I have failed tremendously.....

I always have good intentions of blogging...but really the time just flies by these days. If I don't update my blog at work I never get it done. Yes I'm aware I shouldn't be doing it at work, but it happens. Oh come on...I'm sure you've done it at least once or twice. I can't be the only bad person..admit it. That's the first step.

So I supposed since I haven't caught with what I'm thankful I need to just make a list...I'll work on that and get back to you.

Grrrrr.....

Dear Snow,

I did not...I repeat DID NOT need to see you already today. Yes I realize that the upcoming holiday season will be here before we know it, but I'm still not quite ready. The wind cut through us last night walking from Awana to the car. I hate that feeling. So please stay away a while longer...I'm ok with you in December/January/and early February, but that is all.

Signed,

An upset person.

One of these days....

Day 7- I'm thankful for my extended family...My siblings, my nieces & nephews, etc etc. I have been through so much in my lifetime that I seriously would not have survived it without them. They have all been my rocks.

Day 8- Since I mentioned my extended family in the previous thanks..I'm going to talk about them separately...So the first person I'd like to say a special thanks is my sister, Robin. Robin is my best friend. When I was born she was 16 so we weren't close in age by any means so we didn't play dolls together or play dress up together. But through the yrs we have still been super duper close! And the older we get the closer we get. I thank God she is in my life. I wouldn't know what to do without my sister. She is always there for me. We talked almost everyday and some days more then once a day. Love her.

Day 9- My brother, Rod. I'm so thankful for him. Since I was born we've been really close. He is one that I can always go to for a chat. My mom always told me he would cancel his plans to babysit me. What a guy...not many brothers would do that. Most brothers are "too cool" to do that. Love him so much!

I'm AWFUL.

I was away at a wedding this past weekend so here are a few days in a row!

Day 4- Halloween Candy- Yup I said it....a few days last week I couldn't have gotten through the day without. Now of course I'm ready for it to be gone.

Day 5- My friend, Jenn. She lives in Australia and is home for her sister's wedding. We can go weeks without talking but we reconnect like we haven't missed a day the second she gets home. Love that girl.

Day 6- My friend, Lyndi. Love that girl. Been best friends forever...our parents took the hospital tours together when our moms were pregnant with us. That girl knows more about me then anyone. She is the one person who can bring me instantly out of a bad mood. Love her!

Day 2 & Day 3

Again....I'm behind so I'm posting two things I'm thankful in this post!

2.) God....In the past yr we have finally found a church where we feel like we fit in and the people there are just awesome. We have grown in our faith so much in the last yr I think. And the kids are part of a wonderful children's group.

3.) My parents....I lost my Mom about 4.5 yrs ago and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss her terribly. She was an amazing mother...I'm so thankful I got to spend almost 30yrs yrs with her. She passed away a week shy of my 30th birthday. My Dad is such an amazing father....he has helped me so much through the yrs and couldn't have been a better dad. I love him so so much!

30 Days of Thanks.....

So yes I'm aware I'm a day late, so today I'll pose twice! I had not even thought about this but saw it on a friend's facebook page and thought it would be a great idea!

Day 1.) I'm thankful for my life...like being alive. It's a great thing. ;)
