Thankful

Seeing that I missed posting about Thanksgiving, I thought I would blog about what I'm thankful for.  The Howards do a tablecloth for Thanksgiving and you write every year what you are thankful for.  It's a fun tradition and it's nice to see what you write every year.

This year has been extremely eventful.  Both of us got great new jobs, that keep us EXTREMELY busy.  Before when I was at Rossignol, I would be busy.  Like having 10 voicemails, and 20 emails at the same time, and I thrived on it because I LOVE being busy.  Now?.....Rossignol busy was a delightful slow day at RAMP.  Evan and I constantly are working 10-12 hour days just to keep up with everything that is going on at work.  We both love it, don't get me wrong.  This isn't a complaint by any means.  We have great co-workers who are understanding when everyone is about to snap from working all day.  But I am thankful that we have this opportunity to work together and in something we both like to do.  I also am thankful for my family.  Both in laws and my immediate family.  My Mom and I are so close, and it makes it easier when Evan is gone on the road for so long, she keeps me busy and occupied.  Plus all my friends, I'm extremely thankful for them.  They know I get stir crazy being home alone so much and are constantly planning dinner dates and movie night, so thank you to all my friends.  You all know who you are, and I'm so thankful for you all everyday.  Mostly, I am thankful for Evan.  No matter what he always has a smile on his face, even when we do work 12 hour days and I'm grouchy and not fun to be with.  He is there to cheer me up and make a joke out of the day.  I also am thankful for my dogs.  Even though there are days when I want to kill them, they are still "my kids" and they are wonderful.

Overall we've been blessed with a house that is ours, two cars, two wonderful dogs, and great jobs.  We are extremely lucky and I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
