So this Thursday is Thanksgiving… And at this time I am reminded of all the wonderful things in my life I should be thankful for. There are so many things in my life that I am truly grateful for but that would be a long post. So here are the first 5 that come to mind.My Health – without it I wouldn’t have been a healthy (and adorable) baby, child, and now adult.

Friends – Without the great friends I have I would not be who I am. I can’t thank them enough for putting up with me, loving me, and being there for me when I need them.

My Family – All my aunts, uncles, cousins, grandma! But especially to my wonderful siblings (and in-law siblings) who have given me so much love through my life. And 5 BEAUTIFUL nieces!

And finally… My Parents – Without them I would not be who I am (I would not even be here). They are so supportive, loving, understanding… I could go on and on… I can’t even put into words how much I love them! I don’t know what I would do without them. My mom is truly my best friend. I know that she is there for me no matter what, and I can tell her anything. Thank you mom! My dad, is… my dad! I will always be his little girl no matter how old I get. He will always worry about me and take care of me and try to protect me from harm. Thank you dad! I love you both so much and I can’t thank you enough for what you do for me and how you love me. I am so happy that I can discuss anything with you and not be afraid that you will judge me or look down on me.
