Living the Dream

Pasted from my FB:

My favorite holiday is one day away :) I usually write this post on Thanksgiving Eve, but I work tomorrow and may not be home at night so I decided to type it up now. Every year I like to reflect on how extremely blessed I am in life. I try and remember every day regardless, but on Thanksgiving it seems even more special to me.

I'm so thankful for God, Jesus, and my Catholic faith. I'm so lucky to have been raised in a family in which religion was always taught. I look back on my childhood years and feel so grateful for having been taken to church every Sunday and to have gone to a Catholic school for 12 years. I feel like my relationiship with God has grown so much, and I am so thankful for that.

I love my parents so much. I'm so grateful that they have been there for me since day one, and they have never ever let me down. I'm not saying we didn't have our rough patches, but that's to be expected when you are growing up, and now they are everything to me. There is nothing I feel like I couldn't go to them with or depend on them for. They are such a huge part of my life, and I don't know what I'd do without them.

I just celebrated my first wedding anniversary with the best husband in the whole wide world. I'm so thankful for him everyday, and that he was brought into my life. He is so wonderful to me and he is such a strong, hard working person. He's my other half and I could not have found anyone better to spend the rest of my life with.

I'm so grateful to still have my Nana and Papa to celebrate this Thanksgiving with. I love them SO MUCH, and I'm so blessed to have had them in my life for this long, and I hope this continues for many many more years! I'm so happy that my Papa has felt and been better recently, and that God was watching over him through all of his hard times this year. I will cherish every second I spend with them

I miss my best friends, Bianca and Tracy, so much!! I get so sad missing them sometimes but I'm truly grateful that they are in my life even if they are far away. They bring so much joy and happiness into my life, I could never thank them enough. I cannot wait to be with them again this summer, they are so special to me!! They are honestly the kind of friends that are always just THERE unquestionably no matter what, and I can't explain how much that means to me!

To the other special angels in my life .. I'm so grateful you are a part of me and my life. You mean SO much to me.

I am also thankful to live in this country, to have a job, to be going to school, and for the rest of my amazing family, especially my brother and sister. Everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
