Thanksgiving

I have a lot to be thankful for this year, despite it being one of the most difficult and trying years of my life. 

I am thankful for my health. Aside from my foot issues, I've been pretty healthy! I am pretty sure that it's because I haven't been at work, and that I've spent most of my time inside away from people. 

I am thankful for my family. We don't always get along, but with the passing of my grandma, I think we have gotten a lot closer. Everyone rearranged their schedules for every surgery I've had. I have also had the chance to see my extended family a lot this year. We are always a loud, nutty bunch when we get together. 

I am thankful for Aaron. He has to deal with me day in and day out. He drives me to all my doctor appointments. He takes me out when I'm going stir-crazy at home. He does his absolute best to keep me in good spirits. He's amazing, and I'm glad we get to spend every day together. I will love him forever. 

I am thankful for Bobbie, Toni, and Teri. We are on group text chat every day. I think we all keep each other from going bat-shit crazy. I'm a stay at home cripple, Bobbie is a stay at home mom to two (and sometimes four) kids, Toni is a student down in Arkansas, and Teri works all day. It honestly feels like we are just sitting around drinking coffee and chatting all day. It's even better when we can all be in the same place at the same time. 

I think that covers the important stuff. I hope you all have a very happy thanksgiving!
