Thanksgiving is the perfect time of year to reflect on all that we have to be thankful for.

And every Thanksgiving since 2018, I am, above all else, grateful for my sweet little boy. Just a few months shy of four-years-old, he is the heart that beats outside of my body. I am forever grateful to be his mommy and watch as he lives, learns, loves, and grows in this world. He is a constant reminder of all the good things in life.

I am grateful for the health and happiness of my family - my 91-year-old grandpa who still mows his own lawn; my mother and father, who are the best Boda and Papa a little boy could ask for; my three brothers, their better halves, and my three nephews and one niece; an aunt who is a second mother and friend to me. And although we lost my sweetest grandma earlier this year, I am grateful for all the years we had with her and all that we learned from her. She remains in my heart, guiding me through life.

I’m grateful for my SQUAD - the best girlfriends a girl could ask for, as well as their significant others and kiddos, that make my life richer. These are friends who have been around for 15, 20, even 25 years, and are truly like family. Although life keeps us busy, whenever we spend time together, it’s like no time has passed. Get yourself a group of friends like this.

With 5+ years at Mid-States Concrete under my belt, I’m also endlessly grateful to work for a company that encourages the development and success of its team members. And, I’d be remiss if I didn’t express my gratitude for the customers that trust Mid-States to serve as partners on their projects. Every day, we get to be part of amazing projects that make a difference in the communities where people live, work, learn, and play. It’s a blessing our team does not take lightly. So, a BIG THANK YOU to all of our customers - past, present, and future. We can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next!
