11/2- today I am very thankful for dental insurance an an amazing endontist who did my root canal today.
11/3- today I am thankful for my sweet little Penny. I treasure her cuddles, curiosity, sass and ability to teach me about what is truly important. She really is the best of both RC and I mixed together.
11/4- TGIF! Today I'm thankful for my parents. I appreciate the sacrifices and decisions they made for my sisters and I even more now that I'm a parent. And, seeing them enjoy being grandparents is just about the coolest thing ever! Love you mom & dad!
11/5- today I'm thankful for my sister Missy who sneaks in, cleans up and wears Penny out with her crazy energy. She's crafty, caring, not afraid to tell you what she thinks and FUN! Love you Missy!
11/6- thankful for my sister Becky who loves my Penny just as much as I do! She's patient, sensitive and an amazing teacher who is changing the world! She can also crack herself up like no one else! Love you Becky!
11/7- today I am thankful for my sister Nicole. She's organized, meticulous, can tackle any project and has a huge heart. So glad she's back on the East Coast, so Penny really can drive to see Aunt Nic! Love you Nic!
11/8- so very thankful for my sister-in-law Megan. Over the past few weeks she's been more supportive than she knows! She can make Penny giggle like no one else :) she's an amazing PT and an amazing sister to RC! Love you Aunt Meggie!
11/9- today I'm thankful for my sister in law Terra, one of the smartest people I know. We are so lucky Penny has her as a role model- showing her that girls can excel in math & science. She's brave (chasing tornadoes), strong (triathalons are no match for her) and beautiful! Love you Terra!
11/11- thankful for those brave men and women who have represented America.
11/12- Thankful for happily ever after's and a great night with family! Congrats MaryAnn & Rocky!
11/13- thankful for Lisa, who always seems to know what I'm thinking and is always there when I need her. She's an amazing mom, wife and friend!
11/14- thankful for childhood friends who've been so influential, who help me remember who I am and who are just amazing people. Thankful for all I've learned from them!
11/15- thankful for my HS girlfriends, who love me despite my quirks. These girls have grown to be amazing women and I'm so glad we still have each other! We've had so many adventures over the years- the concerts and road trips and 90210 parties and girls weekends...it's nice to be able to act like a kid again, even in my 30's! I can't wait to see where we'll go next!
11/16- thankful for my college roomies, who taught me how to live a little and make the best of everyday. I miss our kitchen dance parties and midnight trips to Walmart. I miss sharing closets and always having someone to talk to. I love that we are still friends and can't wait to see you all again soon!
11/17- thankful for everything Bloomsburg had to offer, for the amazing experiences I had and friends I met during my time in the only town in Pennsylvania.
11/18- TGIF! In desperate need of a weekend. Thankful I have a job, even on a rough week. More thankful for some awesome co-workers who help keep things in perspective! And for Ellen, who really runs the show!
11/19- thankful to have reached the 24 week mark. Thankful for the perspective we've gained over the past 12 weeks! And, thankfully looking forward to meeting a little boy who will be more alike than he is different.
11/20- thankful for Heidi, the best thing accounting has brought me. She is one of those amazing people who sees the good in everything. Moving to Media after college with her was one of my favorite adventures. I wish we lived closer today!
11/21- thankful for Penny's daycare teachers who love her and teach her new things everyday. They are the most patient people and we're lucky to have found them! I wish I got to spend my days with her, but since I don't, it's comforting to know that she is with people who treat her with love!
11/22 thankful for Bloomsburg swimming! The team was my 2nd family and Coach Rider and Coach King helped guide me through the best four years I could have hoped for! I learned a lot in and out of the pool and made some of the best friends I have. I was terrified when I walked into the swimmers house that first night, worried that I wouldn't fit in or that I wouldn't be fast enough. I quickly learned there was a place for everyone, even a "mom" like me. I am so thankful for the experience and love to read the letters in my senior gift scrapbook to remember just how much fun we ha
d!11/23- Thankful for all the amazing people in my life and this world who inspire me to be a better wife, mother, employee and person. I am lucky to have crossed paths with so many amazing people! Wish I could thank them all personally!
11/24- thankful to be spending the day with family, remembering that we have so been given so much! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
11/10- today I am thankful for my in-laws. They may not live close, but they sure are there when we need them and we love our Sunday web cam dates- Penny really loves to tell them all about her week! Love you Grammy and Pa! Can't wait for you to visit for Christmas!
And then Aunt Meg helped with bathtime and read me stories.
Those two can make me laugh! When Aunt Meg & I are together, you know a giggle-fest is going to happen :)
They even let me feed them some apple jacks! (Thanks guys for being such good sports when Penny wanted to "share" her snack with you!)
I loved every second of their visit and hope I'll get to see them again soon!
