Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration today! If you’re traveling, I hope you have a safe trip. We're spending the day with Brian's mom and some of her family. I REALLY miss being away from my family on holidays, and I will be thinking about them all day! I hope you all enjoy your Thanksgiving meals with your families and that you will take some time to think about all that you have to be thankful for.

I am thankful for so much this year…

…My Handsome Husband. He is the most wonderful man I know. He is a great husband and an awesome dad. He always puts his family first. Since the day Rylie was born he has been a 100% hands-on dad, and some days does more with the kids than I do. Most of all, he puts up with me. I am so blessed to have him in my life.

…My Beautiful Children. Rylie and Bryce have made my life complete. They are my world and I love them more than I ever knew I was capable of loving someone. Their smiles light up my life and their hugs and kisses can make even the worst day better.

…My Awesome Parents. They have always done anything and everything they could for me, and they still do. When I need them they are there. My brother and I are #1 to them and we always will be. (Well, maybe #1.5 now since Rylie and Bryce came along.)

...My Brother. Another man I know I can always count on and will always be there. I wish we lived closer together, but I am thankful we don't live too far apart.

...My Aunt And Cousins. They may technically be "extended" family, but we are all just as close as can be.

…My Friends. I have a great group of friends. I really do. I have a few “besties” that I know I can ALWAYS count on. I truly value all of my friends and would do just about anything for all of you.

…That My Dad Is Out Of The Hospital. My dad spent the last two days in the hospital due to an intestinal blockage. I'm so glad he doesn't have to spend Thanksgiving there. My poor dad has many health issues and just can’t seem to catch a break.

…My Job and My Boss. While I don’t necessarily love going to work every day, I am thankful for the job I have. I work for a great company and I have an awesome boss.

…My Bonus. We received our annual bonus checks yesterday. Yay!

…My Kids’ Daycare. These people take care of my children for more hours than I do during the week. I am so happy they are at a place where they are being educated, and most of all, respected. I can’t say enough good things about the owner and the teachers at the daycare.

…My Blog Followers. This blog wouldn’t be what it is without you! I have met so many great people through the blogging community. I have been blogging for over 10 months and have made so many connections. Some of you I now also know in real life, and hopefully I will meet more of you one day.

…Smart Phones and Wireless Internet. Well, because I will be using both to catch up with you all today! I have been so busy lately (with the blog and just life in general) that I haven’t been able to do much blog reading, which is my favorite part of all of this. I hope to visit a lot of you in the next couple of days.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm glad to hear your father is home today.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for our bonus check, if we get it this year it will be in February. We have not received ours the past two years.

One of the most precious things in life is the people and support system around you. So glad your life is full of them.

Hope your "travels" go smoothly today and all is well with your busy weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Belated Turkey Day :) There was no way I was going on the computer yesterday as I was playing host! What great things to be thanksful for :) Sometimes it takes holidays like this for us all to sit back and reflect a little. I am so glad your dad was home and hopefully feeling better :)

You do have a lot to be Thankful for, and I LOVE that your daycare is now on your thankful list instead of your PITA list :)
