Thankful

It's pretty obvious what I'm most thankful for this year, right?

My adorable, hilarious, curious, growing, healthy baby son.

But there are many other things too. I'm thankful that Des slept until 6am this morning. Sleep. I'm very, very thankful for sleep.

This guy. The raddest person on earth. And I get to share a bed with him. Visual!

I'm thankful that Jaclyn comes home in less than a month for Christmas. And that she is realizing her dream of living where it's warm and there's a beach outside her window, and I'm thankful that she is coming home for good next year.

I'm thankful that Janet married Nick and that they live less than a mile away from us. And they will never ever leave me!

My mom and my sisters. They are so much a part of who I am, they are like my limbs. See this leg? It's Maureen. The other one is Deanna. Janet is like both of my arms. My mom is my head, because it seems that in everything I do (especially lately) I think, 'What would my mom do?'

Our amazing families.

Things, jobs, homes, money, vacations. They're nice. But they come and go. It all means nothing without the people you love.

Sorry to go all sappy on you like that. It's the holiday spirit. Talk to me mid-January and I'll be back to cynical and sarcastic.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
