My List.

Yesterday, I kept (half) joking that I had started a “list” and this list was not something you wanted to be on. But instead of writing my “list” here, I will instead make a list of 10 people I thankful for.

I am thankful for…

1. My best friend, Courtney. She always answers the phone and listens to me complain. And she goes with me to Cedars Woodfire Grill whenever I want. She even told me she would rescue me if I ran out of gas this morning on the way to the gym. At 5:30am.

2. My crazy co-worker, Tim McAtee. He was my first friend at my new job this year and has, on so many occasions, helped me out of situations I didn’t know how to get out of. I am pretty sure I would have quit by now without him. 

3. My mom. Although we don’t talk as often as we used to anymore, I still loving picking up the phone and calling her in the mornings before work.

4. My workout friend, Teal. I am pretty sure I would have quit working out and definitely stopped running without her encouragement. AND she bought a swim suit and started swimming with me on Friday.  Yay for cross training.

5. My running partner, Heidi. I have to run on my own this weekend and even though I have done it before, the last two long runs have been so much easier with her by my side.

6. My friend, Kristin. She led HS bible study on Wednesday night so I could stay home and do homework for my Thursday night class.

7. My graduate school friends…pretty much it’s the only way I get through class most nights.  

8. My trainer, Will. He and I have been teaming up for 4 years now. He listens to me when I complain, and challenges me when I need it.

9. My friend, Heather. Without her help this year I am quite certain my students would not have learned anything. Some days she has single handedly kept me and my curriculum afloat.

10. My friend Lindsay. Our bi-montly phone call came this week and it is so good to talk to her and catch up on life. I love friends that you can just pick up where you left off after months and everything is good again. 

I am also thankful for jeans on Friday and the weekend.
