Today my heart aches for my dear and near friend, Sam. Her amazing auntie is slowly being swept away into Heaven's gate. Aunt Dee is an amazing person, through and through. The fact that the cancer is slowly taking over, just plain sucks.
My other friend lost her father this week. She is a strong fighter, but this will tear a person down and I am praying for her. God has a will for everyone, but this I just do not understand. Period.
So many people in my life have been effected by cancer. No words can comfort them. No action can make it go away. Cancer sucks.
I pray that it will get better for my friends. I have faith God is working in their lives. But I do not understand it. Cancer brings no good, just pain.
I pray that some brilliant person out there someday soon learns of a cure for this. In the mean time, I'm gonna do what I can to fight against this bitch!
Cancer sucks. I'm living to learn. We are going to win. Someday, someday soon!

November Days of Thanks Day's 12-18
I am so behind in my Thankfulness posts. It's always on my mind, but day are busy and sometimes there is no time to write it down.
Day 12 I am thankful for my best friend and older sister Abby Sue. I often tell people that she met me the day I came home from the hospital. I'm not really sure if that's true but she's been there since my memories began. She has always been my best friend, my older sister, and role model. I know that we haven't always been the closest, but she's a great person and I am happy to have such a person in my life. I know that she will stand up at my wedding, welcome my kids into this world, and for everything in between and after!
Day 13 I am thankful for my health. I am a healthy person with no pressing issues. There are so many people out there sick or hurting. I am thankful that is not the case for me. Life is sweet and I don't want to miss a thing
Day 14 I am thankful for little kids. They have such an excitement for life. The little things make them happy, bring a smile to their face, and bright up my life. Those little grins, belly laughs, and need to please is what makes me day better!
Day 15 I am thankful for Country Music! I am a singer, I enjoy music. It has a story, a meaning, a power. No matter my mood, I am calmed by music. Plus I'm excited for Country Thunder ! Great fun, great friends, and great memories. Not to mention Great Country Music!
Day 16 I am thankful for Fridays. Friday's excite me. It's an end to a busy week and an excuse to go out with friends... or in my case an excuse for others to go and me go work and make money. Either way, every Friday is a breath of fresh air and reason to loosen up and relieve the stress of the week. It's something to look forward to !
Day 17 I am thankful for mornings to sleep in. Although I only made it to 8:30am, I still got to wake up without feeling the need to rush out of bed. I was relax and had time to get up. I spent the morning cleaning an organizing. I love those days!
Day 18 I am thankful for I am thankful for laugher. Laughter is good for the soul. I am thankful for the laughable moments.

November days of Thanks Day 8-11
I am a bit behind these last couple of days but here we go
Day 8 I thankful for my brother. I miss him a lot now that is away at ISU. But I am thankful for the time he talks to me and when he comes back. Distance in our relationship has made us mature a little and I can not wait for Thanksgiving when he is home an entire week! I miss us arguing and annoying him :)
Day 9 I am thankful for my babysitting families. I love the kids. On Friday, my Friday buddy- Harper, and I sat on the sofa. She fell asleep in my arms and I cherished every moment of it! When she woke up she was so giggly and happy. Later that night I went to a night job where I got to cook pizza, do a science experiment, and play 20 questions. I love those moments with such happy children!
Day 10 I am thankful for Educators. I spent the morning at an Early Childhood Conference at MCC. I went with my Mommy and her co-workers. It was a great time! The amount of time my mom and her co-workers put in to make sure that every student of theirs is well educated and happy at school amazes me. I can not wait to get in the classroom and start me own thing!
Day 11 I am thankful for my friends! I wish one of my oldest friends a Happy Birthday today! I can not believe we have been friends since the 5th grade! It's been a hell of a ride and I can not wait until we "grow up". I also spent last night with some of my closest friends! I always laugh when I am with them and I am such a lucky girl to have people like that around. Everything we do is a fun time and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for us!
I would also like to say I am thankful for all the Veterans out there! They fight so I am free. Those who fought, are fighting, and will fight are the bravest men and woman I can think of and words can not express how grateful I am to live in a country. I am in forever debt to you! God Bless you, your families, and this country!

November Days of Thanks Day 7'
Day 7 I am thankful for friends that have become family. My Mom & Dad's friends since I was a baby have become family! They are my aunts, uncles, and cousins. We celebrate holidays together, we spend weekends together, and I am thankful for them in my life! They support me, they love me, and they make my life a little bit sweeter. I'm glad to have people like that around!
Matthew (Bird) made a peanut butter & pickle sandwich when he got home from school today. He is such a crack up and I am so blessed to call him my cousin since BEFORE he was born.

November Days of Thanks Day 6
Day 6 I am thankful for my last name. The Learmans have had their fair share of struggles and arguments in the last couple of years, but at the end of the day I will go to bat for any of them! We love big, we argue big, we support each other big! My aunts, uncles, and cousins have given me great memories and laughs. Even though I often cringe at sharing my last name to strangers, fearing they will recognize my family, I also hold pride in my name.
My Grandfather and Grandmother have been in this town for forty plus years. They are some of the best people I know and I am proud to be their granddaughter. My Father is one of the most active and hard working men in this community. I am proud to be his daughter. My Mother is a celebrity in the early childhood community and I am proud to be following her footsteps. My uncles grew up in this town- my one uncle is an amazing writer for the Woodstock Independent. I am proud to be his niece. My aunts are givers! I am proud to be the niece of a EBD teacher and nurse. My cousin Amber is so hard working and such a leader at her high school. I am proud to be her cousin!
Every family has on going drama. Every family has disagreements and low points. But I am thankful to have a big family that surrounds me and lives in the same place. I'll never be able to do anything without it getting back to my parents, but that has made me a better person.
We may not always like each other or understand each other's choices and actions. But at the end of the day you mess with one Learman you have messed with us all.

November Thankful Days 4&5
Day 4 - I am thankful for great Sundays. A great church community spent with people that I've known for most of my life. My church provides a place for me to use the talents God gave me such as singing, leadership, and teaching. It's a blessing to be able to surround myself with people of God and use those talents but also be able to praise God. Sundays are relaxing and dedicated to great people and family. I am thankful to have such a place and such a day. It's what I need to prepare myself for busy weeks.
Day 5- I am thankful for awesome grandparents who love me! I am fortunate enough to have all four grandparents in my life who love me and want to see me succeed in life. They are great people who I look up to and adore!

November Thankfulness Days 1-3
Can not believe that it is November already!! I have about five weeks of school left!!
All over Facebook people have been sharing what they are thankful for each day. Rather than clogging up my friends newsfeed I have decided to do it here. I am a few days behind, but here we go!
Day 1. I am thankful for the oppurtunites in my life. There are sooooooo many families that have welcomed me into thier homes to care for thier children. It's a crazy schedule but I love most every minute of it! It has allowed me to be a full time student and still be able to work a full time job, a job in which I love!!
Day 2. I am thankful for a slow week. After working 40-50 hours a week for weeks on end it was nice to have a mellow week to relax, get organize, and gear up for the crazy holiday season.
Day 3. I am thankful for my parents. I don't always agree, like, or understand the things they do. But they have raised me to be hard working, tough, and smart. They have instilled morals and manners in me that will get me far in life. And most of all they have provided all my needs and more! I have never had to worry how I'm going to eat, pay for things, or where I am going to sleep at night. They have given me a great life! It's had it's fair share of negatives or struggles, but they gave me the love and strength to get through it all. Thier actions have been the greatest lesson of them all. Work hard, have fun, be polite, and happy with what you have.
Until the net time ...
