Give Thanks!

I completely lost track of blog updates due to the holiday! But I have so much to be thankful for this year! So in a nut shell what I am thankful for:

1. My wonderful fabulous husband. There are so many aspects regarding my Matthew to be thankful for :)

2. My super awesome parents!! I have always been very family oriented but as you get older you can look back and be truly thankful for your parents especially. I am so thankful that my mom never tried to be my best friend growing up, but was simply my mother: mentor and support system. And now we are much closer because of it!

3. My AMAZING sisters!!! I am so thankful that I was able to have a sister, it is a bond and relationship that is simply indescribable and irreplaceable. :) They have both taught me so much and I am thankful for them both :)

4. My Grandma Hazel. I am so thankful for all of her wonderful cooking, especially her peanuts :) She is not the most affectionate person but I am thankful for all the moments I have been able to share with her.

5. My Pop Pop. I cannot believe that it has been 11 years since he passed, but I am so very thankful for each and every moment we shared and all the memories of him that I will be able to pass along to my children.

6. The Zelman Family. I am thankful to have the most amazing in-laws anyone could ask for. They welcomed me into their family with open arms. I am thankful that we (me and Matt) get along with both our families and they too get along with each other. :) PS I am thankful that I have two of the best brothers in the world now...I have always wanted brothers!

7. My little jookiebean! I cannot even begin to describe how thankful I am for my cousin Rachel. Growing up we were the best of friends and have continued to be through out our lives, so times it was easier as we lived closer together. She is currently stationed in Afghanistan at a British hospital working in the OR saving the lives of many American marines. She is such a strong and amazing woman to be able to make such a huge sacrifice and I am so thankful for all that she is giving.

8. My extended family. The Bradshaw Clan is huge and having always been a steadfast support system for me through out my life. I am so very thankful for the relationships that I saw with each and everyone of them. :)

9. My job. I am may not always be the happiest individual when it comes to my job, but who really is right? But I am always thankful that I have one. :)

10. Matt's IPAD :) Can we say addicted much? Yes I am thankful I bought it for his birthday in June and very thankful that he is so sweet and wonderful that he shares it with me daily :)

Of course I am thankful for many many other things but that is the tip of the iceberg! :)

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving Holiday with the Zelmans on Thursday and my family in Carrsville on Friday :) The highlight of my holiday weekend was playing scategories with both our families :) Oh how I love game nights!
