I am Thankful

I guess I will jump on the bandwagon and do a "thankful" post. But in all seriousness I am thankful for so much in my life. Sometimes I catch myself complaining about the little things, and hopefully I stop myself and remember all the good things I have...now I admit sometimes it takes me longer than others to just stop and breath and reboot. But this time of year always helps with that. So here it goes, I am thankful for...
1. Family: I have the most amazing parents, an awesome brother who is one of my best friends, and an amazing extended family and in laws.
2. Husband: I know he is family but I think he deserves his own line. He is always there for me, makes me feel like I am perfect just the way I am. When I am sad he can always without fail make me smile even if I fight it. He supports me in everything I do, even if sometimes I get these really stupid ideas for cool "projects" I want to do.
3. The military: now this one is an interesting one, I am thankful to the military in so many ways. I am thankful for all our soldier/airmen/sailors for their selfless service and sacrifice. I am thankful for my job (and yes the $$ they put up for me to get to this point), I am thankful for my Air Force and Navy "families" we have met so many amazing people. I am not thankful that they are "stealing" my husband away from me yet again, but I know it's a part of our job so what can you do.
4. Sniper: yes I am obsessed with my cat and I spoil him like he is my kid, but he the best pet ever and loves me unconditionally.
5. Friends: near and far I am thankful to have so many wonderful people in my life
6. House and food: so thankful to have a wonderful roof over my head and food in my stomach

I have so much in my life I am truly blessed! What are you thankful for this season?

Me and My couch

We got very well acquainted these past few days. I got a really nasty flu this week, and it was terrible. Mind you, I haven't had the flu in YEARS. I mean I have had colds, with the sniffles and such, but not a flu. I got home Tuesday from work and wasn't feeling great, but by 8pm I had a fever of 102 yikes! When I woke up Wednesday morning it was only down to about 101. Needless to say I took my first sick day in as long as I can remember...I hate missing work/school or whatever. Usually I can just "power" through, but this one totally took me down. I slept pretty much all day. By Wednesday night my fever finally broke and I was back down to normal, but still not 100% better. And now Friday still not 100% but definitely on way back to normal. I hope this continues because I do not want to waste my 3 day weekend with my couch, so fingers crossed. Happy Veterans Day weekend!
