Thankful

With Thanksgiving coming up this week I wanted to make sure I made a list of everything I am thankful for. I know I won't get a chance to do it later this week since I'll be with my crazy family (they should probably all be committed ;) ) so I'm going to do it now.

1. I am thankful for my mom and all of the support she has given me my entire life. She has been dragged through many adventures and never once complained. She has given me her sarcasm and sense of humor and has helped to make me who I am.

2. I am thankful for my daddy. He has always been there for me and can be counted in for a hug whenever I want to cry. He's always supported every decision I've made. I've inherited his cackle ;) and his social butterfly personality. I could not have asked for a better dad.

3. I am thankful for my sisters Megan and Katie. Though we don't always get along they are two of my best friends.

4. I am thankful for Sarah Rose Gravel. No matter how far apart we are we always seem to pick up right where we leave off. She's always there when I need to vent and she's always good for a laugh. I love my BFF rose :)

5. I am thankful for my job. I could not have asked for a better school to work at or for better teachers to work with.

6. I am thankful for my students. I love those sweet kiddos and could not have handpicked a better group. They always manage to put a smile on my face even when I'm having a horrible day.

7. I am thankful for my life. It's a good one despite the obstacles.

8. I am thankful for the fact that I ate a candy cane Hershey kiss this morning and couldn't even remember why I stopped eating mint things (and those of you who've followed this blog from the beginning should know this is a big deal)

9. I am thankful that I have gone 2 full weeks without night terrors!

10. I am thankful for Whitney. She has been with me through a lot. She watches superhero movies with me, laughs with me, lets me borrow her shoulder, eats food with me, shares a fro yo obsession, and acts a fool with me. She's a great friend and I'm glad I found her :)

11. I am thankful for Lauren. She forced me to eat biscuitville, lets me listen to Christmas music with her, doesn't mind when I lay down on the couch in her classroom, doesn't complain when I take my shoes off in her room (even though my feet were smelling pretty ripe) and laughs with me. She's a pretty good coworker and friend :)

12. I am thankful for every person in NC who has become family. Some if my favorite people in the world who are always there when you need them :)

I know there are a lot more things I am thankful for, but this list will do for now! I hope everyone has a wonderful
Thanksgiving and can enjoy the time you spend with your families....I know I will!
