With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I thought I should reflect a little on the year. I'm so thankful for my little girl. She is the most precious little person, and watching her figure out the world is amazing. She is also fearless-- The dogs are not too happy with her new ability to roll into them, pull their hair, and grab their ears. I also have the most amazing parents. They have supported me through some really hard things, and I know they are always there for me. I would be lost without them. My brothers are amazing. Bryant is such a wonderful father and husband. His ability to entertain and care for his family and friends is remarkable. Jared is so kind and humble. I'm pretty sure he is the smartest person I've ever met, and he continues to amaze me. From what I can tell, he's a pretty good boyfriend, too. I'm so excited that Monica is a part of his life, and I can't wait to spend more time with them both. My sister in law, Kristin, is so determined. She has done so well with handling work, motherhood, Bryant... I love that every year we grow closer together. I'm so thankful for my little MK. She is the cutest little girl, and I love her. I can't wait to see Holland and McKenna grow up together. My brother in law, Matt, continues to strive for his goals. I count him among one of my closest friends. My best friend, Deborah, is the most genuine person I have ever met. She cares so much for so many, and I am SOOO lucky to have her in my life. I'm thankful for my four-legged children. They all have such different personalities, and I love them for their unconditional love. Nothing beats coming home to waging tails... I'm thankful for my own growth this year. I feel stronger, physically and mentally, than I have ever, I think. It has been a rough year, but a great year, too. I can't wait to see what the next year brings for my family and me. I'm one lucky girl. :)
