Blessed!

Ya know, I never realized just how blessed I am until it almost hits you right in the face. I don't have lots of money, I don't have lots of expensive clothes and I don't have a brand new car, but I am one lucky girl. I sat at Christmas Eve service tonight and realized that my life is no where near what I thought it would be. I never thought my parents would divorce, I never thought I would be in school at 23, and living with my mom still-but I am so lucky. I have the most wonderful family. I am not including the word friends, because my friends so often surpass as friends and I consider them my family. My "biological" family is absolutely wonderful. I have the sweetest, kindest, most loving family a girl could ask for. And my extended family is so wonderful, I feel like God chose them especially for me. I was born an only child and now have these women that I love like sisters. Elizabeth, Christina and even little Emily. I couldn't be luckier. I thank God every day for what he does for me.
