I am thankful for...
the basic necessities of life.

our home and our reliable car

enough food to feed my family



As the economy has spiraled downward and we've watched lay-offs happen all over the United States and Boise, even at the Idaho Statesman, we've been so thankful that Justin still has his job. So thankful that we've been able to continue paying for the necessities that we take for granted everyday: housing, food, water, medicine, clothing, electricity etc.

And as the weather has gotten colder and we've been forced to stay inside more we've been especially thankful for our warm heated house, our comfortable soft beds to crawl into on cold nights and...




a living room with comfy couches, blankets and a cozy fire

so that my baby can be comfortable and fall asleep toasty warm
