The book review website
Books
Our cozy apartment; small but home
And all the little things that add up to this life I love
my family
my kids
my job and dh's job that has allowed us to not have to worry to much.
my friends
my new car
the experiences i have had the last year
the wonderful small town I live in
and I am very thankful all of my family lives close and we are all able to get together for thanksgiving and spend time together.
the support I have always had from my mom
my family's health
great friends that are always around when I need their support
the fact that I will be graduating in 4 more weeks
And of course I'm thankful that I have met great women like you all that support each other when times are tough.
- my DH, he's such a rock and can always cheer me up when I'm down
- our families, who understand and don't pressure (too much!)
- my friends back home, who I'm still able to keep in touch with even though I'm so far away
- my new friends in London
- my and DH's jobs, which we're lucky to have stability with given we work in the quite volatile and fickle financial services industry
- our ability to travel where and when we want to
Cecilia arrived 12 October 2012
* Kyle
* our friends and family - they are always there to support us
* our jobs - I'm so grateful that Kyle finally has a job that he loves
* our pets - our lives would definitely not be the same without them
* our house - although it still needs work, it serves it's purpose
*My husband
*My family and friends
*My dog babies and the opportunity to help in fostering others
*Our wonderful, amazing house that we're getting to spend Thanksgiving in this year
*My health
*The fact that I have a job (even though I despise it)
*That my grandma is doing well after her ordeal
*That we have plenty in savings when so many people are struggling in this economy
It's funny, Phil and I have been talking about how incredibly lucky we are - every time a door has closed, another one really has opened (sometimes months later, but it has opened nonetheless).
In no order:
* Phil - who I just love so, so much.
* My job - so rewarding
* Our home - I love the place we're at (it's out last week here) and am excited for our new place next week.
* My family and friends - I cannot wait to spend Christmas with them!

*My Benjamin, I love him so much.
*My Family, They have been great to us.
*My God, He has truly provided for us this year in miraculous ways.
*My little cat Rocco, she just is so silly and playful she always lightens the mood.
*My Friends, although it has been hard to find friends in a new town the ones I do have here have been amazing. Also, the ones I have back home have been a great support as well.
-John
-Our new house
-Living closer to my mom and siblings
-The new friends I've made since moving here
-The food in my fridge. There really are so many people who aren't eating tomorrow, it breaks my heart. Though I'm happy to learn that in this area there are several places (restaurants, charity kitchens, grocery stores) that are offering free meals to those who need it, which does not happen down south. And it's not just for the homeless, it's for anyone who needs it.
*Aaron
*My parents and extended family
*My friends (this includes you ladies)
*Having a roof over my head
*Having the means to travel and live the lifestyle that we do
*Good health for me and my family
