Things to be thankful for

Of course this year has me counting the things to be thankful for. I have to publish these so as not to forget them!

• My boyfriend, Larry, who has really helped open my eyes to many different worlds. He's been with me for 6 years and I'm very surprised I haven't driven him completely nuts by now. We know how to make each other laugh and how to support each other when we're down. I'm so happy with our relationship and can't wait to see what many things come in our future :)

• My Family, without them I would never be close to the person I am. My mom has NEVER given up on me, and taught me so much. My grandparents and aunts helped grow with me and taught me how to be fun and to never give up on myself. To always go after what I want, work hard, and never settle for something I don't deserve. My brothers and step dad, who never let me forget to laugh! And, not to forget, my extended family: The Wilson's, I've never felt more complete now that I have even more people to share the love with.

• My cats, who help me unwind if I'm upset. I know it's silly, but they really make me feel good when I'm sad, always wanting to comfort me. The way they cuddle with us at night, and although they like to be chased, they never leave our sides when we're around.

• My friends, I think every girl needs a close group to help them when family or boys can't :)

• My job, my health, and my stable lifestyle. Who knows where I'd be if I hadn't had those along the way?

There's really so much to be happy about, I'm sure there's more than this, but these ones are definitely worth mentioning!

So this year I decided to create a new tradition of making French toast for breakfast, it went off pretty well and I think it'll be one I keep.

For dinner, we went to Cindy's and played some MarioKart on the WII, Larry kicked some butt :)





While the guys played, the girls gossiped in the kitchen, while eating pie

After that we drove over to Larry's grandparent's house where we played our usual game of poker (that's his uncle Darren in the picture), of course I forgot I had my camera till after everyone left, but Larry ended up winning the last game of the night on this too.
