Thank you Lord!!

As I post today I am sitting on my mother in-laws comfy couch all nestled in watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I think I almost forgot how comfy her couch was, how much I enjoy the cinnamon/orange she continues to burn on the stove and how all of our family continues to stop in. I can't wait to hear the sound of Aunt Mary's south Alabama voice and hear everyone screaming Roll Tide tomorrow except for the Powell's (Auburn- W** E****). But today when I woke up I felt at home in Alabama and thought of the many blessings that we are so very thankful for this year.

* Elliot's job and how much he enjoys it
*My sweet angel boys Elliot, Caleb and Cannon Ty
*my job
*our home and our home church
*Elliot- we met in high school and I love him more today than I ever have
*our family in Arkansas, Iowa, South Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming, California and Alabama
*our relationship with the Lord-we didn't really consistently grow up in church and knowing the lord . about five years ago Elliot and I became very active in church and we baptized together in August 2004. We are just so thankful and blessed for our relationship with the Lord. We would not be the parents we are today or the people we are.
*All of our friends from high school to coaching friends... our coaching friends have given us advice and strength that I would have never dreamed of. I (Torri) am so thankful for the new friends I have met throughout this past year with our blog. I love talking and getting advice for coaches wives also. Thank you! (thanks Channa and Leslie)
*My best friend Autumn-we met in high school but went to different schools over 100 miles apart. we have maintained our friendship for over 13 years and we are each others carbon copies. i admire her strength and I look up to her she is so awesome. he husband is in boot camp right now for the army in fort knox, ky and words just can't describe how i love her. she is the definition of "best friend'-thank you Autumn.

Okay, and a few things I am thankful but I could live without...
*Sonic Cokes
*donuts
*oysters-I will probly consume at least 100 in the next few days-gotta love Alabama Thanksgiving
*the beach-Destin
*football-this really could go above but my life would be boring without it!
*yellow box flip flops
*Tyler Candles *homecoming* my fav scent-thanks Channa!
*my laptop
*elliot's iphone-i am way too cheap to buy one for myself
*ponytail holders and tennis shoes
*ipod
*and SNACKS-i love to eat!!

I will post pictures of our Alabama Thanksgiving on Saturday! Oh, and tomorrow remember to say a Roll TIde for Alabama!!!!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!!
