I am Thankful For

I am not sure if a list can fully encompass all that I am thankful for.  As I sit here now, I am listing things out and thinking that people will never know how much they have touched and affected my life.

Things I Am Thankful For

My Husband
We met about two years ago.  It has been fabulous.  He is a man of God who wants to improve our relationship and treats me like a princess.  I am so lucky that we found each other.  I could not imagine my life without him!








  My Family

 I am very thankful for my family.  I have a lot of people in my life, but my true family members have always been there for me.  Family are the people who will never leave your side and are the ones that are there for you when you truly need them.

 My family has grown over the years with my cousins children and now my husbands family.   I am very blessed with all of the people  in my life that I consider to be my family.

 And if you didn't know, Chris and I are now an Aunt and Uncle! 
This is our niece Caroline Harper Rainey!







My Friends

I have some fabulous friends.  They have always been there for me no matter the time of day.  Here is one of my favorite Thanksgiving memories.  This was our Junior Year at Miami University.  We had a Thanksgiving dinner with all of our friends in our house.  Of course to come to dinner you had to dress up as a Thanksgiving character (Pilgrims and Indians were the most common).
I am truly blessed!

My Job

I am one of the very fortunate people in this world to have a job.  This is my fifth year of teaching in Mason ( I know, times flies).  I am very lucky to work in a district that cares so much about their students and teachers.  The picture you see to the left is my office.  I hope I am able to continue to teach in Mason for many more years.

My Home
Despite the countless hours of work that have been put into the house, I love  our house.  We are very fortunate to be in the position to own a home that Chris and I can grow into.  I know that all houses are money pits, but our money pit is slowly becoming our home.

My Health
I am very thankful that I am healthy.  There have been many people in my life in the past few years that have struggled through health issues.  I have not had any (beyond being sick here or there).  Chris and I have decided to become more healthy and we have both lost a considerable amount of weight.  I am happy that we are able to lose the weight and in turn become healthier.  Hopefully both of these trends will continue.

There are a lot of other things I am thankful for, but I do not have the time to write them down.

If you have not taken the time to think about what you are thankful for, stop and take a moment to see how wonderful life really is.

Happy Thanksgiving!
