Thankful.

Hi All,

I know that there are a million "Getting to Know You" surveys floating out there in cyberspace but being that it's just about Thanksgiving, I thought it'd be fun to write up a quick "What I am Thankful For" list instead. So I'll start... here's my list (in no particular order!). ; )

1). Rob. I am thankful for Rob because he works (SLAVES) like a dog everyday to keep our family afloat. And even though he slaves everyday to keep our family afloat, he wants to make me happy so he offers to spend $150/week in order to rent my dream camera for me. Not for my birthday or for any particular reason. Just because. Just because he knows how much I love photography & how happy it'd make me. His thoughtful offer made me happier than the camera ever could.

...Okay, if that wasn't cheezy enough, here's some more..

2). Connor. Well, without Connor, I'd totally have to rethink the title of this website. Haha. Duh... (it's 2 a.m. folks, cut me some slack...) What I am most thankful for in regards to Connor is how looking at him forces me to see the world differently. He gives me a new perspective on life. Most importantly, his being here has taught me to focus on the important things and to be grateful for all the amazing gifts that I have already been given in this lifetime (him being the best gift of all).

... cheese cheese cheese, I know...

3). My Family. It's a commonly known fact that I am slightly insane... okay, maybe I just feel that ways sometimes. Who doesn't, right? The good thing about family is that they are slightly insane too. It's fun to get together with like-minded individuals who share the same type of insanity that one is afflicted with. It creates a strong bond that's hard to break... All I can say is "Thank God for family."

4). My Friends. Being a Stay-At-Home-Mom isn't the easiest thing in the world to be. It's not all about soap-opera watching, bon-bon eating, wonderfully relaxing glory-filled days. It's a tedious and thankless job. And though very rewarding, it's often a lonely job. My friends get me through the rough patches, plain and simple. Without their support I'd completely lose my few remaining cookies. ; )

That about sums it up for me. Of course I am grateful for a roof over my head, the car I drive, my smelly but loveable dogs, etc... but most importantly I am thankful for God because without Him, the above list wouldn't exist.

Oh yeah, I am also EXTREMELY thankful for the people who visit this website. Especially those people who take the time to comment.

So what are you thankful for & why? Please share. : )
