Tagged!

My cousin tagged me and I am so excited! :) The idea is to write 7 things you are thankful for and then tag someone else. So....here goes (in no particular order):

1. I am thankful for a husband who loves me. No matter what. I am so glad that he chose me, sometimes I still wonder how I tricked him into that.
2. I am thankful for an education. I complain about it because it is so much easier sometimes but I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and to grow. I'm thankful to be studying something that I love and I'm glad to be at a school where I can express my love for God so freely.
3. I am thankful for health for me and my loved ones. I am blessed to have a functioning body and to have all 10 fingers and toes. I'm glad to have a sound mind and to wake up each morning.
4. I am thankful for an apartment and for food to eat. It is true, our apartment is small and nothing to look at, pipes are on the ceiling and it is a tight squeeze, but it keeps us warm and dry in the winter. We don't have much extra money for food, but we have enough to eat and to fill our tummys.
5. I am thankful that Brent and I have jobs when so many people don't. Brent loves working at Staples and he is so good at what he does. I am thankful for that. I am not a huge fan of Staples, but I'm grateful for a job. I'm grateful for the ability we have to work.
6. I am thankful for family. I was born into the most amazing family who taught me right from wrong. I love them dearly. I am thankful for Brent's family and for how amazing they are. I married into a great family and I am so blessed.
7. I am thankful for light. It seems a little silly, but even at 20 I am afraid of the dark. I am grateful for the sun and for electricity to light our apartment. I am also thankful for the dark though, because I love to sleep!

I tag momma gato. HOORAY!
