Giving Thanks

So I'm totally ripping off from Tamie's blog and writing about what I am thankful for today. Seems appropriate somehow. This is my first thanksgiving away from my family, which makes me all the more thankful for the time I will spend with them soon. I am thankful for the family who let my co-workers and I use their house to cook and eat our turkey. I am thankful for all the people who saved up turkey points for the grocery store so we could afford our dinner in the first place.

I am thankful for the snow that fell yesterday! (picture to come) I am thankful for the work I am doing, because I feel like I am making a difference even though it exhausts me. I'm thankful for Callie's wedding and that I will get to spend time with my friends/sisters. I am thankful for people all over the country who love me and whom I love. I am thankful for the stars and the wind and the fog and homemade socks.

And cheese...can't forget the cheese.

NO beans? Huh. Well. I'm thankful for Jackie, because I would never have met you or Mary or Callie and I wouldn't have survived middle school (or even the rest of my life). I am thankful for how beautiful you've turned out to be (and have always been) and that you continually allow me to be a part of your fabulously amazing life.
