Thankful

What a great idea! Natalia from Piece N Quilt, one of my favorite blogs, wants to know, what are you thankful for this year....?

It's sad to me that some of the only times we remember to reflect on what we are thankful for is around Thanksgiving. This year quite a few opportunities have presented themselves for me to remember to be thankful. Here is a mini review.

I am thankful for my husband
We celebrated out 1st anniversary this past summer.

for my parents
Who are so very generous to us.
The day after this picture was taken my dad was sent to the ER, and transferred to a bigger hospital where he was for 5 days. Then my parents had to travel 8 hours home. Not sure when they will visit me again :)

for my sisters
Who I wish I lived closer too, and miss all the time.

for my Grandma
Who we lost this year.
(She is the one who inspired my quilting habit. I only wish I could show her what I have been up to.)

for my friends
Who I also wish lived closer. But I am so thankful they see visiting me as an adventure.

for my in-laws
(mom, dad, sister, brother, niece, nephew, grandma, and grandpa)
Who take such good care of my husband and I.

for my job
Which I still have, and I LOVE (most days)

for my home
And all the spruce ups we have done to it.

for snow
Not for the times when it gets people hurt and my husband, an EMT, has to leave to help
But more for its beauty and for the times it doesn't allow me to get into work :)
