It's been awhile...

Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving 2011....another holiday in the desert. 30 days until Christmas and I'm sitting here in a t-shirt as I write this. Some people may love that - I find it....not holiday spirit-ish?
Seems to me that all I do is on here is complain. But it's a place for me to get my feelings out right?

I'm not all negative. I am very thankful for everything in my life. The new friends that I've made, my loving husband, my family and my friends far away. I don't know what I would do w/o them. Especially my new friends here in mini Mexico. We take care of each other - and I feel as though I can finally say that if God forbid anything happened to me, that I would get taken care of.
I'm so thankful for our marriage. I hear so many people getting divorced at our age, and it makes me so sad to think that some of my close friends are going through that. So for that, I am thankful for Cody.
Sometimes it's weird to think that we were once in elementary school together in the days of cooties. And now we're married and share a bed. But without him - I would not get to challenge myself everyday in a new place, or go to places, or meet new people. Everything happens for a reason and I want to truly believe that this is my challenge in life. To be a military spouse. Never easy, but very rewarding.

So 2012...I will try to be more positive. Make our home where our heart is. Be more productive. And be grateful for everything / everyone in my life.
