I'm thankful for....

A little over a month after being crowned Miss Gateway to the West, I have a lot to be thankful for! I have cherished getting to know my wonderful board and am so grateful for their enduring support, friendship, and love. Morgan, Charlee, and Jillian are three of the most inspiring women I have had the pleasure to meet and I am so glad that our year together is just starting! Thank you, Mike, Mary, Gina, Gary, Mallory, Caitlin, Kerri, Paula, Tricia, Jillian, Charlee, and Morgan for providing me such an outstanding opportunity to grow as a person with your input and encouragement!

Fortunately, clinic was canceled for Thanksgiving, so I was able to drive home to Columbia, MO to visit with my family and friends. I have just finished dinner with my parents and am sitting with Brande, our family dog, enjoying a fire in our fireplace.  Coming home to relax like this always reminds me of all of God's blessings in my life, most of all my family.  (Miss you big bro and sis-in-law!). I am so thankful to have such a wonderful family foundation.

Here's hoping that you and your family are filled with good food, great love, and genuine gratitude on this holiday! Happy Thanksgiving!
