Let's Be Thankful

One thing I really wanted to do this Thanksgiving was sit down and say all the things I was thankful for this year. Just as I was about to though, Andrew started shoveling food into his mouth, so I reluctantly kept quiet. Thankfully, I have a blog and I can share all the things I'm thankful for here!

When I reflect on this past year, this is what I'm most thankful for (in no particular order):

Pretending to be Hard at work

My job

I've been employed by some amazing people for the past two years. Although there are days I wish my job were a lot more challenging, I'm extremely thankful to be employed. Specifically in a position where they'd probably be fine without me.

Bad shot of it, but I love my little living room

My new apartment

Now that we're fully moved in, I don't miss my old, tiny apartment one little bit. It's so nice to have a bedroom and I'm thankful to have a little extra space in a really great neighbourhood.

September Ipsy and the review I still haven't had a chance to write

Ipsy

It sounds silly but I'm thankful that I can afford to get Ipsy in the mail every month (and that it ships to Canada!). It's so fun getting makeup in the mail! I'm also thankful that I have more makeup than I need (let alone use).

One of the many food items I tried this year: a Krispy Kreme burger

Food

If you've followed me for a while, you know I love food. You also know that I love dining at restaurants and bars. I'm very thankful I can do that. I'm also very thankful that when I want to stay home to eat, I can. My fridge and panty are always full. Maybe not with healthy food but it's food!

Blogging

It has almost been a year since I started blogging. It's been such an amazing experience and I've "met" some really amazing women. I'm thankful to have "met" you all and I'm thankful that you read about my little life!

One of my favourite pictures from our trip to Vancouver

Vancouver (and other flights)

I'm so thankful that I got to visit Vancouver this year. This has been on my Bucket List for a while. I'm even more thankful that when we visited Vancouver, we had perfect weather! I'm also thankful for all the other trips Andrew and I have gone one this year and that he's been able to fly us to many of them!

My health

Other than a couple little colds, I've been extremely lucky and made it another year without getting really sick (and without throwing up)! I'm quite thankful for that!

Kiss me!

Misty

Because how could I not be thankful for her?

One. My little brother and his "girlfriend." Check out the boy trying to cock block!
Two. Cotton candy with some dear friends!

My friends and family

This is to be expected, of course. Nonetheless, I'm thankful to have a father that isn't overbearing, a step-mom that I finally get along with, a little brother who still says "I love you" as well as patient, supportive and amazing friends.

One. How we normally look.
Two. Pretending to be "normal."

Andrew

Yes, he gets his own category. I'm thankful to have spent another year with this guy who drives me absolutely crazy sometimes but I love more than anything else.

There's lots of other things I'm thankful for but this sums it up nicely.

What are you thankful for this year?
