Thankful 2007
Thankful 2006
Thankful 2005
Thankful 2004

I am thankful for a lot of things this year.

I love my husband and my mom and dad a whole lot.

I graduated from nursing school!

I passed the NCLEX!

I got a job at a terrific hospital, and it turned out that I love it.

And I also seriously love my coworkers!

R* and I are in a financially sound place even as the whole world's economy goes down the crapper.

Time for having a baby is any time now. (No, I don't have an announcement at this time.)

None of my loved ones have any of the horrible problems that I see at work: head injuries, diabetes, addiction problems, colostomies...

In just a few more weeks, Barack Obama will be our president!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I hope you're all happy & healthy.

Thankful 2006
Thankful 2005
Thankful 2004

I'm at my parents' house where there is snow outside. My tummy is full of turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes and I'm eating a piece of pumpkin pie that I made with my mom last night. R* is here too and we're all hanging out together in the living room. I am thankful that I have my family all together for the holiday. I'm thankful that I am almost done with 5th quarter of nursing school and that I only have one more quarter to go before graduation. I'm thankful that we have our new Kismet kitty in our lives, which has helped ease the pain of losing Booshka and Kadydid last year. I'm thankful for my classmates who continue to rock in so many ways. I'm thankful for the blog readers out there who offer support from all over (especially SN Moxie who came all the way to Seattle to have coffee with me! Okay, so she was also present for the birth of her cousin's baby...) I am thankful that we sold our house before the housing market crapped out. I am thankful that R* has a good job and continues to support me while I finish up school. I am thankful that I have a job that is allowing me to get some experience in nursing before I find my first job. I am thankful that the time for having a baby is getting closer (but not quite yet).

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is becoming a holiday tradition.
Here is my list of thankfulness from 2004.
And here is my list from 2005.

This year I am thankful for:

My husband R* who is endlessly supportive of me, especially during this incomeless time of being a student.

My parents who are fantastic as always.

Being in nursing school and making progress toward doing what I really want to do for a living.

Our little house, which is keeping us warm and dry during the wettest November since 1953, even when the power went out for 6 hours Tuesday night.

My wonderful nursing school classmates who are the opposite of competitive and backstabbing, but instead take care of each other in a million tiny ways (a piece of chocolate when you're feeling down, an extra dollar for parking at the hospital, a phone call to see how your difficult paper is coming along, a funny email to keep your spirits up, a hug when you need it, and so much more).

The time we got to spend with our sweet Booshkaboo this year.

My various friends and loved ones all over the world.

Spending time with other people's babies since I'm not ready to have my own yet.

All my imaginary friends in the computer - you know who you are.

Living in such a great place, even though it has seemed slightly less great during the Great Deluge of 2006.

And if it's not too shallow, I would like to point out that I am grateful for eggnog lattes at this time of year.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
