Thankful

Since it's the Thanksgiving season (and the actual day is tomorrow), I felt it was appropriate to list all of the things that I am thankful for this year.


My Parents
I have absolutely no idea where I would be without my family. They are by far the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Without my parents, I have absolutely no idea where I would be. I could have ended up somewhere in Europe, with another family, starving in Korea somewhere, or worse, dead. My parents have been there for me with everything that I have ever done in life - from raising and feeding me, to being at all my sporting events, graduations, and other important life events. I know that no matter what happens in life, they'll always be there for me. And there's no greater feeling than that. Mom and Dad - I love you guys!
My Boyfriend
I think Paul might be a saint. He puts up with all of my shenanigans (and there's been some random ones) and loves me still! I can't believe we've been together for 3 years. It's been so awesome and I have no idea what life would be like without him. And I don't think I want to know, either! I am so grateful to have such a supportive boyfriend who is so understanding of all my quirks and work schedule. I definitely don't take him for granted!! Paul - you are the best boyfriend ever.
My Brother
A few years ago, I might have thought that my brother was the devil, especially when he called me a stupid head. But now, I realize that he's a pretty cool guy. It's nice to have someone to hang out with when I go home and know that I have a friend, always. I know that I can tell him anything and he'd never judge me. (I hope I can say the same for him.) Dan - I hope you know how much I love you and how proud of you I am.
My Grandparents
Not everyone is as lucky as I am. Some people never get to know their grandparents, while I have had the fortune of knowing all 4 of my grandparents. And while I don't get to see them as often as I would like, I still do love them and miss them just the same. And Grandma Jay, I miss you!
My Friends
Friendship can never be overrated. Guys - you are all amazing and I love you all so much.
My Health
It seems kind of cliche to be thankful for my health, but I know that it's not something to be taken for granted.
My Co-Workers
Without you guys, work would be horribly boring and not worth doing on a daily basis.
