30 days of Thanks!

This year I did not do my 30 days of thanksgiving on Facebook but that does not mean that I was not writing them down and reflecting on all that I am thankful for!

So here it goes:
1.  My Husband - without him I would not be able to do all I do.  He supports my crazy ideas for this family and is my best friend who can make me feel better with a hug.
2.  My kids - they have taught me more about myself than I ever thought I could learn.  They have taught me I could love until my heart wants to burst and that being a mom is the most rewarding but also the hardest thing I have ever done.  They are my world and are why I do what I do in life!
3.  My mom - she has always believed in me and supported me.  She may think I am insane for what I try to do but she has believed in me more than I believed in myself at times and I cannot go a day without talking to her.
4.  My dad - he is 4th because it has been one month since he left us, I am thankful for the memories.  I am thankful for all he taught in my life.
5.  My sister - she is my rock of reality.  She makes sure that when I am about to fall off the cliff that she will pull me up to the real world and help me focus on what really matters.  I love having her to balance me.
6. My extended family and the friends we have who are like family in our lives.  I love you all, I am glad you all put up with my craziness and the craziness of our house and cannot imagine life without all of you.
7.  Being an Aunt to some amazing kids, I love spoiling them with love and to see their smiling faces.
8.  My ConAgra Family and the career I have been able to have there in almost 8 years!
9.  The support team I have gained for my running journey, my hubby and friends, you all have believed in me that I can do this and I could not without your support.  Let's see how I get thru training with snow coming but I can do this!
10. Crazy, quick trips to the Country Music Awards with some of my favorite people. 
11. The teachers my kids have - I am very thankful for all of them that have been in their lives and the awesome job they have done in shaping my little people! 
12. My love for sports and the chance to attends games - whether with family of friends I love a good game.
13. Friend who have always been there but who I may not have seen in a while.  You all have written a chapter in my life and I am grateful for them all.
14. Passion to do more for others and the ability to be involved with Tri Kappa, Relay for Life and to be able to teach giving to my kids
15. Watching my kids push themselves to do more than they think they can!  I love to see an accomplishment of joy come across their faces.
16.  The NKMOTC moms - I love you ladies and you have helped me so much, I miss you and hope to see you soon
17. My Keurig coffee machine, yes I need it to keep up with these kids!
