Its 2:30 on Thanksgiving. Jesse and his friends took the kids to the park, and I actually have a few minutes open on my cooking schedule so I thought I would make a list of things I'm thankful for. Here goes...
1: A husband who works hard, plays hard and takes time to enjoy doing nothing when the opportunity arises.
2: A beautiful little girl who is extremely generous and loves to make people laugh.
3: The cutest little boy ever with a fun personality that is definitely one of a kind.
4: A house to live in that I actually like.
5: 2 cars, we shared for the longest time and I don't think I'll ever be able to take having my own car for granted again.
6: My mom. She is the best mom ever. I can't even describe how thankful for her I am.
7: My dad, one of the hardest workers I've ever known.
8: In-laws who aren't overbearing. I've heard enough horror stories from others to be grateful for that.
8: My brother, Clif, who is a great example of an outstanding dad.
9: My sister, Camille, who is wonderwoman, seriously she can do everything at once and make it seem easy.
10: My sister, Cherilyn, who is always generous and forgiving.
11: My sister, Caytie, we were never really close growing up, but now she is honestly probably one of my best friends.
12: My sister, Chalee, who really knows how to have fun.
13: My sister, Christon, who is an amazing teenage girl. Seriously, wise for her years.
14: My nieces and nephews, love them all!
15: Opportunities to serve.
16: San Diego weather, I may miss the snow and rain but it is convienient when you child refuses to wear shoes and socks.
17: Good friends who almost feel like family.
18: The Marine Corps, I love knowing in these hard times, that I don't have to worry about lay offs or anything like that.
19: Being in a financial situation where I can afford to feed 5 hungry Marines + my family and Patricia's family Thanksgiving dinner.
20: My big comfy bed.
21: Having a camera again!
22: Having a healthy family.
23: The opportunity to send Savannah to such a great school.
24: Lincoln's therapy. It is sometimes a pain to be there so often, but I'm very grateful that he is getting the help that he needs.
25: Affordable health care.
There are many, many other things, but I'll stop there because I'm sure no one wants to read anymore. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
