Today I am thankful for:
1.) My Dad. Through the years, my Dad has been my biggest cheerleader. He's been my sounding force and my guiding light. He speaks the truth to me when he has reservations, which make me think honestly about the decision I'm about to make. He gave up countless hours to support me in sports, FFA & 4-H (although, secretly, I know he loved 4-H just as much as I did!). When I got married, we danced to "It was your song" by Garth Brooks. I couldn't think of a more appropriate song to dance with my biggest fan!
It was your song that made me sing
It was your voice that gave me wings
And it was your light that shined
Guiding my heart to find
This place where I belong
It was your song
I love you, Dad.
2.) My Mom. Funny, growing up I got sick of everyone telling me how much I looked and acted just like my mother. Now, as a mom myself, there is no greater compliment. She's gone from being my guide to my girlfriend, my cheerleader to my sounding board. She has an amazing heart for others and I love her truthfulness and tact ;) I love watching her with my kids and hope that someday, I'm just as amazing of a grandma as she is. I love that she sacrifices her own wants/needs to make her family happy and I hope that one day, my children say the same of me. I love that now, we can go out and party on the town like college girlfriends, and then complain about our husbands! :) Mom, I'm lucky to have you, and I love you more than you'll ever know.
3.) My circle of girlfriends. I've been blessed to have the most amazing best friend for all 29 of my years, but I'll create my own entry of thankfulness for especially her, on a day all her own. Today, I want to say thank you to my circle of girlfriends. You know who you are. We email throughout the day, we lift each other up with praise and we pray for one another. You make me laugh. You've made me cry (of course never in a bad way, usually from laughter at one of our husbands dumbass moments). You've shared my love of Moe's and sweet tea! :) (My hips are eternally grateful for your friendship..............). Thank you for sticking by me, listening to me rant & rave, and allowing me to be there for you too. I truly believe God puts a group of people together for a reason. I'm glad God gave me you three! ;)
