I have a ton to be thankful for this year so prepare yourself =)TOP 5:
1) My absolutely incredible husband. Seriously, I am the luckiest woman on this planet. He is so good to me and is the best husband. I've seen friends deal with so many issues this year, and we are not perfect by any means and have had our share of ups and downs, but I have realized how blessed I am to have a husband who loves me the way Greg does and that provides for us to the extent that he does. He is my rock and my best friend and I am so very appreciative of his love =)
2) Our two cute, furry babies =) We love our dogs and are thankful that we have two of the sweetest pups in the world !
3) Both of us having jobs. We are so thankful that despite the economic turmoil our country is experiencing, we both still have our jobs and have not really been affected by the devastating events that so many families in our nation are experiencing. There are days that are hard in both of our jobs, but every day we are reminded that we are lucky to have a job to complain about and that we honestly have absolutely nothing to complain about. Plus, I have the best job in the world so...I really can't complain at all! We have been incredibly blessed and we try very hard not to take things for granted.
4) Our wonderful parents. Greg and I are both blessed with kind, loving families that we are so thankful to have in our lives. We are both thankful for parents who still love each other and who have both been married for so long. They are both such great examples of what a great marriage should like and we are so glad to have that model for us.
5) Our siblings and their families. We are both close to our siblings and we are thankful for our relationship with them! We are also very thankful for our super cute, healthy nieces and nephew. We love them all very much!
Here's the rest of my list but without pictures =)6) Almost being finished with this semester of classes! It has been a rough one and I am glad I have almost most made it out alive and with decent grades =)
7) Our health. Greg and I both have remained fairly healthy this year and I am so thankful for that, especially considering all the stuff that has gone around and the Swine Flu.
8) Our Nweds group. Being a part of this group as been one of the greatest things for our relationship. We are have been blessed with so many new friends that support us and love us just as we do for them and we have bonded with so many couples!
9) My girlfriends. This semester there have been several girls nights (movie watching and dinners) and it has been SO much fun! I am thankful to have such good friends in my life who are going through the stress of school with me =)
10) Our home. We are so fortunate to have a roof over our heads each night and not have to worry about where we will sleep each night. Now more than ever, we are thankful for this!
The list could go on, but for time and boredom's sake I will stop at 10. Needless to say I have a lot to be thankful for and we are undeservingly, continuously blessed beyond measure. As mentioned above, we try very hard not to take things for granted and remind ourselves that none of this is of our own doing, it is all what God has given us and we should be eternally greatful for all He has given us. We love you all and are very thankful to have you in our lives =)
Happy Thanksgiving!!
