30 Days of Thanks - Day 11

I'm thankful for the country that we live in and those who serve to protect it - and most of all, my dad, who served in the Marine Corps for 20 years. His dedication, discipline, hard work, and "semper gumby" attitude are just a few of the many things that make him awesome. ILYBL Dad! Happy Veteran's Day!

30 Days of Thanks - Day 10

I'm thankful to have Jaime close by again! I can't tell you how amazing it's been to have her close! Aside from being my BFF, she's been such a huge help already! In the last few months since she's been here:

•  I called her at the last minute because I was getting interviewed by the news for SDP and I was SUPER nervous. She spent the day shopping with me to find a new outfit and then came over the day of the taping to be here for moral support. 
• I'd had a stressful week and needed to get out of the house for a while and she dropped what she was doing and met me for sushi and venting.
• When we needed help with babysitting for Maria's wedding, Jaime and Aaron came over for an all day/night marathon babysitting extravaganza. They even put up with all my crazy notes AND brought the boys up the church for pictures.
• I'm so proud of losing 5 lbs and actually have a little money saved for shopping, I made plans with Jaime and we get to spend the evening shopping together tonight. 

There is nothing better than having a sister! I'm so thankful to have such an awesome one and for all she does for me!

I'm thankful for the amazing opportunity to be able to pursue my dreams. Clayton has been so supportive and encouraging. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to be able to earn a living doing what I love AND with something that allows me to be at home with our boys.
