November 13th: I'm thankful for our house. We do not own it, we rent. Someday we hope to own a house somewhere, but we will see. I am just thankful we have a roof over our heads that we can call our "own," especially in Minnesota with winter coming up. I am also thankful that it's in a great location, close to our jobs and other amenities.

November 14th: I'm thankful for our neighbors. We really lucked out and have some great neighbors. They have great kids and love dogs as much as we do and are tolerable of our 4 pups. I also know that if we were ever in a pinch we could go to them with anything. This is my sisters and me with them at an event at the MOA.

What are you thankful for?

November 12th: I'm thankful for being an American.

Honor Our Military

Let’s honor our military,
The men and women who serve,
Whose dedication to our country
Does not falter, halt or swerve.

Let’s respect them for their courage;
They’re ready to do what’s right
To keep America safe,
So we can sleep better at night.

Let’s support and defend our soldiers,
Whose hardships are brutal and cruel,
Whose discipline we can’t imagine,
Who follow each order and rule.

Here’s to those who choose to be warriors
And their helpers good and true;
They’re fighting for American values;
They’re fighting for me and you.

By Joanna Fuchs

Thank you Veterans.

This was most appropriate for yesterday (Friday, 11/11 a/k/a Veteran's Day), but I had to dedicate the 11th to my Husband.

November 11th: I'm thankful for 5 years of wedded bliss. 5 years ago today I married my best friend and it has been quite the ride. We have survived: job changes (including a few times of unemployment), several moves (1 being out of state and back), family drama, growing our furry family from 2 dogs to 4, the unique birth of our little girl, and now the journey of parenthood. I couldn't imagine surviving this life with anyone else. Love you Babydoll!

Us on our wedding Day: 11/11/2006

Us now: 10/31/2011

I love our little family!

November 10th: I'm thankful for blogging, the blogs I follow and the great people I feel like I have come to know through the blogs. It is such a great outlet for me to not only write, but also read. As a new Mom, I love reading other mommy blogs. It is also a great way to memorialize different events in my life and also Hailey's life. I love looking back at past blogs and to see where we have come from and to know that many years down the road I can continue to do just that.

November 8th: I'm thankful for my in-laws. I am fortunate to have such a great Mother in law and extended family on my Husband's side. Right now Kim watches Hailey for us almost everyday while she is laid off and I am grateful to her for that. Hailey is a lucky little girl to not only have one grandma, but two that love her so much.

November 9th: I'm thankful for my girlfriends. I have a core group that I call my closest. I blog about them sometimes and a few of them have blogs as well. I'm thankful that many of them I have known for most of my life and now that we have grown older, gotten married and are starting families, we have continued our friendships through that. You know who you are! Love you all!
