i am thankful for...

well it's the holidays once again, and i thought i would dedicate this post to thanksgiving and what i'm thankful for this holiday season, we'll i guess year round.  andrew politely reminded me last night how important it is, so here we go:


1. health - this to me is the single most important thing! without it i have nothing. so today i'm thankful that besides my hypochondriac tendencies, i'm a healthy girl!
2. andrew - i have someone by my side for life to share firsts, memories and everyday with!
3. family - even though we have our flaws and we can be a little strange, i have them all!
4. friends - friends near and far, those who i'm close with and not so much, i'm thankful for you being by my side and sharing fun memories with!
5. kaia - i could include her in my family one, but i think she deserves her own.  she loves us unconditionally and sticks by our side.  you may make mommy mad sometimes, but i still love you bubbas!
6. job - i love the people i work with and my place of work! from workout sessions, to birthday lunches, to happy hours to volunteer groups to adventures around, this is the best group and i'm happy to be here!  it helps pay the bills and then some!
7. the sun! - today is a gorgeous day here in colorado, thanks to you mr. sun!  you've brought joy and smiles to us all on this holiday - beats snow any day.
8. the good ol u.s of a - even though i know my little family and i will eventually leave this country for greener pastures, i'm thankful for it today. 
9. my home - today after work and tomorrow for the holiday, i have some place to go, our home.  a lot are not so fortunate to have a place to call home, and so i'm thankful that i've been blessed with the means to able to purchase a home and make it mine!
10. 2 thanksgivings - i have 2 families, and it's nice to have two days of being thankful and spending time with them.  maybe someday i'll have a big enough house to host all of us, but until that day, i'll be thankful for two days of stuffing!



happy thanksgiving!
