Grateful

I know that Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which makes this blog correlate with the whole idea of being thankful, but it is not necessarily Thanksgiving that has caused me to write it. I have grown to understand and realize just how much I am loved and appreciated. I was talking with a friend yesterday about certain things going on in my life and she reiterated the fact that you don’t realize how many people love and appreciate you until they lose you.

So...I finally decided to check my blog and noticed that I had started this blog about a month or so ago....hence the title 'Grateful' and now it is Christmas Eve. I really need to updated my life more on this lovely blog. Although I would say that I do have a good reason as to why I have been slacking in my blog. Many of you may be aware that I was planning on moving back to California, but things with my employment fell through about 5 days before I was suppose to move back. So gratefully I was able to keep my job with the State(they LOVE me ;) ). For the past 2 months, I have spent the month of November getting ready to move back and then the month of December getting back into the swing of normal life, all the while getting ready for the holidays.

I was able to spend thanksgiving with my family, which was wonderful(which I have not done in 4 years) and then I was able to spend the remainder of the weekend in Havasu. It was quite fabuous! Here are a few pictures from my Thanksgiving weekend in Rancho along with the following weekend while Lake Havasu.

Now that the holidays are over - with the exception of New Years, I hope that I am able to keep my blog more up to date especially with pictures!!!
