26 Things To Be Grateful For

So Friday at work as I was pondering my 26th birthday the following day I was thinking about how it seems so old.  I know it isn't but in context with what has happened in my life it seems old.  I have known Brant for 12 years, I have been out of high school for 8 years and married for 6 years.  I guess life flies when you are having fun.  While I was pondering my life and the last 26 years I realized I have so much to be grateful for. So this year I am starting a new tradition each year on my birthday I am going to write down things I am grateful for the same as I am old.  So here are my 26 things I am grateful for in my life.

1.  Brant - I have such a wonderful husband he is kind, gentle and so patient with me.  I love him with all my heart.
2.  Mom -  I consider my Mom one of my best friends.  I have really enjoyed spending time together.  We have had so many fun adventures sewing, Corn Wagon browsing, and the James Taylor concert.  I love you Mom.
3.  Dad - My Dad is probably the best Dad in world.  He has a way of making me feel so special, important and strong.
4.  Kyle - I have an amazing brother!  He is a great example to me and I have enjoyed living close to each other so he can visit from school.
5. Chelsea - What an fabulous person.  She is so sweet, fun and outgoing.  It is fun to be grown up sisters and I am looking forward to spending more time together as we get older.  :)
