30 days complete

I am thankful for this wonderful life. It may not always be perfect, but we are so blessed. We have great family, stable jobs, a great group of friends, the most adorable daughter. The things in my life that I am so thankful for are not measured by money, which makes them even better. They are priceless. :o)

I am thankful for the 11 months I have been able to produce breast milk for our precious Katie Bug! She is doing so well and growing up so quickly! :o)

I am thankful for the talented co-workers that I work alongside. They make the day go by smoother and we have a lot of laughs. It is nice to be on a good team.

I am so thankful the day is over. I am so tired!!

I am thankful for sleepovers with grandparents ao that I can sleep in an extra 45 min! (I am beginning to see a theme of thankfulness for sleep. Hey, I take it when I can get it!)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is the "Mac Daddy" of Thankfulness.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I have so very much to be grateful for, as y'all have been reading along with me. I am so thankful today for wonderful childhood memories. Every year, Jon and I would run down the back alley to Grandma's house bright and early. All of our cousins would come over, and we would spend all day playing, stuffing ourselves and trying to eat just one more dessert. I was surrounded by family, my wonderful mom and dad, my cool aunts and uncles and the world's best grandparents.

Grandma always made such a wonderful Thanksgiving spread, and she still does! I wish that I were there to spend the day with everyone. To gather around the table with my 14 cousins, and their 20 children. I miss being able to see my whole family at one time; we are a big bunch. Now that we are older and have families and in-laws of our own, we aren't always together at the same time, but we always have that sense of family togetherness.

So today, I am so very thankful for the good roots that my mom and dad gave me and for the experiences, such as this one, that molded me into the woman I am today. And a special Thanksgiving to all the Murray clan. I wish we were there with you today. Love y'all.

I am thankful for family dinners. They are my favorite part of the day.

I am thankful for time spent together as a family.

Is thankful to have lost three pounds!! 22 more to loose.

I am thankful that we are able to give back to others. Got our "angel" from the Angel Tree today.

I am thankful for the ten months and 21 days I was able to pump milk for our Boo Bear.

I am thankful for the opportunity to spend quality time with good friends this weekend!

I am thankful for friends who are available to chat late at night when I need someone to talk to.

I am thankful for my mommie's generosity and excited for Katie's first birthday! It's going to be amazing!

"Me Time"

I am thankful for some free time to get away. With it being dark at 6pm and having worked more weekends this month than last, I am starting to feel secluded. Wake, pump, work, and sleep. Tonight, I managed to sneak away for a quick pedicure (first since July)! It felt good to just relax for an hour and not have to do anything.

I am thankful for the chances I get to take relaxing bubble baths.

I am thankful for weekend lunches with Katie (and sometimes Paul, usually my parents). I love getting to see her during my work day. It always brings a smile to my face and lights up my afternoon.

I am so thankful for my wonderful parents (and Katie is thankful for her amazing grandparents.) I could not have asked for a more loving and special mom and dad. They would (and have) do anything for myself, my brother, my husband, my baby girl, my friends...I love that they enjoy Kaitlyn as much as they do; it brings such joy to Paul and I to see them with her. Every weekend when my dad comes home, he is so excited to see Katie, and she inevitably ends up sleeping over sometime each week! :o) Mom has made it a point to see Katie Bug every single day since she has arrived (only missing two or three days), even if Katie is already asleep and she just comes over to hold her or smile at her. She is such a lucky and blessed baby girl, just like her mama and daddy. I am so thankful that our family has found peace and togetherness.

I am so thankful for good days at work! It has been a long time coming. The floor has been very rough lately.

I am so thankful for the freedoms that I am able to enjoy. Thank you to all the service men and woman who have fought and continue to fight for our freedoms and to protect this great county.
