What I'm Thankful For This Thanksgiving... Besides Green Bean Casserole

I am thankful for...

1.  My husband.  For being such a wonderful father, for his laugh, his passion for beer (even though I'm a wine drinker), and his work ethic, which allows me to stay at home and raise our daughter.  For all that he is and everything in between.

2.  My daughter.  For her love, her laugh, and all that she is.  For our dance parties and duets.  She is so smart and she is beautiful inside and out.  She keeps us on our toes and brings us joy every day.

3.  Our extended family.  It's large, so we are lucky to live close to so many and lucky be able to keep in touch with the ones that are further away.

4.  My sense of humor.  It gets me through hard times.  It reminds me not to take myself and anything else in life too seriously.  I love to be a goof, joke around, and sprinkle it all with a tiny bit of sarcasm.

5.  My home.  It provides a roof over my family's head, is down the street from my in-law's (who spend an irreplaceable amount of time with my daughter) and is walking distance to the grade school my daughter will attend in a few years.

6.  Skype.  It allows my mom to see my daughter grow up while she is so far from us in Florida.

7.  Steve Jobs' vision.  I know this sounds materialistic and even a bit far removed from me (seeing as I had never met the man), but his vision helped create the technology I need to keep in touch with family and friends near and far.  It also provides me with a place to organize my life and a place to funnel all of my creativity.

8.  My stove/oven.  It is a perfect medium for my cooking and baking.  A place I escape to and create.

9.  Pinterest.  The website that my sister got me hooked on.  Idea heaven!

10.  My car being payed off in February.

11.  This blog.  A place to share my ideas and thoughts with others, but more importantly, for bringing my sister and I closer together.

Until next time,
Blair
