On this Thanksgiving I realized there are so many reasons to be thankful this year. I am thankful for...
Mark finding a new job! Mark will start his new job at Allstate the Monday after Thanksgiving. This is definitely a new career path for him but one he is very much looking forward to pursuing. He will be doing risk assessment out of the Allstate offices in Hudson. The perfect location since Mark will be able to drop our little one off at my parents on his way to work.
a great anatomy scan on October 31st. The big news from the anatomy scan of course is that we are having a boy! But most importantly the ultrasound showed that baby's development is on track and that he is doing well. I will have two additional growth scans, one at 25 weeks (Dec. 12th) and another around 31/32 weeks.
great parents who love and support me. This fall has definitely been a time of change for Mark and I. As we experience the bumps in the road and detours along the way, my parents have been right there beside us.
a great place to call home! Mark and I have been renting a condo from one of the pharmacists I worked with at CVS. I can't tell you how many times we have changed our plans to move or stay. It is so nice to have a landlord that is flexible. The last thing we need to worry about right now is where we are going to live.
wonderful and supportive friends. Friends truly our like family for us. We celebrate our victories together and comfort each other when needed.
feeling my little guy moving around. Feeling those little kicks and punches is just a reminder of my baby growing and developing. I can't wait for him to be born.
new tires on the Civic. I know it might be silly but with a winter of commuting from Stow to downtown Cleveland good quality tires become very important.
There are many more things I am thankful for this year but I will leave it at that. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Mark and I will be celebrating with my parents, Uncle Dave and Grandma Gedeon. A small gathering this year but we will be thinking of our family and friends celebrating with others today. We will also be headed over to the Lehrman's house for a visit with Kelly and her family. Looking forward to seeing all the kids, reminds me what I have to look forward to in the future. Tomorrow we will be skipping the Black Friday shopping and head out to visit Grandma Liptak and maybe a rousing game of Bonko.
Finally, today Mark and I are thankful for our health. We think of our friends Angelo and Jen Merendino who are fighting the battle they didn't choose...Jen's battle with chronic cancer. Please check out there story at http://www.angelomerendinophoto.com. A reminder of how precious life is and how love is sometimes all you need.
Happy Thanksgiving!
