here is what i am thanking God for right now:
1. my family: it's true what they say (i don't know who "they" are) - that as you grow older you realize how important family really is. through college it was easy to be swept away with my own agenda, but i am certainly thankful for their steadfast love through the ups and downs of my life!
(this is from a few years ago when my little bro graduates from HS - i'm the oldest! we all look quite a bit different now! time flies!)
2. my boyfriend: through thick and thin, bad moods and worse moods, he still loves me! gotta give that some credit! it has been over 3 years and he can still make me laugh, although he'll say that it is getting harder :)
(this is from this past fall in Manistee, MI on Lake Michigan where we stayed with his family for a weekend!)
3. best friends: (especially tons of friends getting engaged!) where would we be without our girls?
(jess on the right, then me and shan (newly engaged!) are all roommates in GR!)
(me and my best friend Kelly on her birthday this year! couldn't ask for a better friend!)
(me and Laur ran our first triathlon together this fall! what an experience!)
(allison, selma, me and taylor took a trip up to my favorite place this summer, Sleeping Bear Dunes in northern michigan. beautiful views i tell ya!)
i know these are the lame, cheesy already been done things to be thankful for. but seriously where would i be without them??
what are some things you are thankful for this year? i'll do a less serious list next! :)
DJ, I love that you continue to write! Just so you know, as I was cleaning out some old files, I came across a Riverview newsletter that featured YOU are the blogger of the week. Funny that I still had that. Sad that I didn't get that signed by the author while I still saw you at least once a year!
