Top Two Tuesday!

Top 2 things you're thankful for

So, today's Top 2 Tuesday will be a little bit of a cliche...however, I truly believe these are the people I am the most thankful for!  =)

1.  My family

This is the latest picture (and quite possibly, the ONLY picture) of my entire family.  I am thankful for each of them for different reasons, so I thought I would mention one reason that I am currently feeling thankful for each of them:

 

Daniel, my brother -- Because any time I have a sports-related question, I just call the walking football encylcopedia that he is and I have the answer in no time.  =)

 

Laura, my sister -- Because I know that even though she is super busy with grad school, she still managed to put together TONS of stuff (including the slideshow DVD) for our mom's birthday party.

 

Patrick, my beau -- Because he gave up what I assumed was going to be a day of constant football watching to run all over Nashville doing fun stuff with me yesterday!

 

My Dad -- Because he is helping me plant Day Lilies in my yard this weekend even though he'll only be in town a couple of days.

 

My Mom -- Because she guilted me into doing what it takes to FINALLY get in enough shape to walk a half marathon this weekend.

 

Carole, my aunt -- Because she practically remodeled the house I bought in Knoxville...then, when I decided to pack up and move to Nashville just a year later, she was right there helping me pack (yeah, it may not have been the most unselfish moment of my life)...also, she makes a mean cherry yum-yum.  =)

 

Kelley (my cousin), Tim (her husband), and Stephanie (her daughter) -- Because they (especially Kelley) did soooooooo much to help me get ready for my mom's birthday party.  It was such a great day and it definitely wouldn't have been possible without their help!

 

Rhonda, my other cousin -- Because even though she had just gotten back from the beach, she still managed to come to my mom's birthday party...and she even brought cookies!!!!!  =)

 

2.  My friends

 

Again, I am thankful for each of these people for different and many reasons, so here are a few of my favorite pics: 

Kathleen, friend from grad school

Andi, friend from my first job

Anna Catherine, friend from grad school

Jennifer and Zac, friends from Nashville

Alysia, friend from formerly working together and Kevana, friend through Alysia

Stacy, friend from the Junior Chamber

Chase, friend from the Junior Chamber

Stacy, friend from kickball

Lindy, friend from Nashville

Mickey, friend from kickball and Kat's fiance

Casey, friend from Junior Chamber

Adam, Alacia, and Baby Hannah, friends I met through Patrick

Amber and Clay, former co-worker with her and played kickball with both of them

Sandy, friend from work

Geez louise!  I hope I haven't forgotten anyone!  All of these people mean sooooooo much to me!  I am so lucky to be blessed with so many wonderful friends!

Okay, so I just realized that one of the pictures I tried to upload last night didn't make it for some reason...stupid Blogger picture issues!  Then, when I tried to upload it today from work, I couldn't get it to work...stupid work computer isses!  Therefore, I'll just tell you about them and then I'll try to upload the picture tonight from home.  Elaine is a friend of mine from an internship I did in college and Ken is her husband!  They are great friends, and we always have such a wonderful time hanging out!  If only they lived closer to Nashville.  =)
