{Thankful}

I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL and safe Thanksgiving weekend!

We will be going to my side of the family this year and I am so excited! My sister will be in town so all of us will be together except for of course my dad and Vickie who are on a mission. I'm sure they will be eating turkey on the beach at sunset! Do I sound jealous?? It's because I am!!

I have so much to be thankful for this year!! We have had a lot of ups and downs and I am so happy that we were able to survive. I always look forward to a new year...It just feels like you can put everything behind you and start over with a clean slate!

I am so thankful for a AWESOME husband! He is my best friend, I feel unconditional love from him and that is the best feeling ever!

I am thankful to have 2 healthy happy boys. Of course they have their moments where they drive me crazy but I love them more than life itself and I would do ANYTHING for them.

I am thankful for my family. Since my mom passed away I have gotten a lot closer to my siblings and we have a lot of fun together.

I am so proud of my dad and Vickie for putting their lives on hold and serving a mission. It may be in Hawaii but it is no walk on the beach! They are SOOOO busy and do it all for free!

My sister is such a great confidant and friend. I can call her for anything anytime of the day and I know she will be there for me. I can always expect a good laugh when we talk on the phone which is almost daily.

I am thankful for my friends. I have developed some great friendships over the past 4 or 5 months and I would never trade it for anything! We can confide in each other and get free therapy, they can cheer me up and make me laugh until I have tears rolling down my face. I'm just going to drop some names really quick......Malinda, Mandee, Mindi, Tara, Lisa, Stephanie and Kaycee. Thank you! I love you girls!

I am thankful for my job. They have been a great company to work for, its a great environment, the people are really nice and the work comes easy to me.

And now the simple things....I am thankful for the diet coke in my mug, chocolate, my I-pod that gets me through the day, My Scentsy warmers that keep my house and office smelling nice, Cafe Rio that I eat regularly (it makes me smile), hats when I'm having a bad hair day, the acrylic nails on my fingers so I don't pick my cuticles, q-tips to clean my ears out (its an obsession), the soft warm bed to sleep in and the clothes on my back.
