Happy Thanksgiving (a few days late). If you know me and my family, we don't do anything on time. :)
As our friends would say, here is my "Glad List for 2010".
1 The two loves of my life. I would be nowhere without the support and love of my husband. He is my everything and I don't know what I would do without him. He gave me Bella. I cannot remember a time without her. I believe I was put on this Earth to be her mom and she is my whole world. I am thankful for my little family (and the puppies). :)
2. Family. I hate to brag, but I think I have an awesome family. That includes my family and my in laws. When Bella was born they have been SO MUCH HELP and I couldn't have done any of it without their help. I love the love they have for her, and I am very thankful for that.
3. Friends... both old and new. Over the past 2 years I have formed a bond with two wives of Dan's coworkers. We have a lot in common and I love the times we spend together at Ladies Nights just gossiping, venting, and laughing. I love the support system we all share. 2010 was also a year for rebuilding friendships that were lost in the past. I am thankful for all of our friends this Thanksgiving.
4. Food! Ha ha! I do love food, and I am thankful for the new recipes that I've found this year. ;)
5. My life. When I was a freshman in high school I didn't expect my life to be like what it is. I thought I would be married (check), have a kid (check), have a house (check), a new car, a steady elementary teaching job, and money in the bank to live comfortably. Well 50% ain't bad. Although I don't have money or a new car or my "dream job" I am happy. It turns out that I didn't know what my dream job was until Bella was born. I was never meant to teach a class full of elementary school kids, I was meant to be a mom and to teach my child/ren the difference between right and wrong and how to grow up and be strong independent people who care about others. I think I can handle that job. Maybe some day I'll have that new car and money in the bank, but this year, I am just thankful for what I do have. :)
