Giving Thanks

I'm thankful for my mother. Every single day I realize more and more how amazing she is. She does it all and does it well and still finds time to listen to me whine about my trivial problems and then reminds me of how trivial they are and how thankful I should be. She's awesome. I love her.

Isn't she presh!

I'm thankful for my dad's taste in music and that he made us listen to it all the time and learn to love the greats. As I'm typing this post, I'm listening to James Taylor, one of my dad's favs. It's such great music and so much better than the majority of the crap on the radio today. Yay Oldies!

His voice melts my heart.

I'm thankful for all of my sweet and wonderful friends from life. I categorize a "friend from life" as someone I've known for a very long time and can't just fit into on childhood, high school, church, college, etc. friend category because they are more than that. They've known you through all of your awkward phases. They've helped you through all of your ups and downs. They know where you've been and they are excited to see where you are going. I'm lucky enough to have several of these and they are all such beautiful, caring, funny, courageous, and sweet people. Don't know what I'd do without you ladies. Here are just a few of my favorite pictures from throughout the years. I wish I had some of the REALLY old pictures to scan in, but I'll save you all the embarrassment.

Auburn love! P.S. Codi, your hair is LONG!

This is what lack of sleep does to people...

HG4E. I love you guys!

Sweet Katherine! She's going to run the world someday.

I love Sofy so much that I braved the FREEZING cold for several hours for her! :)

Please ignore how gross I look. Otherwise, I really like this picture!

I'll be back later to continue my thankful love fest!
