thankful

i think it's pretty cool that there is 1 day every year devoted to the people and things in life that we should be thankful for. you would think that because it is every year that we would be thankful for the same things over and over again...but that's not entirely true. i believe that although there are a few things that remain constant throughout each year, there are different reasons that come up for why we are thankful for either that person or thing.

i'm thankful....

....for the man who has been my hubby for the last 5.5+ yrs, mybest friend for the last 17+ yrs and my soulmate for the last 24+ yrs. (all the same man, mind you!) i have truly tested his patience in 2006 and look...he's still around! hahaha

...for my good little boy whose smile brightens up every morning and makes me proud to be a mommy. he has grown into this little man in a short period of time!

...for my parents (whose anniversary is today) and siblings that have been and continue to be soooooooooooooooooooooo supportive in everything we have done, especially this year!

...for our friends, near and far, who keep us laughing, who we have learned everything from "9 and 1" to the do's and dont's of parenting, the same friends that keep us busy on weekends and that give us reason to drive all over northern california...=)

...for my PP girls, who keep me young and on my toes

...for the new friends that i've made in the recent years that actually seem like we've known each other forever

...for the roof we have over our heads, the food present at our table, the cars so that we have a means to get around and the jobs that we have so that we can have the roof, food and cars =)

....and most importantly...we are thankful for having God in our life and in our hearts.

everyday contains a blessing and is a blessing...be thankful.
