Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We're not actually celebrating Thanksgiving today, but on Saturday with my extended family, but I still wanted to wish all of you a VERY Happy Thanksgiving, and also to share with you some of the things I'm thankful for this year.

1. I'm thankful for my family. They make me laugh, then even make me cry, but I love them with everything in me. Today is actually Tanner's Birthday, and Sunday is Ashton's Birthday. They're turning 5 and 4 (respectively). So we're having a Birthday Party in the middle of our Thanksgiving Celebration this weekend!

2. I love my husband. David keeps me sane. He made me a promise on our wedding day, just over eight years ago, that he'd make me laugh every day. And he has. He has the best sense of humor, and always keeps me on my toes. He gives me a shoulder to cry on when I need one, a good laugh (which is ALWAYS needed!), and supports me in every single way.

3. I'm thankful for my health. I know it sounds cliche, but I am. One of my friend's mom is struggling to simply survive. Watching what my friend is going through is killing me. I'm healthy and my family is healthy. It's definitely something to celebrate and be grateful for.

4. I'm thankful for my addictions. LOL! I couldn't resist. My addictions have created two wonderful businesses that stress me out, but also bring me so much joy. Not only do I have a constant creative outlet, I've also had the joy of meeting so many wonderful people by attending all these wonderful online support groups (CandleTech, LP&S, and the many many others I've joined). So I stand up, and proudly say, "Hi, I'm Lindsay, and I have an addiction. An addiction to anything that smells good and everything emollient. I'm obsessed with Essential Oils, and my Fragance Oil Cupboard is definitely overflowing. My collection of oils and butters continually grows (which reminds me that I'm out of Olive Oil.... again). It's overtaken my life, my dreams, my home. But I have no intention of stopping."

5. I'm thankful for all of you. It's been an unbelievable first year. I've gotten to know many of you over this year, and many of you have become friends as well. I'm looking forward to many more years together!

Okay, now back to your regularly scheduled Turkey Dinners! Eat some for me! I have to wait till Saturday....
