In The Spirit of Thanksgiving...

So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving I'm going to fall on the bandwagon of Facebook and say what I am thankful for. Instead of coming up with something for each day, I'm just gonna put it all at once.

I am thankful for:

1. Having a wonderful house to live in. Eventually it will be clean and fully done... maybe by the time Madelyn is out of the house, haha. 

2. My siblings. No matter what they are always there for me. We may fight at times but we always make up and move on.

3. My parents. They have been so supportive throughout the years. I couldn't even begin to thank them enough.

4. My in-laws. They created an amazing man that I am proud to call my husband.

5. Madelyn's grandparents. Yes, they are my parents and in-laws but yet, they are so different as grandparents. It melts my heart to see how much love they have for my baby.

6. My best friend and husband. I would be lost without him. He came back into my life at the perfect time. He is my support system and my sanity. He's the best daddy in the world... I could not have picked out a more perfect man to marry and reproduce with.

7. Madelyn. She has brought so much joy into my life. I never knew that this kind of love existed. She is such a happy baby; she babbles and giggles all day long. Besides a milk allergy (so far) she is a healthy baby, which I am most thankful for.

8. DeLaval. I know I complain about Josh's job a lot, but really, without him having such a great job I wouldn't be able to stay home with Madelyn.

9. Friends... old and new. I really suck at keeping in touch with people, but know that I love and cherish all of you.

10. My past. The good, the bad, and even the ugly. Without past experiences and relationships I wouldn't be where I am today. I hope I learned something from every experience.

11. Coffee. 'Nough said.

12. Sleep. I am sooo thankful that I have been blessed with a baby that sleeps all night! Ahh. The first month or so she would wake up once or twice a night, but since she's been about 2 or 2 and a half months she has slept through the night. Most nights she sleeps from 8 until 6. Last night she slept from 7:30 until 6:50 =)

13. The Mexican restaurant... what can I say, I'm a sucker for a good fajita.

14. Bob and Zack. Strange, I know... but, whenever Josh needs help with anything around the house or his parents house he can always count on either one of them to drop what they are doing and come help him.

15. My handyman. I know I already said I was thankful for Josh, but, I am thankful for him being such a handyman. I don't know how he does it, but it seems like the guy can do anything! You need something rigged up? Go see Josh Hill, he will figure it out.

16. My phone. It's sad but I'm addicted.

17. Abe and Marie. I'm glad that my brothers have found such great gals to make them happy. They are good to my brothers and that's all I could ask for.

18. Wine. I love it and miss it. Having a child has hurt our relationship.

19. My washer and dryer... I went a year without either. Not having them for that long made me definitely appreciate having them now.

20. Kim, the midwife I went to while pregnant. She calmed all of my fears and made sure I was 100% comfortable during pregnancy and labor. I actually miss seeing her every week. I'm so glad I had someone who truly cared for me and my baby.

21. Nap time. It's what keeps me sane most days.

22. Shows like Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, and 16 and Pregnant. Watching just one episode always makes me appreciate my wonderful life.

So, I meant to have something for every day of November... my mind has stopped working and nap time is over so I must finish at a later time.
