One Year Awesomer

11-05-12 Today is my birthday!  31 years of awesome.

I love, love, love celebrating my birthday.  We had an amazing party on Saturday (one party to rule them all!), and I've nearly finished our Party Project.

And now, without further ado, list number one - 31 People I'm Thankful For (not ranked):

1. Mi esposo/mi amor/the rev/Mike
2. Rachie B.
3. My sister-in-law, Colleen
4. Mike's parents
5. Mike's grandparents
6. Alicia-b-married
7. Amanda
8. My new boss, Nancy, who is awesome!
9. My former boss, Michael, who taught me so much, and helped me to refine my accounting and problem solving skills
10. Vance
11. My parents
12. Todd & Angie (even though it's awkward) for teaching me to sing from my stomach
13. Crystal & Geoff, because they heard me
14. Nancy H., who might possibly be the most generous person I know
15. My siblings, in all of their complexity
16. Lalita, who creates beautiful things for the people in her life.  Creative and amazing.
17. Cynthia and her husband, Michael, who laugh harder than anyone I know.  I'm going to do more of that.
18. Angie and Marion, who fed us and fixed our house
19. Sue and Joe, who shared their kitchen and gave me wine when they weren't supposed to
20. Nickaela, because her stubbornness and intelligence are so inspiring
