Blessed Beyond Measure

It's that time of year again, where everyone (myself included) posts and blogs about all the things we're grateful for. I've made it a tradition to blog near Thanksgiving about all the things I am grateful for but this year as I write this blog from a hospital bed in Murray I am overwhelmed, almost to the point of tears, by all the blessings in my life.
I am in the hospital because I developed blood clots in my lungs, from a combination of pregnancy hormones, birth control and family risk factors. Although I would much rather be at work right now, I am grateful for modern medicine that was able to discover my blood clots and treat them before they became a serious issue. I am grateful for my husband John, who stayed with me in the ER until 2 in the morning and then got up this morning and took care of Mason while I was at the hospital. I am grateful for my mom and sister, Whitney, who didn't hesitate to jump in the car and make the 2 1/2 hour drive out here first thing this morning. I am grateful for my grandparents who drove 45 minutes each way just to check on me and give me a blessing for 15 minutes. I am grateful for my coworkers who jumped in a took over so I didn't have to worry about the things I was supposed to today and tomorrow. I am grateful for the friends and family that texted me or called me to check on me. I am grateful for my beautiful baby boy who makes me smile even when things aren't great. I have soooo many blessings and things to be grateful for that I could take all day writing down each and every thing I am grateful for but I am overwhelmed with gratitude for everything I have. I have a good life, a great job, an incredible family and friends, a house I love, a pug to snuggle, an amazingly supportive and loving husband and new this year, the cutest, smiley baby boy who lights up my life every single day.
Thank you to everyone who makes my life better, even in the smallest ways, I want you all to know I appreciate every single one of you and the role you play in my life. Thank you for helping me make this one of the best years ever, for supporting me and being there for me! I love you all, and wish everyone the happiest Thanksgiving full of family, food, football and love.
