One Lucky Lady, One Lucky Pup…

Current mood: grateful

… and soon to be- one lucky baby girl!

I am thankful for the love of my life- Doug; he is my everything. I don't know where I would be without him. He is a wonderful husband and he is sure to be a great daddy!

I am thankful for our home. It may not be huge, it may not be in the best area, but it is ours. Doug has worked hard and is working hard to make this the best possible home for our growing family. I am thankful we are able to remodel our home.

I am thankful for our family. Can't live with them, can't live without them. They are a great group of people. It keeps growing and growing. There is never a dull moment.

I am thankful for my mom; to have been raised by such a strong woman. I wouldn't be the person that I am today without having had her in my life.

I am thankful to have been able to conceive a child. It was definitely a long, hard road to get here; I will never take for granted that we have a baby girl joining us in a few short months.

I am thankful for Cody. I would be lost without him. He is the best pet ever, he's amazing.

I am thankful for our friends. We have great friends, one of them I would do anything for and I'm sure she'd do the same. I am thankful to be back in touch with so many high school friends.

I am thankful for having such an ambitious husband that will do whatever it takes to provide for our family. He works so hard so that I don't have to. He considers us conceiving a child to be a miracle and doesn't want me to work away from home. I truly appreciate everything he does for us.

I am thankful for today, particularly, to have our central air. I would be so miserable without it.

I am thankful that my husband works so hard to provide us with not only one dependable vehicle, but two. I had never before had such a nice vehicle. I am really thankful for our transportation.

I am thankful for our computers and our Internet. I wouldn't be able to communicate with all my wonderful friends and family so easily without it.

I am thankful for our cable. I especially love my Grey's Anatomy and ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Rescue Me.

I am thankful for our cell phones- they are truly a lifeline.

I am thankful to have food in our cupboards.

I am thankful for our excellent medical insurance. If it weren't for it Doug and I would literally never be able to afford to have a child. A couple years ago it paid for my fertility testing and recently has paid for the medications that have kept Addison and I alive and thriving. One medication is a thousand dollars a month, then on top of that- two insulin's and five pills.

I am thankful for our comfort; the ability to purchase new furniture recently.

I am thankful for sleep, thanks to our memory foam mattress. After our trip to New York and the sleepless nights because of the hard bed- I am very happy to have what we have.

I am thankful for our ability to vacation. Life wouldn't be the same without a little get away every now and then.

I am thankful for our new camera. To be able to capture memories in photographs is literally priceless to me. I am thankful that my husband works so hard to be able to provide us with a great camera.

I am thankful to have time and to be able to afford materials to be able to combine my creativity and those photographs into scrapbooks. I can't wait for Addison to grow old enough to cherish the albums; that's what they are for- future generations.

I am thankful to have had the education that I have. Graduating high school and attending college were very important to me.

I am thankful to have my sight.

I am thankful to have my hearing.

I am thankful to have my mobility.

I am thankful to have my health.

I am thankful to have my life… to share my life and the ability to make life.
