I am very thankful for many things this year. The roof over our heads, the food in our stomachs and the clothes on our backs. For a few months there, it was touch and go but like always, someway, somehow, we pulled through. I'm thankful for the window of opportunity that opened up for me and a chance to go back to school and better myself.

I'm thankful for Josh and how he supports me in all that I do..rather it is some off the wall idea or something sensible. He is there for me, no matter what! He has been the best thing to come into my life and I thank my lucky stars each and every day. I couldn't be happier.

I am thankful for my family and friends and especially my beautiful niece Brianna. She has brought such joy to my life...many smiles and tons of laughs. I have never loved another person like I love her.

Life could be better but life isn't bad and I have nothing to complain about.
