Thankful Thursday: Family Edition

I thought with Thanksgiving coming up I would do a post about what I am the most thankful for and that would be my family...

Introducing Johnny aka the husband

Johnny and I have been together for seventeen years. They have not all been easy years but we have survived them together and grown stronger. He is the funniest, sweetest,

smartest and most talented person I know

I thank God everyday that he put Johnny in my life...he is my best friend in the whole world!

The Kids aka Brinsley and Noah

some of the greatest kids around and the best of friends

Brinsley aka the daughter~born April 21st, 1993 and to answer a few questions out there no I was not twelve when I had her I was actually 19 young but not that young!

Brinsley is great she has her daddy's crazy sense of humor, a huge heart and as smart as they come I am very honor and proud to call her my daughter!

Noah aka the son~ born June 9th 1996 Noah is a wonderful kid he is smart and very kind spirited. He loves to learn new things, he can probably hack any computer around and would not hurt a fly. I love this kid he is the best son a mother could ask for!

I am so blessed to call this my family!
