best gift ever...

we've been talking about what we want for christmas this year and things like that. and i just can't seem to come up with anything. as hectic, emotional, stressful, and completely exhausting the past 5 1/2 months have been, i have all that i need. i love my job and the youth that get to work with. it is so great to be able to have a job that i feel passionate about and that i don't just go to work and put in my 40 hours each week. i have a wonderfully supportive, caring, and loving family. we are blessed to have food, shelter, and the other necessities that so many go without. i am married to the most wonderful man. he is my friend, the one who keeps me grounded, the one who makes me feel beautiful (even on my worst days), the one who challenges me, and the one who loves me just as i am. we were blessed with the "best gift ever" in our little max this past june. he is such a ray of light. i can only imagine how much joy he will bring to our lives in years to come.
