Happy Thanksgiving

So much to be thankful for. We enjoyed every minute of our Thanksgiving. Strange how a tragedy like we have experienced changes your perspective. Numerous times
throughout the day I reflected on the past month and a half and how grateful I am that our Heavenly Father's plan is so perfect and always right. I feel so unworthy of the multitude of blessings our family has received. As Mark has said time and time again it is a humbling experience. We know we will never be perfect enough to deserve all the many blessings our Father in Heaven has promised each of us.

Mark was disappointed we were unable to make it to Texas for Thanksgiving. He almost had me convinced he could make the trip but we decided we could not afford the chance of a set back considering the recovery he has managed this far.

I caught him on his way to his truck yesterday early in the morning. He was bundled up and heading to the Calbert's house to help Mark Calbert deep fry turkey's. Although I wasn't very excited about letting him out in 37 degree weather to get into his cold Excursion and drive himself to Calbert's. I knew it was only a few streets over and there is no stopping Mark when he has something he wants to do. He made it there and home without any problems. We had a great family brunch with the boys and Jason and Christi's family and then went to my cousin Niki and Scott's house in Cape Girardeau for a Thanksgiving day feast.

The Aggie's game has been the best medicine of the day. His "Crack berry" has not stopped ringing with friends wanting to here the excitement in his voice. It so nice to see him so excited. Thank goodness the Aggie's put a hurtin' on them Longhorns.

We hope all of you had a blessed Thanksgiving. Gig 'em Aggie!!!

Love,
Stephanie and Mark
