Giving Thanks

I have to take a moment to say just how thankful I am....at least as far as words can descibe. I think its too easy to have a bad day at work and forget just how lucky I am to have so many wonderful people in my life.
First of all, my husband. Kelly is my greatest blessing. He's wise and mature beyond his years but is never too serious not to enjoy my weird jokes or make me laugh when I need it most. I'm so proud of him for who he is, the responsibility he has, and the decisions he makes. I will willingly endure anything this life throws at me to be with Kelly forever.
My Dad. Aside from being the best true friend I had growing up he taught me everything I know about being an adult and the responsibilities of life. He taught me to make logical and thought out decisions and to accept the consequences of those actions without excuses or passing the buck. All of this I learned from his example and the things he does because its what's right, not what other people will see or think. He has edured the impossible and I am so proud of him for never losing himself.
My In-Laws....I honestly can't say enough good things about them. I know that they aren't just my family because I'm married to Kelly. We're family because I love them unconditionally and I know they would do absolutely anything for me no questions asked. Peggy is an amazing woman, I admire her for her amazing patience, always being a genuinly good person and for the things she says with her silence. She has become a very special friend to me. Scott is so full of good advice that I always come away with a greater perspective on things and is such an honest person. I always know that the Scott I see is the one I get. And whether he knows it or not has inspired me spiritually on many occations.And where would I be without Steph? I am so happy to have a friend and sister that is so much fun. She keeps my days sunny, listens to my ranting, knows too much about me, and is always good to talk to. She's made me feel so comfortable as a Muir and we have a friendship that is only going to get stronger as the years go by.
And My Aunts Suzanne and MEllen. I owe them more thanks than I can give to these two. Always loving and helping me unconditionally. Treating me like I was their own daughter and loving me through the good and the bad. I don't even know where to begin how wonderful they both are, always doing what's right and capable of anything, these are the two strongest women, physically, spiritually, and Mentally, that I have ever known.
I could go on for days of all the people who have blessed my life but I am thankful to each and every person who has made me who I am, helped me become stronger, and been there for me when I've needed them. You are the ones who help make my life the wonderful adventure that it is.

My days would be filled with a lot less sunshine without you too. Give that brother of mine a kiss for me and tell him he did good!
