Looking back on my life, I could count a bajillion things that I am thankful for. I have a truly blessed life.
I am eternally thankful for my husband, Tommy. He is such a good man. He takes such good care of us and I am constantly reminded of all the things he says and does because he knows it what makes me happy or it's what I want to hear. I'm so grateful that we have such an amazing marriage. We go through our ups and downs like everyone else, but at the end of the day we are still completely and madly in love with each other. We have made an amazing life for each other that I am truly blessed to have.
I've never been so thankful as I am for my daughter, Sydney. I am totally enamored of my child. She makes each day worth living. Sydney has such a great personality and I see so much of mine in hers. She gets her Daddy's looks, but she is all me in her personality. She is a totally spoiled brat, but I'm thankful that we are in a position that we can spoil her. I love my sweet angel baby more than she will ever know.
I am thankful for my amazing parents! I had a wonderful childhood and have truly been blessed with the people that God picked to raise me. My mom is one of my best friends, so much so that I can't go more than 2 days without talking to her on the phone, and I feel homesick when I leave my parents home. My dad is such a hard working man, and his faith in God is inspiring. I love that my baby has such wonderful grandparents to look up to.
I am also extremely grateful for my sisters, Donna and Jessica. They have both fought their internal demons and came out on the other side better than they have ever been. I'm so very proud of them both and just as proud to call them my sisters. I'm so very, very thankful for my neices Madison and Justice, and for my nephews Dominic and Aaron, better known as my "Boog". Any empty space that I ever had in my heart are filled with my love for them. I thank God everyday for the health and happiness of my family.
There are no words to say how grateful I am for my in-laws. I can honestly say that we have gone through the best of times and the worst of times, but I think the worst of times is finally behind us. My mother-in-law Mary and I get along better now than we ever have. My sisters-in-law Stacie and Laci are two people that I count as my bestest friends. I love those two girls so much! I am thankful to have them in my life. I am thankful that my youngest sister-in-law Marie and I are back on track to becoming the friends that we were "back in the day." I am also thankful for my neices and nephews-in-law (if that is such a thing)! My nephew, Matthew is about to graduate from college and I am so very proud of the man he has become. I love my Kami and little LeeLee and I am looking forward to getting to know sweet little Ashton and A'nevaeh better.
I am thankful for this great job that I am able to have. Calling it "work" would be a lie. I am able to be home all day and love on babies! And I get paid for that! LOL! Again, this goes back to my wonderful husband who allows me to do all the things that make me happy.
I am so very grateful for my friends that I have... the real ones are few and far between, but that's just the way I like it. I know that any time I need anything, big or small, they are simply a phone call away!
I am the most thankful for my God, who had blessed me and my family beyond measure... it's a good life and I'm glad it's mine.
