Family

I decided to start a "Thankful Book". It was my own idea to just get small notebook and I decorated it. Every night I have been writing one thing big or small that I am thankful for and why I am thankful for it. A lot of the recent things I have written have been about my family. It is really amazing to sit and think of the little things about every one that I am thankful for. Here are a few...
I am so thankful for the way Chayse (my niece) says my name and gets so excited to see me. I love how McKay (my nephew) tells me all about Thomas, Percy, and even his new Scarlooey trains. I could not even tell my sister how much I love her. I have always looked up to her and especially lately we have been great friends and I love that I can call her to laugh, to go shopping, or even just to cry. I am so thankful for Jordan (brother-in-law) his humor lightens our house, he is an example of what I want in a husband and I am so thankful for the way he provides and loves my sister. I love my dad, his acceptance and the way he deals with me. Out of anyone in my family when I have a crazy idea or plan my dad is right by my side (it sometimes takes a while to convince everyone else in my family that I know what I am doing). My mom, I am so grateful for our friendship. I actually love the dis-function that is in our relationship. One moment she is my best friend the next moment we are screaming at each other, and 5 seconds later we decide to go shopping together. My family is great...my thankful book has really made me realize that I would die with out them!
