Thankful Thursday

I've always been really thankful for what I have and I do have a lot to be thankful for. Those thankful feelings are magnified around the holidays and I think that it's important to acknowledge what I'm thankful for.

My family- My family is always there for me, no matter what. They are loving, passionate, caring and thoughtful people and I am so blessed to have them in my life. I've always felt lucky to be a part of this family and I know that I always will. I love my family more than anything in the world and couldn't imagine my life without them. I am so thankful to know them and to have had them to teach me about life, the real world, the true meaning of family and myself.

My husband- Kris and I have had a crazy 5 years together (2 years married) and I can't believe that it's been that long. Time has flown by and I couldn't imagine spending my life with anyone else. We have a special bond that I've never felt with anyone else. He makes me feel loved and special. I'm so thankful that we found each other and that we've made the commitment to spend our lives together. I welcome whatever adventures find us in the future.

Kelsey- Kelsey and I have a friendship that is stronger than any friendship I've ever had. Even though she moved away, she is still my closest friend and our friendship is stronger than ever. She always finds a way to push me out of my comfort zone and makes me feel better about myself. I'm a better person for knowing her and she's absolutely irreplaceable in my life.

This is only a small glimpse into what I'm thankful for. I'm saving the rest for upcoming posts! Until then, happy Thankful Thursday!

What are you thankful for?

Feeling Thankful

Of course, you guys all know that Thanksgiving is upon us! It's just three days away and I'm so ready for everything, and by everything, I mean yummy food!

But Thanksgiving is always a reflective time, when people really sit down and think about what it is in life that they're grateful for. And as a person who follows quite a few blogs, I've been seeing a lot of new posts about it. So, in the Thanksgiving/blogging spirit, I figured that I'd do one myself!

What am I thankful for? 

1. My family- Of course, right? I love them to pieces and I'm very thankful for the blessed life that I've had with them. I'm also thankful that Kristopher is now officially a part of my family.

2. My health- When teams of doctors tell you that you'll be sick for the rest of your life and then a medical miracle happens, which results in you getting your health back, you learn to really appreciate your health.

3. Coffee- I seriously don't know how I'd function in life without this stuff.

4. Disney trips- They help me forget about how lonely I feel while Kristopher is away and allow me to create lasting memories with my family before I move. I'm also pretty thankful for the smiles that they leave on my face every single time I go.

5. Blogger- I am so grateful that I get to share my thoughts and experiences with the world via Blogger. And it's free, which I LOVE! Blogging is my new favorite hobby!

6. Books- There is nothing like curling up with a good book, some coffee and some imagination. It's my favorite relaxation technique. I'm also thankful that I get to write my own books.

7. Army life- Although it's the hardest thing that I've ever had to go through, I am so thankful that I'm an army wife. And I'm so grateful that one day I'll be able to be a part of the wonderful adventure that is army life.

I am thankful for everything in my life but if I listed it all, I'd be here all day!

What are you all thankful for?
