As a young kid, and as a PE teacher, I am very fond of playing tag. Usually, I am fast enough to not get tagged at all, or I can tag back so quick that I'm never it. I guess that doesn't help in the "mom-space" world (that is what Tim calls the blog scene). So Marci, Chelsea, and Coartney tagged me, so I'm combining and doing 10 things I'm thankful for, and hopefully there will be 6 things you didn't know about me in there somewhere.

1. My Own Family - It's amazing how you have no idea how much you will love your own kid until you have one. I'm so thankful for Tim and Anderson. Tim and I are complete opposites, but I wouldn't have it any other way (hopefully he would agree). And it is so fun to see Anderson grow up and learn things. I love it!


2. Naps - I love taking naps, and I love when Anderson takes naps. They are few and far between, but also the greatest thing ever. I wish I could do it more often.

3. My Family - I love my family because they are so funny and fun to be with. It's the best to get together and tell funny stories and laugh. My sister's are so helpful and fun to hang out with now that we are all home. I am thankful for my brothers, and hope to make more memories with them both, here or somewhere very different :) I'm thankful for my in laws to and all of my extended family. They are the greatest.

4. MTV - I know, I know, what am I 13?? I am an MTV junkie, I'll admit it. It's really embarrasing when your high school freshman class that you teach is talking about last night's Flavor of Love episode and you can correct them on what really happend (I guess that's VHI but what is the difference right?) I can probably name every Real World season ever, and I secretly love the Hills and Laguna Beach (old school Laguna Beach). Thank goodness for DVR.

5. QT - My friends and I discovered QT years ago, and have been addicted ever since. We have literally driven 13 miles one way just to enjoy a vanilla diet dr. pepper. I'm embarrased to say, the QT cashier new my friend and I by first name (about 10 miles from where we lived) and ended up taking us to dinner at PF Changs one night. By the way, he paid for both of our dinners. Embarrasing right? 3 seconds diet dr. pepper, and 3 seconds vanilla is a deadly combination.

6. ASU - for a few reasons. First of all, we don't have to go there anymore. I graduated from there a few years ago. Tim is about to graduate in a month or so. Secondly, they are 8 and 1 this year in Football! Go Devils!!

7. Church - Obviously this has everything to do with everything we do. I am so thankful for it, and can't imagine being here with out it.

8. Friends - I have no pictures on this computer of my friends, but check my list. I love having friends that I have known since we were little kids. I love having friends who I lived my single days with. And the best part, is all of these people are still my friends now. It is so fun to share our families with each other, and to get together and laugh about funny stuff we used to do, and play games (Christmas party is coming up!). It's the best.

9. My own house and things - It's amazing how much you miss these two when you don't have them!! Hopefully soon we will be on our own again. My parents have been so nice to let us be here, but it will be nice to get our own place again.

10. Holidays - Thanksgiving is so close and Christmas is just around the corner. And we just had my favorite Halloween! What a great excuse to get together with family and friends and just spend time with each other. I love the traditions that come along with these too and can't wait to start my own.
