I am Thankful For…

In honor of Thanksgiving, I hope you don’t mind, I would like to be a little personal and express what I am thankful for. I have a lot to be thankful for this year. What are you thankful for? My list looks like this:

I Am Thankful For:

1. I am thankful for my husband. We have been married for 13 years, and he completes me (insert corny Jerry Maguire reference here He’s so handsome, he takes good care of me and he is so funny. He makes me laugh almost every day.
2. I am thankful for my son AJ- he is so talented, smart handsome and all around good kid. It is such a blessing to have such a good kid. He makes me laugh all the time. I think he gets it from his dad.
3. I am thankful for my son Kai who looks just like his Daddy but behaves just like me in every possible way. He is smart, funny, adorable, and too clever for his own good. He has a way about him that just makes girls of all ages LOVE him.
4. I am thankful for my parents and their health. They are an example of love and marriage that I hope to be lucky enough to duplicate in my own marriage. They have been married for over 30 years, and are still going strong.
5. I am also thankful for my MOM. We are a great tag team- and I get my beauty and my creativity from her.
6. I am thankful for my sisters who are the craziest- most fun people I know. Where others have a big circle of friends- I have my sisters. I am thankful for their humor, their support, and unconditional love.
7. I am thankful that both me and my husband are blessed to be employed.
8. I am thankful for opportunities to make additional income from home that allows me to be able to provide the things that my kids ask for or need.
9. I am thankful that when we sit down for dinner that my whole family will be present.
10. I am thankful to God for all of his blessings on me and my family. We are all healthy, he has blessed us with another day. I can’t give thanks enough- because he has done so much for my family.

I could go on and on about all the things that I am thankful for. But this was a list of my 10 things I am thankful for this year. What are you thankful for?

Happy Thanksgiving!
