Thankful Lady

Ummm, so yeah, it's been over 2 weeks since my last post! But there really hasn't been much going on to post about, plus work has been insanely busy.

So even though Thanksgiving was yesterday, I'm thankful for lots of things every day. Here are just a few...

First off, my family. They are so much fun to be around and I'm so thankful that we all live so close and get to see each other whenever we want. We're all a tad on the crazy side (just ask Bryan and my sister's boyfriend...the outsiders :)) but it makes for great fun and great stories.

Of course, Bryan. He is my rock and the absolute best partner I could ask for. He puts up with so much from me and deals with my craziness better than anyone else could.

My friends. I have an absolutely terrific group of friends. We have so much fun together. My best friend Emma (who yelled at me for not posting in forever. Hi Emma!) is the bestest best friend ever. As a side note, I'm also thankful for Advil for helping me out the mornings after all those "fun times", like our annual tradition of going out the night before Thanksgiving! (Man, Thursday morning was r-o-u-g-h!)

My Libby dog. She can be a brat at times, but when she's snuggled up on the couch with us at the end of the day, all that naughtiness is forgiven.

Our jobs. In these times of economic uncertainty, I am immensely thankful that Bryan and I both have very secure jobs.

The roof over my head. Of course, that roof and everything under it have flaws, but to be a homeowner at my age is truly a blessing and I love having a warm, comfortable place to call home.

Last, but certainly not least, I am thankful for my health and the health of all my family members and friends. I really hope I am thankful for this same thing for a long time!

I am thankful for lots of other little things...cars that run, a car that is paid off, Alterra coffee, Diet Coke, chocolate and plenty of other "stuff."

Here's hoping that I'm thankful for all of these things for a long time to come!
