THANKSGIVING

First, all of the things I give thanks for this year.

*My wonderful family~ I love my parents and all they have done and continue to do for me, and my entire family. I love my brother, Frankie, he continues to inspire and amaze me. I love Craig and Jill for everything they overcome and continue to strive for in life. I love my nephew, Nick, he is just the cutest, sweetest little boy-Ever! He has brought a new type of love to our little family, and I enjoy every moment I get to spend with him.

*Jon~ He is a wonderful man that in 3.5 years has brought so much to my life. He is wonderfully smart and has the biggest heart. He keeps me sane, when things seem too much to handle he keeps me grounded. I have no idea where life is going, but I am so happy that we will "go" there together.

*Mr. Big~ I love my puppy. He is so smart and so funny with the best attitude ever!

*My friends, my girl friends are ah-mazing. Leah keeps me company everyday after work and listens to all the 'fun' daily stories. Meredith is so smart and dedicated to law school, I envy her passion for her goals in life. I love knowing that no matter what time of day I have a great friend to call. Rachael is such a great girl, and FOREVER level headed and witty. She is there with so many answers, questions to ponder and in the end a good laugh. Julia, the new mom, full of good advice and a friendly shoulder to lean on. I love my girlfriends with all of my heart.

I am Thankful

for my family, friends, my Mr. Big, the roof over my head, my job, the people I work with, my health, happiness, coffee in the morning, books, running, great tv shows, comfy shoes, hot heels, fresh laundry, my nephew, my aunt's improving health, the strength of my family and friends, DVR, iTUnes, beautiful days, vacations... the list could go on and on.

1 whole YEAR old!

Oh-My-Goodness my precious nephew is one!!!!


I can't believe it has been a year, congrats Craig and Jill you have survived your first year of parenthood :) YAY.



The birthday party was last Saturday and sadly, I was not able to make it. But according to the photos from Jill and the recap from Grandma and Grandpa the first birthday party was a success.


I have a few photos, hopefully more after the Turkey Day celebration next week.

Your day of birth to your very first BIRTHDAY!

So cute, growing so fast into such a big boy!

Look how handsome he is becoming!









He is such a big boy holding his cup!




Such a cute outfit

Wow, 100 posts for me! That is just crazy. I have seen other bloggers do questions, but supposedly all of my readers know me, so no need for questions?

Where are my comments, btw? ;)

Lots going on lately with work, and I have photos of the Lock UP, the Holiday Potluck, and my boss' birthday. YAY!

So... I totally DIDN't MAKE 30 posts in 30 days

But that is okay, I would have hated to bore you all! So, instead we are back to regularly scheduled posting by Ashley, aka whenever something noteworthy happens. :)
