1. God
Some of you may think "Yeah, yeah she had to get God in there. This will be the typical thankfulness blog". And you know what you're absolutely right. God has done so much for me. From dying on the cross for my sins, to comforting me while I cry myself to sleep, to providing for me, to blessing me with a healthy life, to so much more that I will never be able to thank him for near as much as he deserves. If it wasn't for God I wouldn't be here; it's that simple. So yes, this is quite the typical thanks to God, but he deserves it, and so much more. We get so wrapped up in our busy lives and forget to take the time to do this simple act. Every day it amazes me that God will always love me. I never feel like I completely deserve it, but he always pours it over me. And for that I am forever grateful and for that I will always love and adore him.
2. Parents
My parents and I have been on quite the journey together. They have loved me through the tantrums I threw as a child, the drama I caused as a teen, and the many many times I have asked for money. My parents drive me absolutely insane. Especially my mom (sorry mom I know you will read this, but you know it's true). I won't be able to ever understand why they have put up with me until I have a child of my own, but the fact that they have is why I am so thankful. We scream and fight with each other, on a daily basis, but somehow you still tell me you love me and you still will do anything for me.
I don't understand why you do things the way you do, but I always know you do them because you think it's best. I know you always have my best interest at heart. Thank you for being the 2 people that I will always be able to rely on to do that. Even when I'm old and married and have children of my own I know no one will ever care for me the way y'all do. Thank you.
3. Josh (My older brother)Good ole Josh. You are probably too busy having fun doing goodness knows what to read this, but here is why I am thankful for you. You have made me cry, countless times, but through those tears you have taught me how to stand up for myself. You give the best hugs ever, even when I force them on you. Even though sometimes you want to pretend you won't, I know you would protect me against anyone and anything. You are a good listener. You showed me how to be a good driver by being a terrible one. You are the wildest spirit I have ever known, and that tells me that life can be fun. You are the best big brother I could ever ask for.
4. Friends
First of all if you're my friend you deserve an award. I know I'm extremely hard to deal with, and for that reason I have gone through many many many friends. So this is for those few who have stuck around over the years. Thank you for seeing the best in me. Thank you for understanding me. Thank you for loving me through the hard times. Thank you for spending time with me. Thank you for listening to all my problems. Thank you for just being there.
One friend who deserves a special thanks is my roommate. You are the first person besides my family to ever live with me. You are basically my family now. You have shown me many new things in life, and you have really tested my patience. You are the person I see every day. You let me borrow your clothes. You put up with my weird habits and my annoying complaining. But most importantly you haven't killed me yet. We get in arguments, and we don't always like each other, but just know I will always be thankful for you.
5. Education
The school I graduated from will forever hold a special place in my heart. The teachers, staff, and classmates there showered me with love and treated me as family. During my time there I had countless people pray with me and pray over me many times. I now have lasting relationships with not only classmates, but teachers as well who I love dearly. I will never forget the kind words and prays I received after losing my grandfather, being hospitalized, or just after having a bad day. Day after day I was amazed by the power of God in that school. I am beyond thankful I was able to attend and leave with amazing memories and amazing relationships.
6. UAH
This one isn't going to be long or very deep, but I am so glad and so thankful I am able to attend a university in my hometown. Even though (like I said above) my parents drive me crazy I enjoy being able to grab dinner, or run by the house to say hi every now and then. I am very thankful that I know where everything is in town, and I am not in some foreign place I know no one or know nothing about. UAH has been a great school and a great fit for me.
