I am Thankful

Am I jumping on the "I'm thankful for..." bandwagon? Yes, ok. I am. But it's Thanksgiving and I'm no Scrooge. What? Wrong holiday? Oh. Forgive me. I'm thankful for that.

#1 - My hubs

This doesn't need explanation because, well, he's my hubs and I am obviously thankful for him if I married him. But I'm also thankful for his antics. Not just the ones that result in hand washing dishes, mowing the lawn, and taking out the trash. But the ones where he forgets how old he is when buying beer at HEB on a Saturday night and the judgy cashier lady looks up at Mr. Baby Face and asks, "How old are you?" and he responds "Uhhh (looks at me) twennntttyyy.... fiiive?" Yes dear. You are 25. Please sound more confident the next time your baby face is being carded, which by my calculations will be sometime tomorrow night. This clearly isn't even in the top 500 reasons why I love him, but it a) isn't gag-worthy because I'm saving that for wedding recaps. Get excited. and b) is my lame attempt at making up for the fact that I thought about blogging that story weeks ago, but didn't get around to it.

#2 - My parents

They truly are amazing people. I mean, my dad called me today and asked me to think about bread, naan, and tortillas. And my mom has already been hounding me for my Christmas list for 2 months AND has every meal planned for Christmas week. Good people, I tell you. But they also raised adorable little me and gave me and hubs the wedding of our dreams. For that, we are ever so grateful.

#3 - My friends

These are the people that make me laugh, encourage me, and embrace me for the cheesy person I am. They are also the ones that provided some really ridiculous candids from our wedding. Trust me, you'll be thankful for them too on wedding recap week.

I'm also thankful for the new blog friends that are becoming real life friends.

#4 - My paycheck

2009 was obviously a rough year for many. I am ever so grateful that Mr. H and I survived each of our companies' layoffs and still have jobs and the paychecks associated with them. I try to remember when work gets stressful that I am fortunate to have that kind of stress in my life rather than the stress associated with unemployment.

#5 - My DVR

Seriously. I don't watch TV anymore. I watch my DVR. How else can you have Brothers & Sisters, Desperate Housewives, Gossip Girl, SYTYCD, ANTM, the entire NBC Thursday night line up, Grey's Anatomy, Georgia football games that I forgot(?) about because I was having so much fun at JHJ party, Top Chef, and Project Runway all in one place? (see #1 for things I'm thankful for. How on earth has he let me hijack the DVR the way I have)

#6 - Whitney Lee Photography

For capturing all the beautiful moments seen here and on future posts. And for mailing my image DVD just in time for this post.
