Thankful in November - Day Four

Today, I am thankful for my dad. My “Pops” is a wonderful man.

He worked hard for our family, and he has taught me so much during my life. I remember him helping me with homework as a kid, I remember us fighting like cats and dogs when I was in high school. He and I have been through thick and thin, and I can say he is one of my most trusted advisors in life. I LOVE this man so much! I love his smile. He’s had one heck of a year this year – more surgeries than I can count because of a broken leg due to a careless driver. He’s kept a positive outlook since the beginning.

Today also happens to be my dad’s birthday. Happy Birthday Pops! I love you!!!

Thankful in November - Day Three

Day Three! COOPER!! I’m thankful for this little dude more than you or he will ever know! My firstborn – who holds my heart in his hands.

He is the most rambunctious, crazy, funny kid I’ve ever met. He has an imagination bigger than the room I’m sitting in. Cooper James Johnson is full of life. He loves his mommy and daddy, his brother and sisters, his family, his friends, his neighbors and his imaginary friends. He’s can be as sweet as sugar and can be as mean as a snake. He makes our lives fuller because he is in it. I cannot wait to see you grow and change, to become the man God intends you to be.

I LOVE YOU my little buddy!

Thankful in November - Day Two

Day Two – My mama.

I LOVE this picture of us together, even if I’m on my phone. My mama is so darn stinkin' special to me, I don’t know how I could live without her, and I hope I don’t have to find that out anytime soon! She is ALWAYS there for me anytime I need someone to talk to, she knows just what to say to comfort me and she is the best listener on the planet. She is the most kind, caring, thoughtful human being that I know.

Mama – Thank you for being so amazing. I am so thankful to call you my mom and my friend. I love you!
