So this being the day before Thanksgiving and tomorrow R and I will sit around our little bistro table and be thankful we made it thought this year without to much maiming or bloodshed, I wanted you all to know the things that I am thankful for this year.
One
My wonderful, loving, caring, patient and infuriating Husband. He is a great man and I am so lucky he picked me. He helps me everyday be a better me.
Two
That my wedding was perfect. This is due to the numerous family members that made themselves available to my every possible whim. Thanks to Mom, Dad, MS, Brother, KF, KE, SW, JF, GE, MJ, and all who attended. It was a great time, I just wish it didn't go by in a flash.
Three
My parents. You guys truly are the greatest parents. Now Mom, I know you are going to be all Debbie Downer saying you did this wrong or that wrong. But it doesn't matter, if you look at the whole shebang you did a wonderful job and are great to this day. Brother and I a lucky to have you for parents. There isn't anything you guys wouldn't do for us and because of that we've lived our lives knowing our safety blanket is pretty nice. So thank you for being there then, and continuing to be there now, not only for J and I but now also R and M. Its great to know they like you as much as we do, and they aren't required too, they choose to love you.
Four
My great work colleagues. I have a great boss and great peers. Coming to work everyday is an adventure because you guys make it easy to pass the day. You all are so easy to work with. Thanks for making bad days bearable and good days great.
Five
My dear friends. Some of you are here and others of you are far away, but you are the family I choose and are fantastic choices. AF... all the way up there in CNY, thank you for bearing the plane trip and coming to see me on my big day. I know it will be a very, very big thing for you to get on another plane for me but to see you again, in a better city and with a great guy, was just icing on the cake of one of the best days of my life. KF oh how I wish you guys were here. I know we've planted the seeds of interest in your husband.. now we have to be good gardeners and tend to that and nurture that interest into full blown willingness to take a chance on the PNW. Your help at the wedding made it what it was, perfection. Thank you for putting yourself almost two weeks behind at work just to enjoy the day. KE you bring all kinds of comic relief to every situation you enter. You make me smile and help remind me everyday to just take a minute and remember there is some funny ass crap in this world. So just move here so this can continue and "an martini" nights may resume. TG thanks for opening your world here in town to me. You've helped me extend the roots just a little bit more and make this town feel more like a home than just a place to live. You are so understanding and a great sounding board. Thanks for all the venting and Slurpee runs this year. DM you are the only guy in this category, feel special, or feel upset, whatever. Thank you for everything over these last almost six years. I can't believe it's been as long as it has, but time flies by when we spend 90 percent of the time making fun of each other. Thanks for keeping me humble and reminding me to laugh at the absurdities of myself sometimes. NJ is a great woman, you guys are great together, I can't wait to make fun of you for the rest our friendship and have her back me up. She's a great girl. To all the other friends I didn't call out specifically, each of you gives me something each day that I cherish. Thanks for being my friend even though it can be a pain in the butt sometimes.
Lastly,
Thanks for the year and here's to a new one.
CHEERS!
