What are you Thankful for?!?





So we just had another Thanksgiving weekend! Whoa the dinners were absolutely amazing. Jason and I had a barbecue at his friends house in White Rock on Saturday night. Then ham, scalloped potatoes, beets, yams etc etc at his parents house on Sunday night. Monday night we were at Kim and Raff's for a huge turkey dinner. Whoa I think I will be full for a week!

This brings me to my next topic. What are you Thankful for? Every year in this season I stop to think about what I am truly thankful for in this life. Honestly it does not change a whole lot from year to year.

This year I am Thankful for:

*My Parents and Family - For giving me a childhood that was full of so much love that I attribute it to making me who I am today. For always being supportive of me no matter what dumb life decision I make. For helping me out financially even when I don't deserve it. And mostly for being amazing role models who I always look up to and who never give up on me.



*My Friends - Near or far my girlfriends have served as my lifeline. I thank them for having fun with me, crying with me, laughing with me and sharing my everyday life. You have been loyal and honest with me, helpful and considerate, my happiness and my shoulder. To each and everyone of you - I have a little piece of you in me. You are my friends because you all add to who I am and individually and as a group make me stronger and contribute to my rounded personality. I love you very much and wouldn't want a life that you weren't apart of no matter how much or how little. (I considered writing individual thank you's... but I would end up spending days on it so I will save it for when I am sick.)



*My Jason - I am so Thankful and grateful to have you. I wasn't in the whole settling down mode for quite some time and then one day I looked into your eyes and you were all I wanted. I am lucky you are here and I can't imagine my life right now without you in it. You make me happy and smiley and you drive me crazy too. I want to be a better person for you and I love you. No one makes me feel loved, wanted and needed the way you do.



*Wiser - Although I have had my little Wiser for only a week I am thankful that this little energetic fur ball has taken a true liking to me and keeps me company. He has made me fall in love already! He is my little friend and I am so happy to be spending my time with him.



*A home - I am thankful to have so many places to call home. I have the roof over my head that Jason welcomed me into as well as my parents house that although I never grew up in it, I feel like it is home every time I am there. For my many friends homes whether with their families or boyfriends... when I am with you I know I am at home.

The list really could go on and on... but for today I will leave it at that. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and take the time to remember what you are Thankful for.
