So my friend always does top ten lists so I figured I would too. Since I did not do a thanksgiving list of what I am thankful for... I am going to do a thankful list on the day after American Thanksgiving. So my top ten things I am thankful for in no particular order...
1)God. I really do not understand how people get through life without God. Yes I have had and still have my doubts at times, but I know God is so real and so good.
2)Canadian Health Care. I hurt my foot last night (not thankful for that). However in an hour i was seen by 2 nurses, a doctor, did xrays, and saw another doctor. And besides having to pay for crutches I dont really (well besides in taxes later) pay for that.
3)Cory. Wow I dont even know what to say about this. I have now been with the man of my dreams for over 11 months. It has been very challenging at points but so so so rewarding. I love you Cory!
4)New Born Babies. Our Friends Mike and Julie had a baby on Monday and we got the joy of going to see her Monday night. What a feeling. The feeling of holding a brand new baby, the softness of her skin, the size of her little nails...aww.
5)Dogs. So Cory and I have found a dog. We have found a dog that we are getting rid of. Cory and I have found a new dog. That is our story. First dog was just way to crazy to be an inside dog. Good dog but to hyper. But I am so thankful for the companionship and the safety a dog provides. I look back to growing up and when everyone else had failed me...my dogs were always there for me.
6)A job I love. I LOOOOVVVEEE my job! My job is awesome and it really sucks when I can't be there. It is so rewarding when I see my clients make any sort of progress. There are so many days that I am having a horrible day or something bad has happened and one of my clients (who actually does not speak) will speak love and life into me, simply by her laughter. Work has also given me some amazing friends...
7)Friends. Wow we have been super blessed the last few months. For the first few months we really struggle with having friends up here in Steinbach. It felt lonely and often really depressing. However through my work, We got to know another couple who has been awesome. We love our city trips, Cranium adventures, and just sititng around having a couple drinks. It is great times. Also Cory has a friend from his previous job, Mike, that we have been really getting to know him and his wife. SOO MUCH FUN! They have helped us so much with moving and renovating. And now we get the honor of watching them become first time parents! We Love all of you guys!
8)A super awesome house. We have been blessed with an amazing house. The people I did respite for, decided to rent us there house tilll April. WOW. I love coming home and lighting a fire in the fire place, or knowing that we have 4 extra bedrooms....hint hinnt people come and visit us!!!
9)Music. Music has always been a huge part of my life. It has been the air I breathe and what keeps me going. The words people write, the words I write, are so inspiring and can just describe emotions in a way that nothing else could ever do.
10)Pain Killers. What more can I say..they are a good good thing!!
