I am Thankful Linky!

Today I am linking up with Molly at Lucky to be in First for a Thankful Linky.

My hubby and I a few weeks ago at a wedding.... and below: my family and me for Thanksgiving 2 years ago!

6. I have the best job in the world...well, besides maybe being a taste tester for See's Candy. I love it!

However, I am not thankful for the extra calories as I just get a plain latte the other 11 months of the year!

And last is  a string of other things that randomly came to mind that make me happy:

and THIS is why I am thankful for airplanes... you can go places like this:
