THANKSGIVING

Since it is November and Thanksgiving is right around the corner I thought I would just blog my thankful list for all to read. Some of the things I am thankful for are very important like my husband, four wonderful children, two great in laws and four fantastic grand kids. Health, boy I am thankful for good health well at least mine and I am thankful that David is still with me. He is the rock of my world, my soul mate, my best friend, someone who understands me, someone who loves me no matter what I do or say. My eternal companion.
Parents, great ones at that. They taught me well and have stood by me through thick and thin and still are. Two awesome brothers both smart and handsome. My sister, best friend, confidant, my twin (okay were two years apart), my fix. Extended family I love them all. I have many friends but of all, my husband, sister, and daughter have been true blue always there and I am thankful. Religion, country, Freedom but most of all my Savior Jesus Christ after all where would I be without him?

I have a list of not so important things I am thankful for like exercising I do love it! I know, I must be weird. My cat especially when she rubs up against my leg. Pushing the grand kids on the swing and listening to them laugh, watching my twins at age twenty still sit side by side on the couch in front of the TV when no one else is in the room and there is another couch and two chairs but they have to be glued together . Watching my oldest son bathe his kids. Playing guitar hero. Yes I am hooked. Fridays because they are our date days, which usually consists of lunch and a movie. My house, clothing, cars and as shallow as it is - my jewelry. Don't judge me to harshly. Taking a long hot bath. Even in Arizona we like hot baths although most of the time we could do it in our pools. Music, the Holidays, Jr. Mints. My lists could go on and on but you know that. My cup is half full not half empty and I am thankful.

I saw a big box of Jr Mints at Target and thought of you. I am thankful for the bestest Aunt Wendy a niece could ask for. Who else could teach me how to jirate?

Wendy, you are awesome, or should I say WONDERFUL! That was a beautiful post and one I think everyone should read and maybe take an example from. I love you the most and am SOOOOO thankful for you.
