13 Things I'm Thankful for


I was tagged by Robyn, so I thought I would share the 13 things I'm thankful for.
1)My wonderful hubby. He has been such a blessing in my life and treats me like a queen. He bought me my convertible this summer...just because. He's worked so hard on all the reno's around our place and has done a really good job.
2)My 2 children, Kelsey who is 13 and Mike who is 11. They are real treasures to me and are growing up so fast. They make our family complete.
3)My parents, who live in the same town. As quirky as they can be at times, I love them dearly and would be sad if we didn't live in the same town. They have been so wonderful with my kids and my mom gets to go to swimming and skating and goes to other school events that I can't go to because I have to work. I am thankful for her camera, so I can enjoy the pictures she takes.
4)My sister and her family. Growing up me and my sister were rivals, but now that we have both grown up (sort of) I would totally be lost with out her. Plus my 2 nephews are so great. It's nice to see them being so close to my kids. Mike and Brian are ichatting and playing rune scape together. It's like they can be together even when they are so far apart.
5) My friends. Robin, who has been my friend for 33 years. She's always been there for me and trust me; we've been through a lot. Also my friend Robyn, who moved away to the city of Regina. She's been a gift from God to me. At least we can keep in touch through emails and bloggings. I am thankful for my friend Brenda. When we get together, we always have a great time and we never get bored of each other. I like visiting her because we get to go to Starbucks and Chapters. We have similar interests in books and I always enjoy a walk through Chapters. I cannot wait for the day I can buy her novel at the book store. She is very talented and I enjoy having a fellow Mac lover for a friend. I am also thankful for all my other friends that I can keep in touch with on facebook.
6)I am thankful for my home and all the reno's that went on to make it feel more like a home and less like a trailer. I am hoping one day to be able to buy a real house. For now my I am happy with my house and the small mortgage payment that goes with it.
7) I am thankful for my health. I had some eye problems earlier this year, but now things seem to have settled down and I am eating healthy and excercising and feeling good about my self. Except when I eat too much sweets, but hey it's Christmas right?
8)It seems funny to be thankful for my job, but I really am. We could not survive if I didn't work. So, as bad as my job can be at times, I'm lucky to work full time days and have weekends off. Which makes sense when we get to reason #9
9)I am thankful for being out of debt other than mortgage and utility bills. This has enabled me to save up and we are going to Disney in 42 days.
10) I am thankful that I still have my grandma and grandpa. They are getting on in years, but they are still around and missed and loved every day. Lots of my friends don't have any living grandparents. It's just a sign that we are getting older.
11)I am thankful for Flavours Coffee shop. It's no Starbucks, but they make an awesome Maciatto. I love my coffee and I have 2 for 1 coupons, so I can treat my friends.
12)Oh yes I'm also thankful to have God in my life. I'm sad that we are churchless right now, but I am looking forward to changing that in the New Year. Maybe one day we can help with another church plant in another city, so we can finally move and get a house.(: All in his time, so I best be patient.(:
13) I am thankful for my Mac computer that is so awesome. Video chatting is awesome, so no more long distance phone calls to my friends with computers! Plus having the internet to email and keep in touch with everyone is awesome.

So, there you have it! I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
