Happy Thanksgiving!

Today was spent with family. 

Marqui and I went to my families first. My grandparents, aunts and cousins were there. It was nice as always :) dinner was great. On our way home we stopped at Marqui's cousins house and saw his family and his mom and sisters. Got more food! It was really really nice to spend thanksgiving together and with both of our families! 9 years and I'm pretty sure that's a first!

All my posts are usually pretty depressing. Not today. 

Today was great. I felt great too. 

And despite all the trouble this year has caused I am extremely thankful. 

I am thankful for my mom. She has been there for me my whole life and especially now. All my dr visits, days I need to cry and talk. Everything. We don't always get along but I would be lost without her. 

I am thankful for Marqui. He has been by my side for 9 years through good and bad. He has been amazing this past year and recently even more supportive and helpful then I could ever imagine. He  loves me so much and I couldn't ask for better! 

I am thankful for my dad and stepmom. They have done so much to help me over the years and this year even more so. Even tough I don't see my dad everyday, he is there when I need through text or call and is there for my big surgeries and dr appointments. 

I am thankful for the rest of my family. Their continued support and love and prayers are always appreciated and amazing. They are always there for me and I couldn't ask for anything more. 

I am thankful for my job. I love the boys I take care of. They are fun and a challenge and so good and smart and funny. They make my hardest days better. They make me happy. I would do anything for them. Their parents are amazing as my employer. They have been so helpful and understanding the past year. 

I am thankful for my health. Despite everything it could still always be worse. 

I am thankful for my best- Jamila. She has taught me so much this past year and helped me grow and change as a person. I have come to know myself better because of her. She is always there when I need. 

I am thankful for so much.  I truly am lucky. I know I will continue to have more to be thankful for. I can't wait to see what the future brings. I hope for the best and hope I can reach some of my goals. Which I can add to my list of things to be greatful for. 

Until next year.... 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
