10 Things...

I was challenged at work today to make a list of ten things I'm thankful for....I have never thought of making one of these...so this should be interesting...

1. Having a Job: My job is pretty easy and laid back and sometimes fun. I know most people don't have a job, and I'm thankful that I have one that is flexible when needed, challenging and fun.
2. Having great friends: I would have to say that I have some amazing friends. They listen when I need to vent and are there through thick and thin. Yeah we may have had our arguments and fights, but all in all we will always be there for each other.
3. Wonderful Family: My family is pretty amazing. We always do stuff together and have fun little nights together. Mom & David especially. They are always inviting me and Ron over for dinner and to do fun stuff with. Some people don't have family like that, and Im glad that Ron & I have family to lean on when needed.
   
4. Being an Aunt: Kyle, Zoe, Kayla and Braylon are my world. I love to spoil them and have them over for sleepovers and take them to fun places and just to hear them laugh makes my day. Im fortunate to have such good nieces and nephews♥
5. Food and Shelter: with moving soon Ron and I have a pretty amazing apartment now, but in a week it will get even better. I'm thankful that I'm not out living on the street and not knowing when I was going to eat again.
6. Being a Little Sister: Growing up I always wanted a little sister to play with. Instead I was granted with an older brother and later in life 3 step brothers and a step sister. I really only talk with one of my step-siblings, which is Justin, and used to talk to Stephen until a lot of family drama happened (see next point...) but Austin I have remained close with through ups and downs in his life the same with Justin. I know they would both be there for me if anything ever went wrong.
   
7. Living Drama Free: I made a promise to myself a couple months ago that I was going to live my life for me, not to make anyone else happy. I was going to start standing up for myself and knock out all dramatized people out of my life. Did I hurt some peoples feelings? Yes, but after that I felt a lot better after it was all done and over with....
8. My Sister in Law: Alisha has become one of my best friends. We talk just about everyday about stupid girl stuff, kids, and boy problems. But she is always a good shoulder to lean on when I need support or just someone to vent to. I have been blessed with an amazing sister in law!
9. Being Healthy: aside from allergies, I am a pretty healthy woman. Im going to knock on wood and end there. :-)
10. My boyfriend: Without Ron I wouldn't have made all these changes in my life. I'm changing for the better and I'm enjoying it. I'm so ready to see what our future holds for us, start a family and grow old with each other. I can honestly say I have found my one true love and hes not ever getting away from me.

Hopefully sometime I can get Ron to write his out so I can type his responses on here as well.
