So I originally wanted to do a post on my blog for every day up until Thanksgiving 24 days of what I’m thankful for since I didn’t do that I’m just going to post 24 days all at once. It’s crazy how my life has been so busy and I never have any time to sit down and blog. So here it goes all of the things that make me so thankful hope you all enjoy.
1. The most important people in my life that means more than anything to me would be God and Jesus. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that who so ever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. I love the song from Jeremy Camp “This Man” and the meaning of the lyrics… Would you take the place of this man? My answer would be “YES” I owe everything to God nothing I have is mine it was giving to me by him and I’m so grateful for everything that he has giving me and entrusted in me. I love him more than words can ever describe he is my life my world my everything… Thank you for sacrificing your only son for us!
I can’t wait for the day that I get to meet you!
2. My son Alec he’s my oldest I love him with all my heart and more he means the world to me. It still amazes me how different both my boys are. Alec has grown up to be such an amazing young man. His a junior this year in school and next year he will be a senior. How time flies I remember like it was yesterday when I had him and held him for the first time in my arms. I couldn’t be more proud to call him my son I love him so much!
3. My Son Bailey he’s my youngest and such a loving and caring person. I love when I get home from work because every day he runs and hugs me and gives me kisses. I know this won’t last forever so I’m so grateful for it while it lasts. I had four sonograms when I was pregnant with him and all of them said he was going to be a girl. I’m thankful God gave me another son because he’s perfect and God knew that I needed another son not a daughter I wouldn’t change that for the world. You are my precious baby Bailey and I love you so very much!
4. My Husband Robert I knew he was the one the moment we meet at Speed’s Pool Bar I knew we were going to get married I told my sister that a couple of days later. He truly is my soul mate don’t get me wrong we have our fights just like everyone else. But, I can say without a shadow of a doubt I know he loves me and I’m so grateful that God brought him into my life. I love him and I couldn’t be more proud to call him my husband thank you for always being there for and loving me no matter what!
5. I’m grateful for my parents and my sister Kandi. Even though we don’t always see eye to eye on everything I love you guys so much. My life would not be anything if you weren’t a part of it. Thank you for always being there for me I appreciate it more then you will ever know.
6. I’m grateful for my husband’s family. I’m truly grateful to have you guys in my life thank you for making me feel like I’m a part of your family. I love you guys so much and I’m so happy that I married Robert because I gained another mom and sister you guys are the best!!!
7. I’m grateful for my best friend. God knew I needed a friend someone that would be there for me and never judge me and he gave me that friend her name is Jennifer Huntington. She is such an amazing person and I love her dearly. I have never had a friend that has been as loyal as her I can tell her anything and she wouldn’t tell a soul. She is there for me no matter what she is the one person that helped me through my weight lose and encouraged me daily. She is my best friend thank you Jennifer!
8. I’m grateful for my job. It’s such an amazing job I work for BP America as Administrative Assistant/Accounts Payable. I love to go to work every day and I enjoy working with everyone up there especially Jennifer Sargent she has been a great friend. I work 10 hour days and have every other Friday and Monday off which gives me a four day weekend every other week. If the kids get sick or I do I can work from home. My boss doesn’t stand over my shoulders like most places he lets me do my job. It’s laid back it’s like a family up there and I’m truly grateful that God lead me to them.
9. I’m grateful that Robert has an amazing job. He’s a Computer Programmer for Hastings Entertainment. With the way the economy is we both are very thankful that we have jobs.
10. I’m grateful for my home and it’s a beautiful home. It keeps us warm when it’s cold and cold when it’s hot. There are so many people that don’t have a home or a place to live. We have been in this home for almost 3 years and there isn’t a day that doesn’t go by that I don’t thank God for giving it to us.
11. I’m grateful for losing my weight and gaining my life back. This was the hardest thing that I have ever had to do because I’m a true fat kid at heart!
12. I’m grateful that we were able to take a family vacation this year. We went to San Antonio, Texas for 7 days and had so much fun. We went to Six Flags and White Water Bay, the River Walk, Seaworld, the Zoo and the Caverns, and the best place ever Schlitterbahn.
13. I’m thankful for our pets. We have a yellow lab and his name is Mojo and a Pomeranian named Mr. Muggles. We also have a very sweet fat cat that just loves me he’s my baby that cuddles next to me at night his name is Marley.
14. I’m grateful for our church and pastor. It really is the BEST church ever. I love going there every Sunday and Wednesday.
15. I’m extremely grateful for the Atkins diet. If it wasn’t for this program I wouldn’t have been able to lose my weight… Thank you for giving me my life back!
16. I’m grateful for my family’s health. There are so many people that have some kind of illness I thank God every day for this. Cancer has affected so many people so be blessed if you are healthy and pray for the ones that aren’t. And send another pray to the ones that have lost loved ones to some kind of illness.
17. Grateful for God’s blessings and prayer. I pray every day before I go to bed to thank God for everything he has given me and entrusted in me. I have a long list of friends and family that I pray for to watch over them and to take care of them. John 15:7 But, if you stay joined to me and my words remain in you, you may ask any request you like, and it will be granted! God walks with me every day and someday I will walk side by side with him what a glorious day this will be!
18. I’m grateful that my husband loves to cook. Because this is one thing I can’t stand to do. Robert is one hell of a cook most of what he cooks I can’t eat but, the kids sure seem to enjoy it. Thank you honey for being such a great cook! His going to kill me for posting this picture but I just had to. He won the dessert contest at work.
19. I’m grateful for my Friends. If I named them all individually, from wonderful acquaintances to tried and true friends, I'd have the rest of my list and more than 24. I don't have a large number of close friends, but I do know there are a lot of good people, near and far, who I can count on, who care about me, and who want only the best for me. I truly value my friends and will never have "enough" or too many.

23. I’m grateful for Black Friday. Because there are so many sales that you can get great deals on.
