I'm thankful for the new family I will be gaining in a few month. Not much I can say besides that; they are a sweet and wonderful family who have welcomed me with open arms simply because Dennis loves me. While I haven't gotten to spend that much time with them yet, I'm looking forward to all the years to come ...

30 Days of Thankfulness ... Day 14
Today and everyday I'm thankful for these two little sweeties who make me an auntie. Alani and Airi have enough personality to light up a room individually or together. I'm blessed and thankful to be an Aunt to two sweet little girls who always keep me smiling and laughing. There's no one else I'd rather be in a wagon with!
30 Days of Thankfulness ... Day 13
Today I'm thankful for being able to spend a weekend checking things off "the list" and also being able to take time to simply enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. And I'm extra thankful to have a supportive fiance who doesn't mind doing things with me because it's just as much his day as it is mine. We managed to get several big ticket items taken care of, enjoy a sunset, some new experiences, a few nice dinners and even managed to get some college football watching in there too ... Thankful for a weekend where everyone wins!
30 Days of Thankfulness ... Day 12
Today I'm thankful for the beauty of the Northern California coast; and I'm thankful that even in a busy life I can still take time out to sit and watch a beautiful sunset. The ocean is a place that calms me and brings a peace to me, and I'm thankful for times to just sit, be still and think about life.
30 Days of Thankfulness ... Day 11
Of course today I couldn't be thankful for anything besides the men and women who fight tirelessly to protect my freedom. Year after year throughout this country's history there have been men and women willing to make sacrifices for this country and we must always honor and remember them. My very own Airman has brought a whole new meaning to this day for me; not only because of his service but because of his respect and pride for his job and the others who choose to serve with him.

30 Days of Thankfulness ... Day 10
My Mother of Course!
She's bright, brilliant, beautiful, loving, warm and almost exactly like me (or I suppose I'm almost exactly like her). She raised me to be the woman I am today, my whit, sarcasm, mad cooking skills, goofiness and sense of adventure all come from this lady. She's a great example of a loving wife and a Godly mother. We always have a good time when we're together and we've grown our mother/daughter relationship into a beautiful friendship that I very much cherish.
Thank you mom for always pushing me and inspiring me to be the best I can be and to live my dreams for myself. Thank you for always encouraging me when times are tough but standing back and letting me figure out my life on my own.
30 Days of Thankfulness ... Day 9
Today I'm thankful for this guy ...
Can you tell who it is??? That's right; it's my step-dad Bill. He's a wonderful example of what a husband and father should be, and it was through him that I was brought to my faith. He's one of the smartest and funniest people I know and I'm so blessed to have had him in my life for the past 18 + years. I've shared a lot of special times with him through the years and I can't wait to have him walk me down the aisle and give me away at my wedding.
Thank you for being such a great and Godly example of what a man is supposed to be in this world, thank you for loving my mom, and thank you for all the love and laughter you've brought to my life.
