Thanksgiving

Good Morning~ AND it is a good morning for me. I am at work right now but I get to leave at 11:30am. I have been excitedly waiting for the Holiday's and this is the first one :-) Shea's grandma and aunt have flown in from Redwood City and will be staying for a week. Right after work I will be going to pick up Shea and then we are off to Trader Joes to get the ingredients for my home made apple pie. I love baking!

Last night I had a dream and woke me up so upset. First a little background, I hope you all know I work with the deaf and hard of hearing community. I use American Sign Language all day everyday, so that is a big part of my life. So my dream last night was I was losing my hearing and going completely deaf. I was at a church service and I couldn't hear the pastor talking so I decided to leave. My friend chased after me and that is when I broke down and started crying. I told her I was so scared to lose my hearing. I would never be able to hear my husband's voice again or hear my children's voice. I began listing all the sweet sounds that really touch my heart that I don't pay too much attnetion to everyday. That was when I woke up and just wanted to hug my husband. I could hear him breathing and I could hear our kitten purring.

This was at 2:30am, so I got up for a little bit and just listened. Sat quiet and listened to the miracles God had around me- I could hear the rain drops and they all sounded different depending on what they landed on. I could hear the little creaks in the house and just all the sounds of life. I'm so thankful for my hearing and the things that make noise for me :-)

I guess this is what I am thankful for for Thanksgiving.

The other thing I am thankful for is my relationship with my mom. She and her bf Jim are coming to visit for Christmas and I am so excited about it. They are actually coming the day after Christmas and spending the weekend. YES! Two Christmases.

Well, here is a picture I took last night of little Jazzy. I know the picture is dark (my phone doesn't have a flash) but she is laying next to the fish bowl on the counter she shouldn't be on. BUT...so cute!

Love you all and hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
