Thankful for Part 2 of Friday





I am thankful that later that day Emily was feeling better and that my cousins and Aunt were coming over for dinner. I am thankful that all I had to do was supply the house and salad and everything else was brought. I am thankful to have MY family living in Tennessee with us. I can't wait for the day my mom moves here too.

We have lots of family in Tn, between Michael and I. Michael has his mom and dad(yes they are still married, isn't that amazing?) His brother Jake and his wife Jenny I am so thankful that Jake and Jenny are back in TN and I get to spend lots of time with Jenny and the kids. Michael's other brother and two of his daughters. Michael also has a cousin who also lives in Clarksville we don't see them too often but it is family. Michael also has another cousin who live in GA that is only 5 hours away and they come up and visit at least once a year. The nice thing about them visiting is they were very close to Michael's family in CA. So we have had Michael's grandma and aunt visit us quite a few times. Off track my family. My cousin Jamie and her husband moved to TN about 3 years ago?? They now have a little girl that is almost a month older then Chloe. I love that they are so close in age. Although Jamie lives almost an hour away the girls and I see Jamie almost every other week. I also have an Aunt who lives in TN. Aunt Tricia which is my moms sister and Jamie's mommy lives in Chattanooga, TN. Again almost two hours but it is nice to have family here of my own.
On this past Friday Aunt Tricia, which the girls love her, Cousin Jamie, Hailey, Cousin Doug and his wife Kelly (they still live in CA), all came to visit. Even Jamie's husband Jeremy drove over from work for dinner too. It was nice to have everyone over and again I did not have to cook. I am so thankful that they all drive to my house to come see Michael the girls and I. Even though Michael had to work super late that night. (Story of our lives). Anyways I have always loved spending time with my Aunt and it is so nice that her and Jamie live close and we can again spend time together.
For these things alone I am blessed. I am blessed with a house, a couch, and a table big enough for all of us. but if Jamie has one more kid we could bust!!! But will make room.
