Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Wow, this year has been tough (I eloped, dropped out of college, moved to a different State, weaned myself off all bi-polar medication, began a new job, started up a business, and lost a best friend to a car accident) but amidst it all, God has been good and I have even more things to be thankful for! Here's my list--what are YOU thankful for?

I am thankful for:

• A holy and loving God
• my Caleb: a kind and loving, strong and passionate husband, friend and confidant.
• Caleb's family, who live so close and have been a blessing to us DAILY
• my former art instructor, Dorothy Benson, who has taught me everything I know about art and many of the things I know about life
• time and materials to practice my art
  
• my parents and brothers, who despite all I've put them through still love me
• the internet, and all the coolness therein
• my friends, who cry and laugh with me through anything
  
• enough steady income to provide all necessities and some wants
• a rental apartment that allows us to keep our Fluffinator (aka, DC, our very fluffy cat)
• joy and hope, for without them I would be nothing
  

In the spirit of the holiday I will be concentrating on all that I am thankful for and giving this little blog of mine (and me!) a break. I'll be back to posting Monday morning.

Happy Thanksgiving, and God bless!

Peace,

Emily & Caleb
