I'm thankful for:
1. DH- he never ceases to amaze me! I'm a lucky woman to have him by my side! Also thankful for the continued growth we've experienced in our marriage this year! 2. C- so incredibly thankful to be blessed with our take home baby...a year ago I wondered if this dream/prayer was ever going to come true. God is good! 3. My mom and for God allowing her to survive her illness long enough to meet C! My mom is one of the most wonderful people I know and I'm so thankful to live close to her and have such a great relationship with her! 4. My family- they are the absolute best! I love seeing how excited they are for us and C! 5. My BFF and her DD...thankful for getting to spend so much quality time with them this past year and watching friend's DD achieve all her milestones! Thankful to be able to help my friend out through her most difficult season of life as well. 6. Our church and friendships we've made there! 7. Our neighbors- God has placed us in a wonderful neighborhood with great neighbors and friends! 8. This board- you ladies are spectacular...don't know what I would do without you guys! 9. Our health- no major issues this year! 10. My job, especially my boss and coworkers! My boss has been above and beyond amazing and supportive these past 2 years! As much as I'm looking forward to being a SAHM I will definitely miss my friends! 11. Our house...it's truly become our home this past year! It was a lot of work completing all the projects but definitely worth it now! Also thankful that it's nearly paid off and will likely be once I officially quit my job (after maternity leave).
@@ thankful that I saw a heartbeat today! Thankful for my mama coming for moral support and brunch after my appointment Thankful for my now over-protective husband
Derp, I didn't read very well. That's what I'm thankful for TODAY, haha.
Well, this baby, duh! My supportive husband My supportive family, friends, and coworkers My beautiful home Our puppies My awesome job that allows me to help people My husband's new job that he loves and has AWESOME health insurance My husband's side business doing well
I'm thankful for: 1. Having a successful pregnancy. We had our second loss at the beginning of the year and I'm so thankful to have everything working out for us this time. 2. Having such an amazing support system through everything. So thankful for my doctor, my counselor, and everyone of you ladies here. 3. Finally finishing on our house and getting to move in. This has been such a long process it is so nice to see the end. 4. My amazing husband. I knew I loved that man, but after everything we have been through with our losses and house stress I never imagined I could love him as much as I do. 5. Our families. They have been there for us every step of the way in anything we need help with. Even today my mom came over and scrubbed my washer and dryer for me. 6. Our health. I have had a pretty uneventful and easy pregnancy. DH has had a much better year health wise. I feel like we are getting control of his health issues and he is feeling much better overall.
And really hoping to add to this list the sale of our old house! Hopefully when we put it on the market it will sell very quickly. That would be wonderful!
1. A great job 2. A wonderful family, including H, parents, siblings and in-laws 3. My sweet puppies 4. My cute little fetus and the kicks I am starting to feel. 5. A good year overall!
1. My husband, who somehow loves me no matter what, even when I'm my most unlovable. 2. Our relationship, which has become stronger after a really stressful year. 3. My parents, who are always so supportive. 4. The fact that we found a decent apartment that already feels like home. 5. My new short commute 6. My dogs!! The furry loves of my life 7. The whole30... Even though I've fallen off the wagon lately, the fact that I was able to complete such a restrictive eating plan makes me feel like I do have it within myself to make some real changes.

1. My job. I'm so thankful that they restructured the entire area and I ended up on a great team. I really like my coworkers (most of which were from my old department), the hours are awesome, no weekends, and I like what I do. I'm busy all day and it's so nice to not be bored! I'm also thankful that although I probably make crap compared to most people, I've come a long way and it can only go up from here! Lastly, I'm so thankful for our benefits. The ML change I found out about earlier this week is still making me do a happy dance!
2. @- My pregnancy. I spent about half the year wondering if it was ever going to happen (I know, a little dramatic considering we weren't trying THAT long compared to a lot of you). Then when I least expected it, it happened! I'm so thankful to be able to experience this and that I have been very very lucky. Other than some spotting scares, things have gone so well. I just hope everything continues to go smoothly so we can meet our healthy son in Feb!
3. Our trip to Disney in Jan. I'm so happy we decided to go and (maybe flameful?) that we decided to skip a TTC cycle so I could fully enjoy it. I've been there a ton of times, but H had never been there, so it was awesome showing him everything. I think he loved it more than he expected to, haha. I had a blast and can't wait to go again! I think we want to do Disneyland/CA Adventures next time though since I haven't been there in over 10 years! Someday..
4. My parents. They are just amazing. They have done so much for me and this year really showed that. They are the reason we went on that trip in Jan, and they are already so excited about their first grandchild. I definitely don't show my appreciation enough and hope I can get better about that!
5. H of course. We've had some issues this year, but he really is great. We both have some things to improve upon, but he has done a lot for me. I hope that we can fully repair our relationship soon. We will be fine, we're just not in a place I want to be. I'm thankful though that I know he will stick it out with me instead of just giving up when things get tough!
6. You ladies! You have all been very supportive through my ups and downs and I'm thankful I have a place to go to vent, share happy news, or just chat about nothing in particular. I don't have a ton of friends near me, so it's nice to have a place to "hang out" when I feel alone!
- My H. He always works so hard and long hours and does so well in school and never ever complains to me about it. - My job. Even though it's been driving me nuts and I'm burned out im so thankful to have a stable job with great opportunities and finally made a super wonderful friend to hang out with. It's really a huge blessing. - My family. I honestly could not imagine my life without any of them. I'm so glad we are all so involved in each others lives! - Our health. I couldn't even imagine needing so much care at a hospital or at home how we afford it. - We are finally on a good track to save money and build our emergency fund which we haven't been able to do since we got married. Which has been stressing me out A LOT. - Our apartment, even though id love other amenities in it it's perfect for right now. Our landlord, receptionist and maintenance guy are all so wonderful. Truly blessed for such a great place with everything included to save money. - All of you wonderful ladies. I really do feel like I have so many more friends now! Ya'll are amazing! - H graduating in May of 2015. I'm so thankful he's almost done school even though it makes me so stressed out to think he has so much work to do before getting hired onto a fire department. Makes me happy that he will be one step closer!
- My daughter. I didn't think it was possible to love someone this much. I hear it all the time but now I really get. It was a rough road to get here, but I couldn't be more thankful to have had a relatively easy pregnancy and now to be a mommy to this smiling little girl is more than I could have hoped. - My husband. He's an amazing dad, so hands on. He also was fabulous taking care of me and doing everything after my csection. I wish I could have a million kids with him. He's so protective of us. - Our family. Our parents, brothers, and sisters are so enthralled with B. It's so nice to see their relationships building. - My friends. I have a good friend on ML right now as well and it's been so nice to have someone to share/vent to who completely gets it 100% of the time. Plus, we get to have lots of 'play dates.' - Everyone is healthy. - My dog is just a ball of love. - Our finances are in a really good place, despite me not working since June. - My job. It will be nice to be able to leave work at 3 every day and have lots of time off with the baby. This is NOT why I became a teacher but for the next year or two, I'm scaling back all my extracurriculars so I have more time with B.
- My husband who is incredibly supportive and basically treats me like a queen. - Healthy baby ewall and a very easy pregnancy. - My mom and brother seem to have come through their respective divorces relatively unscathed and are moving on to bigger, better things. - We've managed to stay on track with financial goals despite slightly less income this year. - We had another awesome cruise vacation. - My BFF found an awesome guy who treats her fabulously. She totally deserves it! - Growing relationships with my SILs. We are getting closer with each passing year. - My coworkers - they are hilarious, great mentors, and have been so generous and shared in our baby ewall excitement. - We are very fortunate to have so many wonderful people in our life who care about us! - The three C's: coffee, cheese, chocolate. - As always, I am thankful for wine and look forward to enjoying it in 2015

I'm late. It's not Thursday, but I'm certainly thankful.
Especially thankful for that boy I somehow tricked into marrying me. He is constantly bringing out the best version of myself. Thankful for our families. The health and happiness therein. Our careers, which at this point are thriving, fulfilling, and offer great opportunity for travel and development. Thankful for a house we love and friends we can count on. Also, so incredibly thankful I migrated over to this place and found you all. You keep me laughing and keep me sane on days I'm quite sure I'm being tested.

2014 has been a turbulent year for us but there are certainly things I'm thankful for:
1. DH finally getting the proper medical care he needed and finding his way back to good health 2. Moving - it was a long time in the making but so glad to finally be getting settled in 3. Being closer to family, especially my niece 4. Going on an amazing trip to Italy 5. Getting my teaching job and the fact that it is online made it possible for me to continue it even with all the travel and movement these last few months 6. Continued growth for TTH, especially getting 501c3 status
And the most important ones: 7. Renewed strength and happiness in our marriage 8. The support and love of our family and friends, including all of you here
