Things I'm Thankful For

On this, the day after Thanksgiving, I'd like to take a moment to reflect on the things I am most thankful for:



1- A crazy, healthy, lively, brown eyed three-year-old who keeps me on my toes always. I am so thankful he is in my life and more thankful that he is mine.

2- A husband who is a daily reminder that it's never to late to follow your dreams. A man who loves me and our son for all we are and manages to make us laugh also.

3- Crazy cool parents. I heard someone say somewhere that they won the parental jackpot. I beg to differ, I was most certainly that lucky winner.

4- Healthy self and loved ones. Need I say more?

5- Super cute nieces and nephews that provide such fun and entertainment for my son. I think it's so cool that no matter what side of the family gathering we're at he has a buddy his age there to play with (on a side note.. here is a scene from Thanksgiving... Connor: "Grammy, can you wash these scissors?" Grammy: "Why do you need those scissors washed?" Connor: "So I can give cousin Ethan a haircut" See what fun cousins are?). I guess their parents are okay too:)

6- The possibility of a four-year adventure beginning in the new year.

7- The best, REALLY COOL, friends ever. Seriously, you think your friends are cool? They're not. Mine are.

8- A house that has managed to (mostly) stay standing for the last 6 years that we've lived there, despite a crack-addict home builder. Neighbors that come along with said house that are pretty cool and look after us.

9- Naps (that almost came before being thankful for the still standing house but I figured I needed a house to nap in).

10- A job that, despite being rather frustrating at times, has allowed me a part-time work schedule the last three years to spend more time with #1 while still (mostly) providing for the family.

11- The power of prayer, good thoughts, meditation, etc, etc. How else would we get through trying times?

12- Email, Facebook, Web cams and other things that allow us to stay in touch with people we don't live near.

13 Blogs that give me a little bit of a creative writing outlet.



I really could go on and on, but I'll stop here for now.



Dental school update... Monday is the big day that schools can let students know about acceptances. I'll post all new information here as soon as I get it. Please say a prayer, think a good thought, meditate on good news, etc, etc for a great December 1st for us.



Loves to all.
