Month of Thanks

Well, with it being November, I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon of the month of Thanks. I really had an awesome weekend with lots of cool stuff happening. The weekend itself was pretty uneventful but lots of luck came my way. So since today is the 8th I have a list of 8 things to catch myself up.

1: By far my number one- is of course McCall. :) He is so amazing. I have been really stressed with school, work, friends, just life and general and he is always there to help me out. He is in school and working pretty much 24/7 and he stil finds the time to help me clean the house, make me dinner, laundry, dishes... just everything. Such a sweet guy. I am so proud of him.

2: Next in the lineup would definitely be our parents. My dad set the bar pretty high for all the guys in my life and he takes care of pretty much everything for everyone in my family. Just all around the best dad a girl could ask for. My mom is right up there as well. She would do anything for any of us in the family and would drop everything to come help you if you needed it. She is just the best mom and everyone who knows her has nothing but nice things to say. McCall's parents are no different. And when I say parents I am meaning his mom Terri and step-dad Rick. Rick has treated McCall like one of his own from day one and he is always alot of fun with us when we come to visit. Terri is pretty bmuch the best mother-in-law I could ask for. We had kind of a slow start getting close but now she is kind of my confidant and I vent to her alot about life and she always says exactly what I need to hear. I'm so glad McCall has such a close relationship with her- he won't admit it but he needs his mom. He depends on her alot.

3: Ok so I won't write a novel for every single one of these things. :) Another thing I am thanksful for is my new found "luck". I got asked to help out at work doing practicals and so I get like 5 massages in the next 10 days. Right when I was in dire need of one too. AND a friend of mine is coloring my hair for free too. Wahoo!!

4: I am thankful for school. I hate it most days but I am thankful for the opportunity and for the doors it will open for me in the future.

5: I am thankful for my health. You definitely take it for granted until something goes wrong. So I am thankful that I have made it through all my issues and right now at this moment, I don't have any. :)

6: I am thankful for my job and McCall's job. I have some of the best clients and they make my job so much fun. I love my co-workers too. They are a big reason why I stay there- we just have so much fun. AND I just got my raise too- super awesome! McCall's job has been good to him this year- working with him so that he can do the academy- it's been really good.

7: I am thankful for my faith. It gives life meaning and it gives me comfort. At least I know that when everyone else turns their back on me- I will have my family and my faith and testimony. Nothing else matters.

8: Ok so today.... I am grateful for Starbucks. :) I am freezing my butt off from my long wet walk from my car to class this morning- so it will make life fantastic later tonight before I go to my next class and get my first massage- yay!

Hopefully I keep up on this through the whole month... if not- that's a pretty good list so far. :)
