Thankfulness

I stole this idea from my sister-in-law April's blog, "who stole it from a friend, who stole...", you get the idea. Each day she states what she is thankful for. I am thankful for
My Brothers and Sisters
I have been blessed with three brothers and three sisters. Growing up my brothers were always willing to share with me. Whenever it was their time to babysit the younger siblings they were more than willing to let me have their turn. My sisters were 5, 7 and 9 years younger than I. While I was interested in all that the "80's" had to offer a teenager, they were enjoying their strawberry shortcake dolls and Saturday morning smurf cartoons. My youngest brother, who is 11 years younger than me, was the stand up comic of the family. Now that we are adults, and have families of our own we love to get together when time permits. All of my siblings live in Utah all within 40 minutes of each other. I, being the only one in Montana, more than 500 miles away, it makes weekend get togethers a little hard. We enjoy yearly family get togethers, and whenever I get to Utah we enjoy seeing everyone. I have learned something valuable from each of my siblings. Brad - hard work, Allen - humor, Stephanie - compassion, Eve - organization and design, Nicole - love of life, Johnny - dedication.
