My precious friends and fellow Bama girls, Lauren and Kalyn have created a new link-up on Mondays called Coffee and Conversations where we will discuss different topics each week. This week, the topic is what we are thankful for this year.This year I am thankful for so many things.

I am thankful for a loving and forgiving God.

I am thankful for my incredible husband who is always encouraging and has the most positive attitude of anyone I know.

I am thankful that things are more calm now then they were this time last year.

I am thankful that two of our close friends are about to take their vows in marriage and we get to be a part of it.

I am thankful for my family who keeps me laughing and encourages both Ryan and me.

I am thankful for a doctor who prays for me.

I am thankful for my sweet puppy, Pippa, who is always waiting for me with lots of puppy kisses.

I am thankful for Brittany, who has been the most loyal and trusting friend I’ve ever had. I can tell her anything and know that she won’t tell the world. That’s rare. I can always count on her to pray for me during tough times. And I’m thankful for her sweet baby, B, that will arrive in April!

I am thankful for my sister and our Pretty Little Liars dates every Tuesday.

I am thankful for my sweet nephews who are both crawling now.

I am thankful that both of our cars are now paid off!

Finally, I am thankful for you, my readers and followers. I have made so many wonderful friends through this little blog and it has been so wonderful getting to know each of you.

What are you thankful for?
