Thankful

       A lot of people have done a day of thankfulness each day of November. I haven't done that, but I thought I could put it on the blog! Its not exactly 30, but just a little list of thankfulness!

    First and foremost, I am most thankful for my husband. (I'm sure yall saw that one coming!) He is honestly the most amazing man, and I thank God for him each and every day. I have no idea what I would do, or who I would be without him. He makes me smile on a daily basis and shows his unconditional love for me in so many different ways. I don't know that a day has gone by that he didn't tell me how beautiful I am or how much he loves me. I'm so blessed to have him in my life.

        I'm thankful for my parents. They have taught me so much, and maybe even more so since I've moved out. I love how much they love Mark. Mom even told me a few months before we were engaged that I could never leave him. She said it would literally break her heart. Lucky for her, she has nothing to worry about:) They showed me what love looks like. As I am getting older I realize how much like my Momma I am becoming. I hear myself talking and cooking like her. The cleaning like her part?? Yea, that has yet to come! I'm a lot like Dad too. I'm always right and really stubborn, but I would give you the shirt off my back if you needed it. He taught me a lot about selflessly giving. I love them both more than they know.

      I'm thankful for my little home in Shelby. Its not much in most peoples eyes, but its OURS. We have a steadily growing list of repairs and upgrades that need to be made. But she is a work in progress! But my favorite thing about my home, is the person I get to share it with.



     I'm thankful for my sister. Good Lord, we don't get a long sometimes. But I love her dearly, and she means so much to me. I will always be here for her, and I try to be an example to her. She could learn alot from my accomplishments, and more importantly my mistakes. God gave me a life long friend when he decided to give me Dallas.

I'm thankful for the grandparents I still have in my life, and the ones I've inherited from Marks side of the family! They have helped us in more ways than imaginable, and I owe them the world.

I'm thankful for my love bugs! I love my sweet cuddle babies!

I'm  thankful for my car! FiFi the Fiesta! Mark and I have had our run with vehicles the last two years, and I'm so thankful for a reliable car! It is small, gets great gas mileage, and gets me back and forth to where I need to go!

I'm thankful for my job. I am finally doing something I love, and that makes all the difference in the world.

 I'm thankful for our friends. They mean so much to me and I wouldn't trade them for the world!

    I'm thankful for Sons of Anarchy! This may be funny to yall, but I seriously love this show! Mark bought the first season so I could watch it, and I was hooked! We stayed holed up in the house for weeks watching the first three seasons I had missed. I mean who wouldn't want to look at this face once a week?!?

    I'm thankful for technology. I take for granted how much easier life is because of my iPhone, my television, email, etc.

   I'm thankful my mom taught me the love of reading. My favorite pass time is to curl up with a good book. I sort of cheat by logging into her kindle account, free books for me! I love good romance novels, because who doesn't like happy endings? I wonder how many thousands of books have been read between the two of us.

   There are so many things I'm thankful for that aren't on this list. My blessings are too many to count, my cup truely does run over.

    I had every intention of posting this blog on Thanksgiving. As you can see it is a little late, and honestly I am thankful for that. This post being late means I was too busy spending time with my family and friends, working, or maybe even just relaxing! It means that life got in the way, a life that I am so so very thankful for.
