Jelley Jam 2009 - How grateful I am!

It was another Thanksgiving to remember as 50+ Jelley's gathered in Decatur, AL for the Annual Jelley Jam! We stayed again at Joe Wheeler State Park on the lake in cabins.  It was so fun to be with everyone, especially for Casey and I since we hadn't been in  2 years.  All of the kids are so big and more are being added every year.  We were often asked when we would be adding to the number.  I guess we'll have to keep everyone hanging on that one.  Hopefully, we will have a boy one day so little Andy won't be all lonely being the only baby boy!  

We had to leave Kirra home while we were away.  She had to get spayed.  She did great and is at home recovering.  She gets her stitches out early next week.  She's getting some rest right now as I blog. 

I thought often this weekend about all that I am grateful for.  What a gift to think about those who have spoken so much truth and love into mine and Casey's life.  We are so thankful for each of our dear friends and family that usher us into deep friendship and a closer relationship with our Savior.  And how thankful I am for Jesus choosing to tabernacle inside of me and taking me from death to life.  And as we say in the presbyterian church, Thanks Be To God!  I'm so excited for the season of Advent that is ahead and am thankful for God's precious gift.

Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll!
