I don't have the discipline or time to post everyday what I am thankful so I am wrapping 28 days into 1 blog post (these are in no particular order).
1 - Ellie and Avery for they are the true loves of my life. Don't get me wrong they both test my patience nearly everyday I love them more than words can express.
2 - Josh - He is my best friend and the one who keeps me in check. He also has the cutest dimples that he has so graciously passed on to our girls!!!
3 - Mom - She is truly the sweetest, genuine and caring person that I have ever meet.
4 - Dad - He drives me bat shit crazy (sorry for the language), but its true. I think it's because we are more alike than I care to admit. He doesn't know a stranger and would do anything for anyone. I am his little girl and well he is my daddy and I love him.
5 - Grandparents - I was fortunate to know all my grandparents and have fond memories of them all.
6 - JCCF - I love working at the Johnson County Community Foundation. Not only did we grant over $900,000 in 2013 to deserving students and organizations I get to work with 4 amazing women.
7 - Fall - The best time of the year! Watching Avery jump in leaves, trick or treat and ride in the combine is priceless.
8- Combine Rides/Farming - It reminds me of being a child and riding the rounds with my Dad (or Stanley). It is also a blessing to be able to share this with our children.
9 - Paula Thomas is our cleaning lady. She saves me from wanting to kill my husband.
10 - Discovery Daycare takes great care of my babies and has already taught Avery so much.
11 - Poop in the potty! Yes, it is the small things in life that make my life easier. Nothing is more sweet than Avery running out of the bathroom screaming 'Mommy I did it!' haha!
12 - Kyle - He is one of my best friends and literally is a lifesaver whenever we need anything. He inherited my mom's big heart!
13 - Kelsey - Kyle hit the jackpot when he found Kelsey and she agreed to put up with him. She is the BEST SIL and Aunt to my girls.
14 - In-laws - I am very fortunate to have very caring and loving in-laws!
15 - Duck Dynasty - There are not very many shows that Josh and I both like, but Duck Dynasty is one that we can agree on. It seems to be a true 'reality' show.
16 - My high school friends. Each and everyone one of them I have wonderful memories with. I will not name them all they know who they are. When we see each other we can pick up right where we left off. I also love watching our kiddos play together.
17 - My college education. Not really the education part but the experience of attending PU for 4 years. I made some great friends and have some great stories. The corner of Maple and Lutz will always have a special place in my heart!
18 - Sissy and Lola. Yes I said my dogs. They are always there and granted I did love them probably a lot more before I had children they are still great companions.
19 - Uncle Steven and Aunt D - Though we don't see them as often as we would like. They have made quite the impression on my little girl. I can't mention 'Tucky' without Avery going on and on about Uncle Steven and Aunt D. They live on a farm with cows and chickens and Avery is in heaven.
20 - Piggy. Avery has a ratty old pig that she absolutely has carried with her from day 1. She loves this piggy and there is something about him that I love too.
21 - Royer's - We have wonderful neighbors and I can't say how thankful I am they are there. Avery loves Hadley and I hope Avery and Reese will be great friends too.
22 - A. Nicki - She is one of the funnest, nuttest and loving Aunts a girl could ask for.
23 - The Whaley's - This includes a huge group of people and the numbers continue to grow. I have wonderful Aunts and Uncles that taught us all about Faith, Love and Family. My cousins are truly remarkable individuals and all have beautiful families. Can't say enough about all the wonderful memories I share with these peeps.
24 - Peanut Butter M&M's - My go to candy to satisfy my sweet tooth.
25 - My health. We all take this for granted but I can't imagine living with some the aches and pains that some live with everyday!
26 - Steph and Laura - We have been the best of friends since grade school and still are today. I can count on these two ladies for anything.
27 - Jenny - Though we didn't come friends until later in life she is truly my long lost sister.
28 - 31 years - I have had such a remarkable life filled with love and laughter. I can't wait to see what the next 30 years has in store for me and my family.
