let me count my blessings.. :)

Top ten things I'm so thankful for:

1) My God-his mercy, his grace, his LOVE.  I am because he is. 
2) My Family- Matt, Drew, Ella, and Lucy- how lucky am I! Two wildly funny munchkins and one perfect innocent baby- and Matt to keep me sane yet drive me crazy :)  My soulmate! My amazingingly wonderful and over generous Mom- be lost without her!  My sisters- Chandra and Tiffany- can't even count how many times they have saved the day for me.  My Dad- gone but never forgotten- made me the stubborn weido that I am.  Gosh I LOVE my family. 
3) More Group- WOW!  Strangers who instantly became friends that are like family to me.  People who just love you for who you are- people who actually except you despite your brokenness and screwed up life.  Especially our fearless leaders- Doc and Melissa- who have picked me up out of the dirt and encouraged me endless times.  I'm so blessed to be part of this group.
4) My extended family- My Grandpa Jack, my aunts and uncles and cousins!  And my former inlaws- Bill, Donna, and my Meg- once a family- always a family
5) My coworkers- Lucy, Jamie, Michelle, Kim, and super floats- Laura, Jessica, and Norma- Love you girls- cannot recall a day that I did not laugh at work.  This job would suck without you all :)
6) My health- HA HA HA- so my cholesterol may be off the chart bad- and I'm techincally obese- but hey I'm alive and kicking. 
7) My house- I'm blessed to have a home- small as it may be- we are snug as a bug.  There are so many that don't have that simple luxury as a roof over their head.
8) My job- far from my dream job- but could be sooooo much worse.  Pays most of my bills...
9) My past- yup my past.  Good times and bad- wouln't be who I am or where I am if it had not happened just how it did.
10) My future- who know what it will bring- a marrige someday to my sweetheart Matt- no more kids- unless Ella gets her way and we take in all the children without a mommy or daddy- BLESS HER SWEET LITTLE HEART- she will share her room and toys.  I'm sure there will be happy times, bad days, tragedies, smiles, laughs, sickness, joy beyond belief, some of this some of that- but I will trust God where he leads me (might be angry and kick and scream and try to control every detail- but where he leads me I will eventually let go and follow)  Hey at least I'm honest :)

Happy Thanksgiving
