30 Days of Thankfulness...Catching up Days 1-13

I've seen a couple of people I know doing this on Facebook, and I really wanted to join in; however I didn't have access to a computer from November 2nd-5th. Anyways, I still want to do it, so I'm going to catch up tonight and start tomorrow.

1st - I'm thankful to God for the life he gave me. Without Him, I would be nothing.

2nd - I'm thankful for my husband. He is a really good man (can't speak for the times he was young, though...hahaha!) and a very loving husband and daddy.

3rd - I'm thankful for my beautiful baby girls. There is nothing else to say; I am beyond blessed to be a mother to Mary Claire and Molly.

4th - I'm thankful to my parents. My mom and dad are two special people who raised two great children. My parents would do anything for my brother and me and I would do anything for them. I love seeing my parents as grandparents - they could quite possibly be the definition of the "perfect grandparents."

5th - I'm thankful for my job. I know I complain about it a lot, but it is a very rewarding job, and it also provides for my family.

6th - I'm thankful for days off during the week. Those days off allow me a chance to recoup during the week, and I seem to thrive off of it.

7th - I'm thankful for the baby I lost. I thank God that I got to experience that tragedy in order to appreciate my pregnancies with Mary Claire and Molly is such a deeper way.

8th - I'm thankful for my religion. I have been thinking about this a lot lately and I really enjoy the traditions of the Catholic Church (even though the Mass is changing!).

9th - I'm thankful my day care providers. I can not say enough about the day care Mary Claire and Molly attend (actually my old day care!). Those ladies love my girls almost as much as my family does!

10th - I'm thankful for my house. I'm ready to turn it into a home, and we are working on it.

11th - I'm thankful for all Veterans.

12th - I'm thankful for vacations.

13th - I'm thankful for my health. I've been thinking about this recently, and I'm ready to get back to being active. I'm planning to start January 1st (typical, typical I know!) to do a morning workout every morning for the month. Fingers crossed....

I'm hoping to keep this up for the next 17 days.
