Lucky

Today, like a lot of days lately, I realize that I have so much to be thankful for.  

I have two adorable kids.  I cannot believe my little boy is five already.  It does not seem like he could be five already.  He will start school soon and that's just crazy.  His little life is about to change so much.  I hope that he knows that I will always be there for him and he can talk to me about anything.  

I have the best family.  I think a lot of people try to claim this, but no really I have the best- just ask my sister.  My mom planned and bought everything for Austin's party.  Yet another reason I might be a bad mom, but I know I can always depend on her.  My parents have always been a great support to me.  I am lucky enough to call my sister one of my best friends.  Even though she's way cooler than me, we have become really close these past couple years.

My friends- New and old- I am lucky.  I am still so close with my best friends from high school.  We have had our ups and down, but they are still the best friends I could ask for.  I am also lucky enough to work with people that I call friends, people that push me everyday to be better.  

So many other things... I am financially stable with no debt other than house and car, new, beautiful, fun car(zoom zoom), dvr with nice TV to match, starting school that is paid for plus extra money(in love with the GI Bill), enough smarts that I know school will not be horrible- I know it will be hard, but not horrible.

Everyday there is something more to be thankful for... another smile, another joke, another realization that I am lucky to live the life I lead.  It's not my best life yet, but I'm working on it.
