Thankful...

Since I copy my friend, Cara, in everything she does on her blog, I thought I would make a list of the things I am most grateful for....

1. MY HUSBAND-

Where would I be without him?? He works hard so that I can be a mommy first and then a nurse, he is a great dad, and above all else...he puts up with me on a daily basis (no easy feat!!) He has been with me through the good times and the bad...has never left my side when I needed him.

2. KARI-

She is the love of my life. I can't imagine life without her endless energy and endless talking. She says the funniest things and has the biggest heart! My little social butterfly!

3. ASHLEY -

I love her with all my heart. She brings so much joy to my life. She has grown into such a wonderful, caring, beautiful young lady...and for that I am truly thankful!!

4. OUR AWESOME FAMILY-

I am so thankful to be surrounded by our wonderful family...on both sides. I have been blessed with amazing in-laws. My biggest blessing in my step-mom, Joan...she is my rock. I am thankful that I have such a close relationship with my oldest brother, John...not many people can say they talk to their brother every day on the phone (and now I work out with him on Mondays!)

5. MY DOCTORS (A.K.A THE BOSSES)-

They may not be McSteamy, but these 2 are the absolute best to work for! They gave me a great opportunity and have given me room to grow in my role in their practice. They allow me to keep my family first and my work second. And they make me love my job that much more.

6. THE GIRLS IN MY OFFICE-

They keep me laughing and keep me sane. I love my office days just so I can get caught up with them!!

7. MY FRIENDS-(why is it that I don't have many pics of my friends...I will have to work on that!!)

I am so thankful for the many friends I have in my life. Old and new...they all add so much to my life. My support system is amazing and I know this because I have had to test it a time or 2 this last year!

8. HEALTH-I can never be thankful enough for the health of all of my family. I see so much sickness and disease in my job that I usually give thanks daily for our health!!

9. SLEEP-I learned a hard lesson this last 12 months...do not take sleep for granted. I am sooo thankful to now be sleeping a solid 8 hours every night with only a little bit of help from something that is not harmful for me to take!! And soon I won't even need that!!

10. ROBIN (MY TRAINER)-for reminding me that I really do love to exercise and for pushing me to do things I thought I couldn't!! I don't run...well, guess what, yes you do!! I am now in better control of my eating and exercising so I am truly thankful for Robin!

11.THE DVD PLAYER IN THE CAR-

You might be thinking why is this on her list of things she is thankful for. Well, if you have a DVD player in your car and you have kids and you have taken a road trip longer than 30 minutes....you know exactly what I am talking about!!

I'm sure I am leaving so many things out...we are so blessed in our lives. We have a nice house, nice cars, food on the table, clothes in our closet, health, jobs, and love in our hearts....what more could you ask for!!

What are you thankful for???

Until next time....
