Thankful post

It's been awhile since we posted a thankful thread, so I thought I'd start another one out. Please feel free to chime in. Sometimes the stress of life gets in the way and we forget to take note of the things that we have to be thankful for. Today, I am thankful for: 44-45 lbs of weight loss, tons of inches, and an amazing amount of energy God's gift of Jesus to me when I never deserved it, and a great church that teaches truth the jazzersize class I start tomorrow night, and the wonderful girlfriend who has agreed to join me and take the class a husband who loves me no matter what size I am and is a HUGE encouragement to me two amazing boys who don't always get along with each other, but realize when an apology is needed a mommy who loves me and is so excited I'm down another size that she went and bought me new clothes like I'm still her "little " girl a job working for a company that I enjoy going to every day great employees who work for me and make the job I just mentioned a fun place to go to every day vacations!!!-my camping trip to Garner state park that is getting closer and closer (Memorial Day weekend) and last but not least, this OH board!
