Hi Lovelies!
Well, Monday was just as rainy as this weekend so unfortunately, I don’t have an outfit for you again today. <sad face> But, being that it is Thanksgiving week, I have a thankful list instead:) These are the things I am thankful for (in no particular order). We often take for granted the things in this world that we should be the most thankful for.
1. My husband– I know that everyone thinks they have the best husband in the entire world. Well, they are wrong….because I do:) He has hung in there since we were 16 years old and I couldn’t be more grateful that he has. He has taught me so much in the past 10 years and we have grown together in such a wonderful way. I honestly don’t know what I would do without him, he is always there for me to laugh with or to cry with. For him, I was always be thankful.
2. My parents– I have two of the best role models anyone could ever ask for. They have shaped me into the person I am today and always made sure I had a good head on my shoulders. They have been together for 30 years and have one of the greatest relationships I have ever seen. I hope that Wes and I can continue to learn from their love for years to come.
3. My sisters- My sisters are two of the most fun people I have ever met. Tonya, my oldest sister, has been like a second Mom to me. When my parents moved to Texas, Tonya and I lived a few miles apart in Michigan. She always made sure that I was included and like there was someone looking out for me when my parents couldn’t. Michelle, the middle sister, has always been my partner in crime. She has been right next to me my entire life and let me tell you, I would have been bored out of my mind without her.
4. My nieces and nephews- I don’t have any kiddos of my own yet, so it is nice to have some little guys to spoil. I may be biased but they are the cutest/most beautiful kids in this entire world. I am so lucky to have 5 nieces and nephews who love their Auntie Meg so much:)
5. My extended family– I have one of the most supportive and wonderful families that a girl could ask for. They are always willing to listen to my problems, and smack me upside the head when I’m in need of it. I know that they are always there for me and will love me no matter what happens in life.
6. My puppy, Sophie– I don’t care what anyone says, she is a part of my family. She loves me unconditionally and wants nothing in return. She is my first baby and people may think I am crazy, but I would do anything for her:)
7. My friends- After college is when you find out who your real friends are. There are those who decide that you aren’t worth their time, and to begin with that might hurt, but you will eventually see that they weren’t worth yours either. The ones who stick around, through the good times and bad, are the real friends. I am so lucky to have some really great REAL friends.
8. My job– I have such a great job. I love the company, I love the people, I love what I do. I am so thankful to be able to go to work in the mornings not dreading the next 8 hours.
9. My health– <Knock on wood> This one is a given. I am so glad that I am in good health. I have the ability to go work out and stay in shape. I have the ability to live my life without any physical pain and without worrying about doctors bills.
10. The Blogging World- I cannot begin to express how happy and thankful I am that I became a part of the blogging world. Until about a year ago, I had no idea it even existed, and today I don’t know what I would do without it. It’s so nice to have an outlet for all of the things rolling around in my brain…and having readers who actually care what I have to say is more amazing than you could ever know. Not to mention, the support I have been shown by some of the ladies in the blog community is amazing beyond words.
11. My education– I am so blessed that I was able to get such a good education. There are some people out there that are less fortunate and it shows.
12. Austin, TX- We have only been here 2 years and this city has already done so much for us. This city has given us some great opportunities and we have met some really great people. Not to mention, the weather is spectacular (except these past few days….brrr! Lol!)
Well, there’s my list! I have so much more than that to be thankful for in my life, but listing everything would take forever:) What are you thankful for?
Until tomorrow…

You precious girl! I have to say “ditto” to all of the above. Isn’t it funny how when it comes right down to it, most of the things that we are really thankful for are the things money can’t buy? Happy Holidays, Megan! Oh and P.S.–thank GOD for Texas! (Hehe)
The most precious things in life are things we can’t buy…and are usually the things we take for granted most often!
So much of your list is my list (especially the pup part). This year we have our first grandbaby, so that rates at the top!
I love my pup…she is just as much a part of our family as anyone else:) My Momma even gets her grandpuppy Christmas gifts:)
Oh I love thankful lists and yours is great! The picture you used for friends is absolutely gorgeous! I am thankful for SO many things and I’ll be sharing them on my blog on Thursday, but for now – I’m thankful for blogging. Blogging has changed me so much and the community is amazing as well as the friendships made!
I’ll be sure to check yours out when it goes up:) Blogging has definitely changed me over the past few months and FOR SURE in a good way:)
What a wonderful list!
Your family is beautiful!
I’m definitely thankful for my family – here in my home, and in the blogging world, too.
Thank you! The blog world really is something, eh?

I’m most thankful for my family this year, because when it comes down to it, family is all that we need. I have a great bond with mine and they all hold special place in my heart.
Me too! Family is the greatest!
Your list is great and the photos are as well. I’m with Taylor, thank God for Texas.
Thank you! Yes ma’am, Texas is amazing!
Your wedding pictures are gorgeous! You have a lot to be thankful for.
My husband and I have been together 19 years (married for 17) and I am so thankful for him, but forget to tell him sometimes.
Thank you! I always make it a point to tell him I love him each and every day:)
