Being Thankful

I cannot express how excited I am for Thanksgiving.  The food is not what I'm excited about, its seeing my family again.  Holland will always be home to me and I'm a little homesick.  When we're home, we hope to soak in as much family and friend time as allowed. 

Thanksgiving is also a time to reflect on everything we are grateful for.  Sometimes I feel we are surrounded by so much negativity and this is a great time to think about all the wonderful things life has.  These are my "Thanksgivings" (in no particular order :))

*Family! Don't know where I would be without them.  My parents, Brett's parents, our sisters, my brother, my brother and sister in law, my Grandma, Brett's Grandpa, our Aunts and Uncles and all our cousins.  Your love and support mean the world to us!

*Friends:Young and old :) I am very grateful for our friends.  All of your support has been awesome! Thank you!

*Breslin: I don't think I know of any other dog with so much personality.  She brings so much joy into our lives.

*The Edwardsburg Eddies! Brett's job.  Even though this job moved us to South Bend, I'm grateful that Brett is in a place he loves.  He is doing what he loves and seems to be smiling more then not :)

*Dr Jarrett: Because its football season, I will give  you some of Dr Jarrett's stats.  He is the number 1 fertility specialist in the state of Indiana and ranked number 13 in the nation! I am so grateful to be in such great hands. 

*My Coworkers: I thank them for their love and support.  I thank them for covering me.  They have been completely understanding when I give short notices that I have to go to Indy or when I have to leave the office for 45 minutes for a doctor appt and blood work.  You girls are the best!

*Holland: The place I call home.

*MSU!! Even though they haven't given us a whole lot to Cheer about this season, I'm still grateful for them.  Nothing excites me more then being on campus and seeing the school spirit.  Some of our greatest memories are on MSU campus :)  I love going to any sport event and getting all my Spartan gear on.  GO GREEN!!

*Music: For those of you that know me well, know that I love to sing.  I love all types of music, from Christian to Eminem.  From Country to Broadway.  I love how it effects my emotions.  I can remember song lyrics better than remembering what I did yesterday.  I may not be the best singer out there, but I love it!

***and most importantly I'm thankful for, Brett: His constant love and encouragement are everything to me.  We have been through some tough times, but we have so many more fun times.  I cherish our car rides when we talk, laugh and even sing together.
