Thankful Thursday

Sorry, it’s end of month here and always SUPER busy… so I’m really MIA today. Most people have trouble as they get older, so list three things you are thankful for when your birthday comes around every year. Also, list three things you have done this past year you are really proud of (they can be related).

    Three things I'm thankful for when my birthday comes around:
    1. Eating my favorite cake!
    2. Going on my friend's bachelorettey party in Playa del Carmen, Mexico (we're leaving the day of my bday)
    3. Thankful that I will be a few more months closer to the wedding =)

    Three things I did this past year that I'm proud of: I can only think of one right now.
    1.  Being able to really buckle down and save money for our first home.
    2.  I finished the Cherry Blossom 10-mile last year.  It was my PR at a little les than an hour and 40 min =)

    Thankful ..
    My health is back on track and I haven't had heart problems in a long time.
    I have been over seizure medication for three+ years and have not had a seizure.
    I have a great support system of family and friends.


    Three things I am proud of
    I got a 4.0 last semester after dealing with a lot of family stuff and even thought about dropping classes.
    I was able to give my uncle and my grandma a eulogy they deserved.
    I changed jobs so that I had more flexibility with my family and school stuff, which means less money, but I was able to be there for my family when they needed me.
