Thankful

In honor of American Thanksgiving I have decided to write a short list of things I am thankful for. I can't wait until Erik and I get to spend a Thanksgiving with his family. Who knows when we'll be able to do that though. Back to things I am thankful for:

• My husband (aww). But really, I love him to pieces and am so thankful for him. He is wonderful and I love sharing my life with him. 
• My babies and their mommies. I am so lucky to have them. Mandi and Milena are absolutely delightful women and their babies bring me so much joy. So does the fact that they let me play with them whenever I want. 
• Snow. Even though I am not a fan of winter, there are still times that I love the snow. Like today as I walked home from work. It was dark and the snow was falling and everything was so still and so peaceful - quite the opposite of what life in a hospital is like. It was beautiful and refreshing to walk home in it. 
• Photos. I love looking at them and taking them.
• My family. Both of them. 
• The chance to go to Africa next semester. Can't wait!! (Vaccinations are next Thursday... I can wait for that. )
• Work - even though it's scary. 
• A reliable computer - even if I don't know how to use it. 
• A warm bed to snuggle into at night.
• A gym membership and a workout partner.
• My nursing girlfriends... I can't believe our time together is almost over!!! It makes me quite sad as we've been through a lot together and I've come to love them dearly. 
• My knitting needles. 
• My church, The Well. There's nothing like it. 
• Health - between the hospital and the homeless shelter it's amazing Erik and I aren't sick more often.
• A reliable car.
• Living within walking distance to work (both Erik and I).
• Christmas break in a couple weeks. 

This'll be my turkey next year. Whadda ya think??
