The Omness Family!

So, another Thanksgiving has come and gone. I was fortunate enough to not have to work on Thanksgiving, so instead I got to spend it with family!
On Wednesday night, we went to Lowell to Damian's mom's best friend's family dinner (did everyone follow that?). There was a ton of good food, and it was nice to catch up with some people we hadn't seen in a while.
On Thursday, we went down to South Haven to my Grandma Peggy's house for a late lunch. Again, a ton of really good food. It was really nice because my uncle and his family came from Iowa. Also, another one of my cousins was there as well with her husband and kids. Celeste (my cousin) is due with her 3rd child (a boy!) about 2 weeks before I am due. So it was nice to talk to her about babies, and we had an impromptu baby shower. It was a great day. And, it was really good to be able to see Grandma Peggy before she left for Florida this week!

I also was able to reflect a little about how blessed I really am. Despite our struggles, we are so very fortunate and so blessed. I am deeply Thankful for all of our family and friends who do so much to support us and love us. I'm thankful we have enough to eat and are able to have a roof over our heads. I'm not sure how sometimes, but for the most part we are able to have enough to make ends meet each month. I have an awesome husband and a fantastic daughter, both of whom I love deeply, and who love me in return.
It's so easy sometimes to wish that we had more, or a little more wiggle room in our budget, etc. However, we truly have so much and are so blessed!

And, still no pictures because I still don't have my cord!
