So today I am thankful for strong pain medicines...because this shoulder surgery stuff is not fun not fun at all!!!!

Lots to be Thankful for...

Thankful for lots of fun family memories....

roof over our heads....

Well I missed a day yesterday so this post is gonna have two things I am thankful for in it. The first thing I am thankful for is my church family. I have been blessed to be at the same church since I was a teenager. While awhile at college I found a church home there but it was never the same. When Warren and I moved back to Columbia we knew right away where we would be going to church. It is truly a blessing to have such wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ to worship with. Today was give away day and while I type this my eyes are wanting to close, I am exhausted. We saw right around 550 people today. It is such a reminder at how blessed we truly are. So tonight I am thankful for my home. Small as it may be and not decorated with the finest things, and there are things that need to be fixed, it is a home. It is full of love, laughter, tears, joy,and fun. It keeps us cool in the hot southern summers, warm in the winter, and dry from the rain. I am thankful for the roof over our heads that we had made our home.

Pre-K is the place to be...

Today I am thankful for my job... I have the best job in all the world..I work two days a week and I am on the same school schedule as my children...we we get all breaks and holidays off together. I am extremely thankful for my job... There are days that I miss my salon and really miss all things hair but for the most part I have the best of both worlds, that makes it all worth it. I mean who else get to play, be silly with, make fun crafts, and cuddle with some of the greatest kids in the world and still get paid for it?? Let me tell you pre-K is the place to be....

Friendship...

Today I am very thankful for my friends...some of which are very much like family so I guess in away this is still a "thankful for family" post...

Through out the years I have had many friends, and over the years my definition of friends have changed quite a bit.

I have friends young and old. I have some friends that are "our" friends meaning couple friends that Warren and I both get along with, go on family dates with, family vacays with, and enjoy spending time with. I have my fun loving group of girls that I go on a summer beach trip with each year that you can read about in my old post called Friends...I think it is in the July 2008 post, then the post right after that has pics of those I talk about in that post(if you have a min take a look at it, it sums up how much I love those girls) . I have friends that I have had since childhood. I have friends that have become friends because we have kids the same age and are going through the same challenges and facing the same struggles. I am a people person, I love to talk to, hang out with, be silly with and overall just like being with people...I have a lot of friends and everyone of them are different in so many ways as is our relationships...I love my friends and are very Thankful for each and everyone of them!!!

So I have been looking through my photos today trying to find some good ones for this post...and it is sad...I have some great pictures don't get me wrong but it is sad because they are all from last fall,winter, and spring...since our camera was stolen a few wks ago along with everything in my purse..(trust me it was quite the ordeal) we have nothing from this summer..no family vacay pics, no first vball camp pics, nothing of us being silly and having fun in the pool...nothing nada..oh well what are you going to do??? "Thankful for my family" Today I am thankful for all my sisters and brothers...mine and Warren's! We may not always see eye to eye but in the end we love and laugh .....do not know where I would be without them!!! I Love all of them... Andrea & Jamie, Krysi, Jesi, Matthew, Christopher & Marsha, Stephanie & Shawn....

Warren and I have a huge family...I am the oldest of 5 and Warren is the baby of 3!

Today i am "thankful for my family"..this post is about my in-laws.

They too were high school sweethearts, they were great parents to Warren. They taught him how to be loving, kind, and a wonderful husband and father. They are great Grandparents to our children (aka nanny and D),they come to almost all of the kiddos games and special programs. They have a strong faith and have passed that on to their children. They have led by example when it comes to putting family first.

Today I am thankful for my in-laws....without them I wouldn't have the hubby I have today!

ps...I have no pictures of my father in law bc he is always taking them...so this is the best I got right now.....just another reason I am thankful for him...he is a great photographer and keeps us all up to date with great photo memories!!!
