Happy Thanksgiving

Hey blogland!!!
So, I'm working hard to get back to my regular blog swing...but it's hard. I am finishing my first semester of law school, and basically my time is not my own.But it's Thanksgiving, and as I have in previous years, I'd like to say what I'm thankful for this year.

Seton Hall Law School has been the biggest blessing of this year, and I am so grateful.As a result I have made some amazing friends, in a short amount of time. I find it pretty incredible because I'm at a stage in life that I feel like my friend roster is pretty complete, but I keep getting blessed with new friends and acquaintances and that is pretty hot.

I am so thankful for my wonderful family...my beautiful children. They are a gift to me, they believe in me and look up to me, and I just adore them. Even when I get fed up, I am enamored with them. They give me something to live for, they push me to show them that WE can be and achieve absolutely anything with the Lord on our side.

I am thankful for my precious nephews, and my darling goddaughters, it always amazes me how I can love children that I didn't carry so powerfully...but I do. I am grateful for my daddy and my brother, the two men who have exhibited the way a man should love a woman. For my beautiful and inspirational grandmothers and all of my other extended family and friends(especially Mohamed).

For my home, my car, my health, my church....I am grateful.
I really don't take much for granted, I mean all the way to my furniture...I am so thankful.

I am grateful for the man in my life. Bay-b, as I affectionately refer to him, is everything that I've imagined and hoped for. He is physically beautiful, his smile is amazing. His dimples, his teeth, his eyes, his physique...beautiful. And yet, all the aesthetics are a bonus. Because he is a man who loves God, he challenges me...he literally pushes me to be who I'm supposed to be, and who he sees me as. He is intelligent, and articulate. He reads extensively and writes creatively. He is a little gangsta too. I mean, he has that street credibility that used to be a real liability, but now seems to just round him out as a person. You know? We are physically apart for a season...and it is very difficult at times.But I'm just overwhelmingly grateful that God loves me enough to cross my path with his.

I am grateful for the Lord, and His love, kindness, mercy, and favor. I can't breathe without Him.

And of course, I'm thankful for a place to blog!!! :)

HAPPY THANXGIVING!!
