thankful.

thanksgiving day is finally here and i am both excited and exhausted!  the turkey is currently in the oven, we are finishing up some cleaning and i am about to start getting ready for our familia to come over.  but before i do that, i want to just share some of the things i am thankful for this year.  twenty-five of them, in fact.

home.

sisters.

family.

love.

riley.

freedom.

my heritage.

puppy love.

pumpkin spice cupcakes.

football.

my education.

the best girl friends a girl could ask for.

instant photos.

wind blown hair.

quiet time.

clean puppies.

running shoes.

good books.

bones (the show).

strong muscles.

home improvement.

words.

pencils and markers.

warm socks.

great music.

from today until new year's i'm going to try and post every day about something i am thankful for...tis the season you know?  i might repeat, occasionally, but sometimes it's the little things, like strong muscles, that get you through the day.  hopefully that will help to boost my spirits on the days i wake up and don't want to get out of bed. :)

i'm really looking forward to this entire holiday weekend and spending it with my loved ones.  i hope everyone has a wonderful thanksgiving and is surrounded by the people they love!
