Simone: What I’m Thankful For This Thanksgiving

It's that time of the year where we reflect on what we're thankful for. As much as I love Thanksgiving dinner, I REALLY love to sit down with family and enjoy our time together. Sometimes in life we get wrapped up in the negative drama in the world -- so it's nice to sit down and write a list of what makes me smile and what I'm so thankful for!

So here ya go... (try this yourself, it'll definitely put a smile on your face) - also, this is in no particular order.

1. Jesus' love and my faith. Without this I am nothing. With this I am everything. So even though this list isn't in order, He is #1. Always.

2. My incredible family. My parents, Art and Rebecca, who have busted their butts to make me the woman I am today. My siblings, Nolan, Connor, Athena, and Sophia - the four greatest people I know. I love them with all my heart.

3. My fiance, Bart Sessions. He is everything I am not. He's my perfect other half. He takes care of me, provides for us, and is really cute (LOL). He's my best friend in the entire world... I don't know what I'd do without him. I cannot wait to marry him in June 2017. He has two beautiful daughters, Madi and Molli, who I am honored to call my family.

4. My health - not everyone can say that and I am beyond thankful that I can today.

5. My job and co-workers. I'm blessed to work alongside a few cool people that make everyday worth it. Especially my co-host, Steve -- who has become one of my best friends in a short time.

6. My friends - Although I live away from most of them, I have some amazing friends who I know are always there for me.

7. Southern food!! AHHH - it's sooo good for the soul. Give me some BBQ, give me some meat and 3 --- this Yankee loves her some Southern food!!

8. My freedom and those who fight for it. I'll never take that for granted. God Bless AMERICA!
