Week 2 of thankfulness

Day 8. God's Mercy. I am so thankful we don't get what we deserve! God has blessed me with so much and continues to give to me even though I am so undeserving!

Day 9. Good friends. All through my life I have had people come in and out of my life. Some people you think will be in your life forever, but time and distance separate you. I have been so blessed with 3 amazing friends forever; Sarah, MacKenzie & Amber. No matter how long  it has been since we have seen each or talked we pick right up where we left on. I have such a bond with these three, With Mackenzie and Amber since birth and with Sarah since jr high. We have so many memories together! 

Day 10. For In-laws! Yes, in laws haha. My sibling have found the people that make them happy, And have made such beautiful children together. 
My husband's crazy family. They helped make him the wonderful man that he is. His parents are such fun grandparents to the kids. We always have a good time when we are together. His brother, Jason, has always been there for him and is his best friend. Andrew would do anything for him and visa versa. Andrew's little brother, Timothy. He is a such a sweet good guy. This summer we got to spend a week with him. It was so good to see Andrew & him hit it off. They had tons of fun together.
Andrew's meme and crazy Uncle, Ted. They practically raised Andrew. Meme taught Andrew how to treat a lady. Ted got Andrew interested in being a mechanic and the outdoors; both things are now HUGE parts of Andrew's life.

Day 11. My nieces and nephews! Andrew and I have 8 nieces; Oaklie, Megan, Alea,  Emma and Lydia (twins), Haylie, Amelia, & Addylynne. We  just have 3 nephews; Hunter, Austin and Barrett. We love having so many nieces and nephews and that our kids have some buddies to grow up with. They range in age from 8 weeks to 15.5 years old. 

Day 12. For my Pampered Chef business. Pampered Chef gives me such a sense of accomplishment. Through my business I have met so many people and made some great friends. I love the flexibility and fun that I have. The extra money has been great too. It has allowed the kids & I to be able to fly to Missouri several times a year to see family. Also, Andrew & I were able to treat both our parents with some great Alaskan Adventures this past summer. 

Day 13. For Andrew's job. I am so thankful that Andrew has such a great job. It isn't about the pay, but the company. The Fairbanks branch is so good to their employees. Andrew really enjoys going to work and the people he works with. With today's economy he is extremely fortunate to even have a job, but to have one he really enjoys is a huge blessing.

Day 14. For doctors & nurses! Lately we have spent lots of time at the doctors for Lexie's arm and now tonsillitis. We have received the best care and have had such amazing sweet doctors and nurses they have given Lexie such great care. They helped comfort her and make the whole experience easier for all us.
