Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow bloggers and to my friends and family that visit.
It never seems to fail year after year that this day brings tears to my eyes. I have so much to be thankful for. Here is what I have thought about already today.

1. My husband, Dan. Wow, I guess I really can't explain how lucky I feel to be his wife. He is the most amazing husband. As we approach our 1 year anniversary I really do look forward to many many more.

2. My parents, Jim and Lori. I have so many fond memories as a child. I know I wasn't alway easy on my parents, :) but they showed me such unconditional love through everything. To this day I really love spending time with my parents.

3. My new father and mother in law, Cal and Nancy. They have made me feel like one of their own. I give thanks for the relationship I have with them.

4. My sister, Lindsay, and my brother in law, Jon, and my nephew Bright. Lindsay has always been a great big sister. She always has great words of wisdom and continues to be so helpful with sharing her talents. The bond we share makes me smile. I give thanks for Jon. He is great at making our whole family smile and laugh. He has added so much excitment to our family times. Oh, and Bright! When I think of him I can't stop smiling. He has added so much joy to my life, and continues to remind me how amazing being a mother will be someday.

5. My new siblings and neice and nephews. Bruce, Amy, Hunter, Brooklyne, & Steve, Laura, Bennett, and one on the way. Being a part of a larger family brings a lot of fabulous times together. Becoming an aunt has been a joy. I give thanks for the crazy fun times when I couldn't stop laughing that have come from hanging out with my in laws.

6. All of our Grandparents. Wow! We are so lucky to be able to spend holidays with them. I am so thankful for all the kisses and hugs, and the many prayers that I sure have been offered.

7. Work! I love doing hair. And although working in a salon atmosphere with 20+ other women has its challenges I wouldn't have it any other way. The times of laughter and joy far out way the simple struggles. I am thankful for my job, for the women I work with, and for my bosses and all the work they put in to making Salon Cheveux great.

8. Girlfiends! I give thanks for so many fun times and for growing together from pre-teens to young women. I look forward to more great times as our lives continue to grow.


Well, I think I could keep going and going. This is just a short list of all the things and people I will give thanks for today.
