I am thankful for all the great bloggers. They inspire me, motivate me, teach me.

I am thankful for my in-laws. I have 2 sets with Rob’s parents being divorced. One lives closer, one that lives farther, but ones that I see about the same amount. I’m happy that we don’t have a love-hate relationship like many in-laws experience. They are always supportive and loving.

I am thankful for the Food Network! I can’t tell you how much I have learned from the hours and hours that I’ve watched that channel. Rob can attest that if I’m at home and the TV is on, it’s probably on Food. From Rachel Ray to Paula Deen, I love ’em all.

I am thankful for our little humble abode. I love our house. I am thankful to have a roof over my head and one that is large enough to store all our “stuff.” All the little things we take for granted like heat, AC, running water. I am blessed.

Here’s a few pics of Daisy hanging out on the back deck. Enjoying the breeze Watching for squirrels and chipmunks Walking around to stay awake Gave in to the temptation…dozing

1. A nervous habit I have is shaking my leg or rocking front to back. 2. Something that makes me sad is being away from my family. 3. Today I am thankful for medication. 4. My favorite room in my house is the living room. 5. I can’t stand inconsiderate people. 6. If I had an extra $100 to spend on whatever I wanted today I would buy some new clothes. 7. The last person I hung out with was Rob.

I am thankful for our wonderful community of Auburn. Small town feel that is growing and thriving. Not much traffic, except on game weekends. A college community with so many awesome opportunities and resources.

I am thankful for technology. As frustrating as it can be sometimes, it’s a way of life. Without technology I literally wouldn’t be where I am today!

One night not long ago, I got back to work after my dinner break and found this note on my computer. Usually I get “love notes” left for me on Facebook from my students, but this time I got one that I can keep in my office. Just another reason, I love my job.

I am thankful for my family near and far. I’m especially thankful for my Mom and Dad and my Grandparents. They are a great mixture of personalities and I’ve learned so much from them. I’ve got memories to cherish, for sure. And BTW, Granny, who’s my only living Grandparent, IS going to live forever! She can’t leave me.

I am thankful for Rob. He’s: – educated – articulate – steadfast – assertive – loving – friendly – wonderful – understanding – opinionated – my hottie – my best friend – my rock

I am thankful my boys. They amaze me in so many ways and I know I don’t tell them that enough. Who couldn’t love these cuties? A few things I love about teenager: – a true believer in his Lord and Savior – responsible – organized – smart – super duper cute…after all he does take after me 😉 A few things I love about Alex: – so thoughtful – has such a sweet heart – so good at math – making improvements in school – still loves his “babies” – yes, he’s super duper cute too!

Something that made me laugh this week was old video footage that I’ve been going through. 4. An item that is currently on my wish list is pinking shears. 5. I am excited about the holidays. 6. If I were a color I would be blue. 7. My favorite way to spend a chilly fall day is by enjoying the beautiful, changing leaves.

I’m thankful for our veterans; for those past, present, and future. My adopted soldier came home this week and I’m so happy for him and thankful for the sacrifices that are made by him, his family, and for all the soldiers that are fighting for this great country. God bless America!
