Thankful

I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We were truly blessed to be surrounded throughout the week by all sorts of family, friends, and each other, while even throwing in a great game against tu in College Station--what a great week! There are pictures to come, but I was wanting to write down some things I am especially thankful for, while I am still thinking of them! I'm thankful for:
--Bryan passing the Bar!!
--A break from work, but thankful that I love what I do
--getting to see cousins I loved growing up with
--pumpkin spice "bites"--a new recipe!
--a new brother-in-law
--an oh-so-happy sister-in-law!
--In-laws that love me
--parents that love me
--my brother is back safe from Afghanistan
--Callie beginning to actually like to read, and getting excited when she reads all the signs on the road!
--Jack still wanting to snuggle with me and rub my neck (he started doing that as a baby)
--Macie almost jumping out of someone else's arms to get to me when I walk by
--Bryan not working right now
--Jack saying "mazageen" for "magazine"
--Aggies at least showing up against tu--gig 'em!
--college friends that are still so close despite our physical distance
--some actual cold weather
--church friends
--beginning of the Holiday Season--my favorite time of the year
--memories of a beloved cousin/friend that are becoming less painful and more precious with time
--Macie scrunching her nose when she smiles and looking like a carbon-copy mixture of her sister and brother
--Callie wanting to ride all the roller coasters at Disney World and having no fear
--best friends that always have an ear open for venting when I need it
...and so much more! Happy Thanksgiving!
