Thankful

Being that it is November and all of Facebook is encouraging each person to post what they are thankful for each day I thought I'd do it here. Get the list done now and then I can view it all month long and for many years ahead. So here goes, one item for each day of November:

1. Eric, the love of my life and my very best friend. Even when he is irritating, I know it's because he loves me.
2. Ryan, the sweetest, kindest, smartest little boy. He puts a smile on my face every single day.
3. Austin, who for his bluntness and outlook on life. He is so full of life and energy; if only I could keep up with him.
4. The growing girl baby in my belly. She is healthy and perfect and growing just right. I cannot wait to meet her!
5. The ability to live in a country that allows me to take time to be thankful for these things. How blessed am I to enjoy the freedom to sit on my laptop in the privacy of my own home without fear of harm coming through my door.
6. My job. Even when I can't stand being there, I'm so glad that I can work and provide for my family and give great care to my patient's and their families.
7. New opportunites, which will hopefully make themselves known here in the next few days. :o)
8. Hank & Maggie
9. My family: Mom, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, cousins, aunts...everyone. I would not be who I am today without them.
10. A warm house to call my home.
11. The best friends in the world!
12. My in-laws who have always been so loving and supportive through every step we have taken.
13. A car that starts in the morning.
14. Farmers. I know that sounds odd but I seriously could not raise or grow my own food. For that I am very grateful to those who do. :o)
15. Maternity pants. Seriously.
16. Something greater than me. Even if I don't always have a name for it.
17. Co-workers that I could not get through a single day without.
18. Little baby kicks. <3
19. Maybelline.
20. iPhone without which I would be lost in this world. Must. Stay. Connected. :o)
21. Not living somewhere that gets colder than Ohio.
22. Ultrasounds. It drive me crazy to not know what color to paint the nursery.
23. My bed.
24. Healthy children.
25. A cold glass of milk and a couple of Oreo's.
26. My DVR.
27. My husbands socks when its cold outside.
28. His shirts...any time.
29. My education.
30. Having so many things to be thankful for.

Baby and house updates to come soon. Promise.
