My Thankful List!

I have really enjoyed reading everyone's lists of what they are thankful for over the last few days-now it's my turn...

I am thankful ...

1. That I have a husband who is my best friend, tidy roommate, and faithful man of prayer! (He is also manly enough to play "Pretty, Pretty Princess" with his nieces!)

2. That my immediate family is all within 20 minutes or less of each other. There is nothing like being able to meet for burgers at JCs every weekend.

3. That I have the best 2 sisters anyone could ever ask for-I love how we are getting closer and closer as we "grow up".

4. That I have 4 beautiful nieces-all healthy and happy-that I get to see whenever I want-and that each have a different name for me-MaMere (Abby), MeMe (Mallory), MerMer (Reid-although I really think she is saying a form of "mama" but I am going to take it anyways), and little Emily can't say anything yet but Chad and Allie call me "Aunt Meredith"

5. For a two wonderful dentist offices to work in each day-Today, one dentist hired the high school band to come play the UT fight songs b/c she is a longhorn and the other dentist is an Aggie! It was crazy trying to clean teeth with "The Eyes of Texas" being pounded out down the halls. When was the last time you had a pep rally during your cleaning?

6. For an incredible church family with an amazing small group that I know continually prays for one another.

7. Being able to have a relationship with God and the avenue of prayer.

8. Being 27 and having all 4 of my grandparents still living-my Daddy Bill is 92 years old, still walks 3 miles a day, and can eat a horse and still be as skinny as a string bean.

9. That my family has not had to endure any sort of tragedy yet-although I know when we do we will be strong enough to face it together.

10. For gift certificates for pedicures-Thanks Tiff-my toes were in need of some attention!

11. For the patience God has given me regarding having a baby-I know He will bless us in His time-and I am thankful that since we don't have kids yet we are able to love on our nieces and so many of our friends kids-I am thankful that He is preparing us daily and teaching us to rely on Him.
