22 - My wonderful furbabies, Beasley and Stella. They are getting into the Christmas spirit by playing with the ornaments and chewing on the Christmas tree.
21 - Our home. We've been in our house for a year and it's been fun doing little projects here and there. It really feels like it's our home.
20 - Spending Thanksgiving with my BIG extended family. Bless Derrick's heart. Since most of my extended family is from out of town, Derrick doesn't get to see them as often. So we had run through pictures and go over names before we made it to Thanksgiving dinner.
19 - Saturday coffee talk with my mom. Since the wedding, my mom and I decided she would come over the first Saturday of every month and have coffee. It is just a time for us to spend some quality time together.
18 - I survived my first 5k. I am thankful I didn't keel over and die after running that thing. Unfortunately, I haven't ran since so I need to get back into it. But I'm still glad I made the effort and proud of myself for how I did.
17 - My gas oven. Even though it's retro (I think the brand is Hot Spot or something and it came with the house), I love cooking with it.
16 - I can cook. I am thankful for this because if I didn't, we'd probably starve.
15 - Changing seasons. I am not a fan of cold weather, but I am thankful that the seasons do change. It lets us know that time goes on, things change and so do we, hopefully for the better.
14 - The little things. I am thankful for a friendly smile or a helping hand. Even if the teenager at the drive-thru window tells me to have a nice day without throwing my food onto my lap, I'm pretty content.
13 - My book club. This is one of the best group of girls you'll ever meet. They are supportive, hilarious and just good people.
12 - Anti-aging cream. Yes, I have started using this stuff. Might as well slow down the signs of aging, right?
11 - Our leaf blower. This has been a godsend this year. Last year we just left piles of leaves all over the yard throughout winter. When spring came, we had large circles of dead grass. This year, we invested in a leaf blower/vacuum/best invention ever.
10 - A job to go to. It's been a rough couple of years for some folks. I thank God every day that I have somewhere to go. And while every day may not be the best day at work, as long as I have a job, I will always be grateful.
9 - Multi-colored pens. They keep me organized and make my notes look pretty.
8 - K-State and MU going to bowl games. This makes our household very happy.
7 - Amazing friends. Between the both of us, Derrick and I have a great group of friends and we cherish each and every one of them.
6 - The storms in life. When it rains, it pours but eventually the sun comes out again. Believe it or not, I'm actually thankful for bad days because I always learn something about myself and they only make me stronger.
5 - Only 10 days until Florida. I can't wait to get to some warmer weather and little mini vacay with the hubby.
4 - 19 days until Christmas break. I need a break in a major way.
3 - A free Saturday. We spend most of our fall traveling to football games, but every once in a while we get a Saturday to do absolutely nothing. I love those days.
2 - An amazing year. It's been a great year filled with lots of changes and exciting things. I'm looking forward to 2011.
1 - My husband who is my world and my best friend.
