Day 4:
Dan & Alice
I am very thankful for my brother, who is 6 years older than me, and his lovely wife who is 3 years older than me. My brother and to this day find very few things to see eye to eye about and yet when we really need each other, we are always there for one another. His wife is one of my very best friends. She is absolutely hysterical and we have a blast together! They have given me two (soon to be 4) wonderful nephews and I am so lucky to have them.
Day 5
Family
I have an extremely large extended family, my father is one of six boys and my mother is one of 11 children! All of them are married and have lots of kids who have lots of kids and we are just one huge group. I have so many people to love and who love me and it is such a blessing! I have a few cousins who are honestly my best friends whom I will bring up later this month!
Day 6
America
I am so thankful to live in a country where we have so many individual rights and so many opportunities! I feel so grateful to be a 27 year old single female with a job making equal pay to men who got time from work to exercise my right to vote. Our democratic nation is one i am so proud to live in.

November Thanks, Day 3
Day 3
Aidan, Gavin, and soon to be 2 more, aka my nephews!
Aidan is 7 and the love of my life. He is so loving and fun and I can't get enough of him! He's at an age where he is becoming bad and more aware but still holds his child like innocence. I can't wait to see him when I get home and follow up on our plans to see wreck it Ralph!
Gavin is 17 months and the cutest little guy you'll ever see. He is the happiest baby I've ever seen but I have lived in California for all of his little life so far and cannot wait to move home and watch him grow up!
In just 3 short months my sister in law is expecting twins, 2 more boys! A journey we are all looking forward to!
Being an aunt has been the most rewarding experience of my life and I can't imagine any role ill take with such pride!!

November Thanks
I am going to be thankful this month, I won't be able to do every day as I have a huge impending cross country road trip, but I will do my best to express my gratitude through the month of November.
Day 1:
My Parents.
I am beyond thankful for the amazing people I have been so incredibly lucky to call mom and dad, or mama and papa if you're me! I have learned so much from them throughout my 27.5 years and I could not be happier to now consider them my closest friends. They are always there for me and always know the right thing to do/say/suggest and on top of it, are funny as hell, party like rock stars and do good for themselves, their loved ones and strangers alike. If I am half the woman my mother is or half as caring as my father I will consider myself a huge success!
Day 2:
My Independence
I have already mentioned my supportive parents, and they have instilled in me the ability to succeed and stand up on my own an support myself and live my own life according to my own rules. We have a lot of friends and relatives who like to judge from afar, and they've taught me to not give a fuck what those people think, or what anyone thinks, and instead just be myself, on my own, succeeding. I am extremely independent and love at the end of the day to sit down and realize how much I accomplished on my own, it's such a comforting feeling. I don't need anyone but me to be the best version of myself, and I am so thankful for that.
