Giving Thanks

Ok ok, I'm not a blogger...i think it's been over a year??  I read several blogs and I get mad when they don't post anything for more than two days! Lol 

And forget about the fake name thing...I'm Christa and she is Nicole.

So everyone is posting on facebook something that they are thankful for everyday this month.  This is my post: I'm thankful for the life that Nicole and I have created.

I used to make wishes on stars, on pennies in a fountain, on an eyelash on my fingertip, any chance I got to make a wish I would wish the same thing: Please let Nicole and I be together and have the life we dream about.

We did it, we made it through. It wasn't easy and sometimes it still isn't. But I wake up every morning and I have no regrets. When I pull into the driveway at the end of a hard day, I'm happy to be home.  She's my best friend, my lover, my teammate,  my dream come true.

I'm not sure anyone believed we could make this happen including ourselves. It seemed like an impossible dream, like we were kidding ourselves to even think that we could do it. But here we are, a house together with 6 teenage girls coming and going on any given day. We have 2  dogs (sometimes 3!), we cook dinner every night. 

We are a team. We have each others backs and I think our girls see that. It's been a long hard road for all of us and we still hit a pot hole every now and then. The girls have good days and bad days, but hopefully they see a relationship where two people love each other and support each other no matter what.  I want them to have what I have, I don't want them to settle. I want them to find their soul mate, their teammate.

Happy Thanksgiving.
