Thankful

With this being the start of Thanksgiving, I thought I would start with what I'm thankful for.

I'm thankful for my wonderful husband, he takes care of me when I'm sick, makes me Macaroni n' Cheese at 9 o'clock without any questions asked and does it with a smile, he may or may not do some salsa moves in the kitchen so I can laugh, always willing to help clean, cook, watch HGTV with me, have late night cuddle sessions that are always needed :)  He is my best friend and we do everything together whether it's skiing, going to eat, run errands, he is always willing to try something new and I would be lost without him.  He is my number one person I am thankful for.
I'm also thankful for my amazing family.  On rough days I know I can always call my Mom, Dad, sister, grandparents and always get that added boost that I was missing.  They are always there, and always supportive and always willing to help if we have home improvements.  The many nights of football watching with my parents bringing pizza is always greatly appreciated and we always love the company.  We love you guys!

I'm thankful for my house, when you hear the wind blowing so hard and watching branches fall off of trees it's nice to know you have a place to call home that you are warm and cozy and have made your own.  I'm extremely thankful for the location we are at, and the friendly neighbors we have.

I'm extremely thankful for my wonderful dogs.  They are my kids.  I love them so so much and couldn't ever imagine a day without them.  Alta is the baby of course, and Torre is the best cuddler ever made.  They have turned into such amazing animals and apart of our family.  They have the funniest personalities and it just makes them that much more special. 

I'm also thankful for a job that I love.  It's so nice going to work and hanging out with friends all day and talking about stuff you actually are interested in.  Who can say they get powder mornings from their work to get first tracks and come in for a half day?  I have become a better skier, and have thoroughly enjoyed getting free product and seeing how excited Evan gets when he gets his jacket in or a pair of new skis, it makes my job so much better seeing how much Evan loves skiing because of the benefits we get.



Overall, I'm thankful for all the people that have touched our lives.  Whether it be my parents helping me get through college, or my friends that are always there to go to dinner or shopping with me.  I love all my friends and family and have no idea where I would be without them.   Everyday is a blessing because my loved ones and I are healthy, happy, and well provided for.  That's all I can ask for.

cute post... I love Thanksgiving it is one of my favorite holidays and I hate that it seems to get overlooked. Sorry we are on opposite years, I am sure it will make it more peaceful though being 6 less. Hope you have a great one.
