A Year of Thanks

2011 was a wonderful year, full of many good memories. My one regret is that I didn't stop to take the time very often to be thankful. Or it seems lately that I am thankful for the same few things all the time. Don't get me wrong. They are wonderful things for which to be thankful. I just would like to be more thankful for more things. So, in 2012, I will attempt to post something for which I am thankful every day. Realistically, I know that it won't happen every day due to time or other things which may arise (such as the birth of a baby!), but hopefully I can do it often. Also, I can't say that over the course of the year, that there won't be any repeats, but I'll give it my best to be thankful for new and different things.

Back to 2011, though. Here is a short list of things I am thankful for:

• Another year of marriage to my amazing Ryan (2 year anniversary)
• Feeling this wonderful gift of a baby growing and moving in my tummy (It's indescribable!)
• A patient, loving, saving God
• Trips to Colorado and Texas
• Random events - Scottish bagpipes, car show & burnout, demo derby, first rodeo, etc.
• Visit from Tara, Aaron, and Autumn
• Part time job (both that it's part time and I enjoy it)
• U2 concert
• Visits from mom and dad
• Ryan going back to XTO
• Time in the mountains - camping, hiking, hunting, river rafting
• Kenny Chesney concert with the sisters
• First rodeo
• Sporting events - hockey game, Broncos game, Rockies game, Rangers game
• Vegas with the sisters
• Ryan's promotion - he's worked hard for it
• Fun with nieces and nephews
• And finally, time with those I love, both family and friends

 Thankful for 2011 and excited for what is to come in 2012!
