November is over, and the Christmas season is in full swing at work. As I reflect on all the things I am thankful for, I realize the big things have shaped me, but the little things have defined me. Ty and I got married in Feb 2004. Our first thanksgiving together, I was on bed rest with pre-eclaptia with Corbin. Our 2nd thanksgiving Ty had just had his first surgery for Malignant Melanoma. We spent part of thanksgiving week at MD Anderson seeking a second opinion on treatment. Our 3rd Thanksgiving he was almost Thu he 52 week treatment of interferon, but still pretty sick and detached from Corbin and I. Other than the birth of Kamryn 3 years ago, our thanksgivings have been pretty quiet and normal. I am thankful for those first rough years of my marriage, it helps me to be thankful for the quiet times, my family, my precious children, my husband, and our life.
Kamryn turns 3 on December 14, and Corbin 7 on December 21. As my children grow and develop in their own personalities, I am realizing what it means to be almost 40, and keeping up with 2 active children, Each day I thank God for Penny and Bryan Fox for helping me choose a healthier lifestyle. The "diet" p;program I have been on is so much more than that. There is no magic skinny pill, drink, or procedure. It s a lifestyle change to eating healthier, and providing my body with the nutrients to fuel it and keep it going thru the day.
