Let me specify that these aren't necessarily in order of how much I am thankful for them....and that this is long....so short attention spans may want to skim :)
Nov. 4 My siblings: my sister who has accompanied me on our crazy life ride for the last 31 years and will always be my unconditional loving sister through it all! My stepbrother who is so close in age I enjoy sharing friends with him and hanging out with him for the past 20+ years! My stepsister whom we are finally getting along and forming a relationship as siblings after many years of not.
Nov. 5 My amazing friends: I have the most amazing friends. I know everyone thinks they have the most amazing friends, but I am pretty sure I would win an essay contest if I had to write one about mine! I have a group of friends from high school (most I have known since 6 or 7th grade) and a group of friends from college that life just wouldn't be what it is without them. They are fun, hilarious (you have to have a sense of humor and a need to have fun to be my friend), supportive, generous, loving, caring and most importantly CRAZY like me. As I move through life and meet new people I continue to be blessed with good friends and for that I am thankful.
Cheryl, Emily, Jiffy and me have been friends since 6th/7th grade and we picked up Jeni in 10th grade! Carrie is a good friend and was with us on this outing
I have to note that I couldn't find one that included my other friend Nicole b/c she couldn't go on this trip and Kim, Sara, Becca and Nicole's husbands are also part of our college crew.
Nov. 7 My health. In the same sense that I am thankful for being mostly healthy, I am thankful for the days that I am sick and feel like dying would be a good option. These days remind me of how lucky I am to be healthy and general and to empathize with many who are not.
Nov. 8 Exercise! I am thankful for the resources and time that I get to sneak in for exercise. I feel refreshed, energetic and more confident when I fit in regular workout sessions.
Nov. 9 My education. College was one of the most awesome experiences of my life! I got to experience what it was like to be a pseudo-grown up while still being mostly supported by my parents. I gained friends and memories for a lifetime! Oh ya, and got my BS in Business Management. Then for my 2nd and 3rd degree.....I am thankful for the resources and ability to get a degree in something I love to do. And to complete my education with a Masters Degree in Elementary Education so that I can make the big bucks when I go back to teaching (okay, not BIG bucks, but BIGGER bucks). I really am a lifelong learner and would like to keep taking classes once I've raised babies!
My not-so-serious list:
Nov. 4 Texting-how did I live without this before? This is my perfect tool of communication-I am not a phone talker and love to communicate by email, but I also like more immediate responses. Texting = perfect for me!
Nov. 5 Family who shares their Colts tickets (even if we left 3rd quarter to go back to tailgating)
Nov. 6 Adult beverages
Nov. 6 Adult beverages
Nov. 7 Excedrin
Nov. 8 A DVD player in the van (seriously if there is not a movie playing and all three kids are in the car, World War III inevitably breaks out)
Nov. 9 A maid (oh wait, that's me, never mind-wishful thinking)
