Friend Makin' Mondays!!!

Today the topic is 10 things that I am thankful for, so here goes everything..lol

Here are 10 things I'm super thankful for:

1. I'm thankful that God gave me this life to live and that he sits by me everyday and watches me make bad decisions along with good ones and I'm glad he sticks with me through it all. I'm glad he lifts my head up when I'm feeling down and I'm glad that no matter what I can turn to him. I'm glad that he is my God.

2. I'm thankful for having a loving and wonderful family. I'm thankful to have two married parents that treat me like I belong. I'm thankful that my mom is my best friend. I'm thankful for those little birthday parties we have out of town all the time with her side of the family.

3. I'm thankful for spending a few short years with my Granny. I'm glad I got to know her and I'm glad I spent the last years of her life with her. It was hard watching her take dialysis and seeing how much pain it put her through everyday. I'm thankful for learning how to cook from her and I'm thankful for getting to chance to know her.

4. I'm thankful for having wonderful friends. I learned this weekend how much I cherish my friends. I was having a hard day Saturday after learning some news about another friend who is currently in Aphganistan. My friends came and pried me out of the house and took me out and they kept my mind off of eveything and then yesterday they showed up at my house and spent the day with me. I'm so thankful for them because I wouldnt know what to do without them.

5. I'm thankful for Saturday mornings. Saturday morning my grandparents drive an hour and come and spend the morning with my mom and me walking the flea markets and spending time with us. I cherish this, because I dont know how much longer I will actually have this with my grandparents.

6. I'm thankful that my mom and me are soo close and that I can pretty much tell her just about anything. I love spending the rest of my Saturdays with her and I really hate leaving her at home while my daddy works, so I try my best not to. Yes, we fight sometimes, but isnt that what Mothers and Daughters do..lol

7. I'm thankful for having a roof over my head.

8. I'm thankful for having a vehicle to get me from place to place, even if it does get picked on because the hood doesnt match right now.

9. I'm thankful for God sending my sister on the right track. I'm thankful for him getting her out of this town and letting her take the kids with her. I'm thankful that she has changed and I hope our relationship only goes forward from her, so that one day we have a relationship like my Mother and her sisters.

10. I'm thanful for a wonderful Airmen as my brother. I'm thankful for everything he has done for me and I'm thankful for what he is doing for my country right now. I'm thankful that he has always been there for me no matter what.

I'M VERY THANKFUL!!!!!
