To be Thankful..

Today is Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
Today I am going to write about the things I am thankful for this year. There is so much and I am thankful all year round, but today is a day to reflect on that.

So this year I am thankful for....

My family- without their love and support, I am not sure I would be where I am today

My friends- who always know when I need them, who listen and laugh and cry with me, who are always there no matter what, or the distance.

My kitties- they make me smile when I sometimes don't think that I can. They snuggle and love unconditionally.

My health - I have health problems, I know this, but I am alive and moving and that is a lot to be thankful for

Most importantly I am thankful for my husband. I am thankful that he is brave and was able to come home safely from deployment. I am thankful that our love continues to grow and I am thankful that he and I have found one anoter in life and are able to love each other the way we do.

I have so many other things that I am thankful for as well. I think today is a day to reflect on the people and things in our lives that we are grateful for.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. May you have a wonderful day with you and yours.

JMS - I love you and I am so proud of you.

so yeah

So yeah... I stink at updating.
I have a ton of pictures to put up. I did put them on my flickr. So I feel like that is at least a start.
But yeah I am being lazy and not putting them on here.

Jack and I are watching our favorite show right now. Biggest Loser. I love it. It is so inspirational. It makes me feel good to see people making a positive change. I was talking to a friend today, B. B's wife is a nurse and B relayed a story his wife had told him. It made me sad. Basically B's wife has a patient that is so big that on the weight part of the forms it just says over 750 and this person is 32 years old. It is so sad. This person is dying and there is nothing that medical personnel can do to help. They can't even get an accurate weight. It makes me so sad. To think that person got that far and now they are slowly dying.
So yeah I watch Biggest Loser and it makes me happy to see people making positive changes in themselves.

Tonight my coworkers and I went to a Greek restaraunt. It was all right. They kept randomly throwing napkins and screaming OPA!. That was a little weird. I kept covering my food, cause I didn't want napkins falling all over my food. They also had a belly dancer and she definitely got on the table and danced. She pulled my manager up on the table to dance. It was hysterical. B got up there and danced too. I took pictures. I couldn't not.

Lets see what else about today... oh yeah... Happy 234th Birthday Marine Corps!! And most importantly to my favorite Marine!!!

Pictures from the Marine Corps ball are going to be in the next post. I promise to be better about updating. haha.

So I hope that everyone is doing well!

JMS- Happy Birthday to my favorite Marine... I love you.
