Attitude of Gratitude - A Special Edition

So many, many years of things to be thankful for (10, in fact):

1. I'm thankful for my soul mate, who is always at my side through good times and bad.

2. I'm thankful for our two beautiful children that were created with love.

3. I'm thankful for always having a listening ear, ready to listen to everything from silly stories about my third graders to my deepest, most private thoughts.

4. I'm thankful for someone to cuddle with every night as I fall asleep and every morning as I wake up...and for many other moments in between as well!

5. I'm thankful for an equal partner who helps with cleaning, laundry, and many other household chores without complaint.

6. I'm thankful that my children have a father who is always a willing and active participant in their lives and who loves them tremendously.

7. I'm thankful for amazing memories of first dates, vacations, times with family, times with friends, and so many, many more!

8. I'm thankful for unconditional love.

9. I'm thankful for spontaneity...in the form of flowers, letters, poems, notes, kisses, date-nights, special surprises....the list goes on and on...

10. I'm thankful for a little bar called Attractions, where a freshman girl (who may have been having a little TOO much fun) met a junior boy. I'm thankful that the junior boy called the freshman girl and asked her out on a date. I'm thankful that the freshman girl said yes, and that 10 years ago today, that freshman girl and junior boy started a relationship that, 10 years later, is stronger and more wonderful than ever.

Ten years ago today. Where did the time go? I guess the saying is true. Time sure does fly when you're having fun!

I love you, Steve. Here's to ten more awesome years together...and ten more...and ten more...and ten more...and ten more...you get the picture!
