TIGF-Thanksgiving Edition

I know today is Thursday, but it seemed fitting to be Thankful on Thanksgiving and not wait until tomorrow to post this. So here it is, the Thanksgiving edition of Things I'm Grateful For:

I'm thankful for my family, both immediate and extended! I have awesome memories of growing up with my cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents, especially around the holidays, and I have now been a Schuster long enough to say that I am part of the memories and the "remember when" stories on that side as well! I am happy to watch Riley get to be a part of those memories and for her to build those kinds of memories with her cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, GREAT grandparents and extended family.

I'm happy that I have a very flexible job that I really like (even on Thanksgiving and Black Friday!), which allows me to stay at home with Roo, and that Josh has a job at all in this crazy economy. Granted, he is working a lot of crazy long hours because of the wacky stock market these days, at least we are fortunate to have that to complain about.

I am hopeful that my friends and family who have lost jobs this year will find work as the economy begins to shift for the better...soon!!!

I know this isn't popular with everyone, but I'm super thankful that we have a new president to fix the problems caused by the current idiot and I honestly pray for Obama's safety because I believe he will be a really good president.

I am especially grateful that my friends Meg "Fred" and Will are in the position to have a very happy holiday despite the awful year they have had thus far, I won't go into detail just yet, but things are looking happy again and that is something I wish for them more than anything this year!

I am also thankful for all of you. Thank you for your friendship!
