It’s Holly

[every day, for the month of November, I've decided to write a short blog about something I'm thankful for. these are days 25, 26, 27 and 28.]

25. moms: well, first of all, she birthed me, and i’m definitely thankful for that. where do i begin? seriously… she’s moms. she raised two girls by herself, worked and put herself through night school, drove me to high school an hour away because i didn’t want to switch to a closer local school, when she cooks, she puts her foot in it. to put it simply, she’s the business, and i love her. hard. so much that i got a tattoo for her. lol

26. tina: the bestest biggest sister ever. she probably doesn’t realize how big of an influence she’s had on my life. i can almost guarantee that i wouldn’t have the career i have now if it wasn’t for her. she loans me cash and doesn’t make me feel bad about it. she eats all my foodie suggestions and (usually) isn’t afraid. she listens to me vent at work. she makes me give her hugs. i love her, hard. so much that i got a tattoo for her, too

27. jonathan: where do i begin with this boy? sigh. i’m getting misty. he’s the reason i’ve ever been able to travel internationally. he’s the reason i’m a foodie. he leaves me the most awesomest long voicemails ever. he is my soulmate. we finish each others sentences and i swear we communicate telepathically in awkward situations. he’s my best friend in the whole wide world, and that will never change. he’s all kinds of irreplaceable. i love him like a fat kid loves sour cherry pie.

28. everyone i know: everybody that comes in and out of my life is here to teach me something. hopefully, i’ll be non-hardheaded long enough to learn, and hopefully, i’ll get lucky enough to teach them a couple things as well.

i hope you all had an awesomely awesome thanksgiving. i know i did. stay thankful.
