal. IT BROKE MY HEART!! I still remeber his sad, shaky voice over the phone, never surprisingly telling me how much he loved me and to have a great Thanksgiving and that he was so thankful for me! It was a really sad thanksgiving! Are you wondering yet why he was drinking pedialyte? Well a long story short Nick got Malaria while he was in Afghanistan. I believe the entire long story is in an old post...if you are that interested in knowing! So this time exactly last year I was worried sick about my love. I was thousands and thousands of miles away from him, and thought he had died...literally died...I thought I would never hear his voice again...I did not know for sure he had Malaria until after a week of no communication with him ( and we talked everyday before this) (unless there was a blackout), so needless to say, in my heart I knew he had Malaria, but when I didnt hear his sweet voice, I wasnt convinced yet! So my main point of this post is to say how Thankful I am for him! I am thankful for his health, his safety, and his presence!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING.....I know I will be spending every moment with my sweet love! Eating lots of good food (making up for last years pedialyte).
