Birthday (late but still good)- 27 Blessings

So I know that this post is late but life seems to have away of sneaking up on me and then running away. So I thought that I would just take the time now to sit down and write it.  So it has been about a year since I started this blog and last year on my birthday I wrote about how unhappy with where I was in my life and all the hopes and dreams I had for Jon and my life to be going and how I had to stop dreaming and just start doing.  Well since then a lot has happened and I have tried to keep you all up on everything that has been happening.  So this year for my Birthday I thought that I would so something different.  I thought that I would count my blessing.  Because I turned 27 I thought that I would give you all my top 27.  I am going to stick to things that have happened over the last year.  I know that I have way more that 27 blessings but I thought that it would just be fun to do.  So here we go 27 Blessings late but still good.

1. Welcoming a new member to our family with the birth of Lilah in July.
2. Being able to get closer with Brian the week that I sent with him while Lilah and Maria were in the hospital.  I am so thankful that Maria and Shawn allowed me to do that.
3. Being asked and accepting to be Lilah's Godmother.  That was a big honor for me.
4. Megan asking me to be her confirmation sponsor.  I love getting to share the special moments in my family's life and the feeling that it gives me to know that they want me to be part of it.
5. Having parents that will bend over backwards to help Jon and I.  Every time we have needed to move there have been right there to help.  Even if it was just form one building to another building on campus and then about a month later to Northern Kentucky and watching their grand-dog any chance they get.  I don't tell them enough thank you and that I love them.
6. Having in-laws that will bend over backwards to help Jon and I.  We don't tell them enough how much everything they do is appreciated,  how thankful we are to have them in our lives and that we love them.
7.  Having an extended family that is always there for us with whatever we need.
8. Megan and Jake even though they are growing up they don't feel to cool for me.  It will be great to have Jake at NKU next year we may get to spend more time with him.  They also come and help us every time we move.  Even when Jake is giving me a hard time it is great to spend the time with them.  Megan also came up when I had my surgery to hang with me and help it was great to have here there. 
9. Being able to go to Florida in November to be able to share in such a special day for my cousin Sarah and her new husband James as they got married.  It was great to be able to stand up there with her as she got married. 
10. Getting accepted into a great group of friends once we moved up here that Jon already knew thru his sister that we get to meet up with once a month and have a meal with it is so much fun. 
11. We have a wonderful home that we are living in that we are working on making our own and that is so much fun for me.
12. My Grandparents all three of them are wonderful people they are always there to try and help me all that they can.  I am so thankful for all of the wonderful memories that I have with each one of them.
13. Knowing that I am loved by a lot of people without them always having to tell me that they love me even though  it is still nice to hear.

24. Having our time at St. Catharine College.  It gave us the time to figure out that we really wanted to be around our family.  It also gave me the time to figure out that I really am supposed to be a teacher,  by taking some classes and shadow teaching and loving every minute and doing really well in all of the classes.
