Today we’re continuing with 10 things each of our coordinators have to be thankful for! We all have so much to be thankful for and are excited to share just a few of those things with you!

Allison:

Some of Allison’s family, friends and dogs!

1) I am thankful for my parents, who always support me and give me good advice
2) I am thankful for my brother, who is a great friend and person
3) I am thankful for my grandparents, with out them I would not be able to do a lot of what I have in my life
4) I am thankful for the pets in my live, who give me so much joy and teach me unconditional love.
5) I am thankful for my boyfriend, who is just amazing. I could not have asked for a more amazing man.
6) I am thankful for Oregon weather. I love the season here. Even though summer always feels too short, I really appreciate four distinct season.
7) I am thankful to live in a free country. This is something that I forget often. Things like being able to ride in the front seat of a car, voting, and choose who I marry are not freedoms all women get.
8) I am thankful for my job. Being able to pay my bills and do things I love with out being stressed is not something that everyone gets to do these days.
9) I am thankful for my health. Being healthy, not having any major health problems is also something I forget to be thankful for.
10) I am thankful for my friends. I have wonderful friends that are so good to me! Life is so much better with them!

1. I am thankful that God is on my side, even though I’ve done nothing to deserve it. He is always there and watches out for my best. His timing is impeccable and He has put in me a discernment that even I don’t understand sometimes. I am blessed beyond belief with my faith.
2. I am thankful for work!
3. I am thankful for the amazing opportunity to do what I LOVE! Never in a million years did I think I would be where I am at now, so quickly! It has always been a dream of mine to work in the wedding industry. I by chance heard of Champagne and within a month was on board with these fabulous ladies! I love what I do and how many people I have met along the way! I hope one day to be in the presence of Preston Bailey himself! *One can dream*
4. I am thankful for my musical talent.
5. I am thankful for all the friends I have had. Each has molded me in some way to make me who I am today, whether good or bad.
6. With that said, I am thankful for this {long} season of singleness! Every little girl’s dream is to be in a white dress, going down the isle! While that dream does not fade as we get older, especially working in the wedding industry, you start to realize that it’s not half bad being single! God knows why I am still single, has filled up my days with much to do, and I have a group of amazing men of God that keep me entertained while the perfect one is preparing to sweep me off my feet!
7. I am thankful for my little apartment I call home!
8. This may sound a bit odd, but I am thankful that I was able to be vegetarian for over a year!
9. I am thankful for peace.
10. Last, but certainly not least, I am beyond thankful for the family that God made me part of.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Cheers,

The Champagne Team
