Top Ten

The Kinyon's Top Ten List of Things We are Thankful for this Year:

1. Three years of marriage

-Yesterday was our three year wedding anniversary. We obviously are parents now...we talked about Lanie way too much, went Christmas shopping, then had a super sushi dinner at Mt. Fuji and were home by 7:30.

2. Our beautiful daughter, Lanie

-She makes us smile everyday. I just love all the new things she is doing. I can't imagine life without her. I can't wait to have another.

3. Our family

-We are lucky to have Abby here visiting from MN. We are also going to be an aunt and uncle again. Courtney's and Cale's due date is July 14. Lanie and her new cousin will be exactly a year apart. It is really nice to have all of our parents within a 20 mile radius.

4. Our friends

-We have some SUPER FANTABULOUS FRIENDS!! We are really thankful for all the great laughs and good times! We have truly made such amazing friends along the way. Yesterday, I was reminded. Elizabeth and I hung out and made some cards for her birthday (only two months late, oops) and shared tons of laughs.

5. Our jobs

-We all complain some days but in these tough economic times we are truly grateful to have steady jobs that really aren't that bad and they pay the bills.

6. Vacation days

-This is our time to sleep in...yet I don't because Lanie gets up and I can't wait to see her smiling face in the morning. I really treasure our time together on my days off from school. This summer is going to be so much fun!

7. Our health

8. Memories

9. Happiness

10. The not so important stuff in the long run of life

-For instance, having the Internet, closets full of clothes, cars we drive, all of Lanie's baby equipment, and basically all the "stuff" that fills the house. In the end, we will not remember all this "stuff", we will remember numbers 1-9 but I am still thankful that we have it.

Happy Thanksgiving!
