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

When it comes to the list of things I have to be thankful for, my sweetest little boy is my greatest blessing. Just shy of five years old, he makes my heart full every single day. He is truly the best thing I have ever done and is a constant reminder of all the good things in life.

I am grateful for the health and happiness of my family - my 92-year-old grandpa who renovated his bathroom all on his own this year; my mother and father, who offered endless support and help in my first year as a homeowner, and who are the best Boda and Papa a little boy could ask for; my three brothers, their better halves, my three nephews, and one niece, and although we don’t see each other nearly enough, we never stop laughing when we do see each other; an aunt who is a second mother and friend to me; and an amazing partner and his four kids, who have brought me endless happiness in 2022.

No list of things I’m grateful for would be complete without a shoutout to my SQUAD - the best girlfriends a girl could ask for, who, with their significant others and kids, extend what it means to be family. Although we all have our own crazy lives and crazy calendars, we still manage to pencil each other in occasionally and once we all get together, it’s like no time has passed. Get yourself friends like these.

With 6+ years at Mid-States under my belt, I’m also endlessly grateful to work for a company that encourages the development and success of its team members. I’m lucky enough to get to do some really cool things and enjoy the people on our team. 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. To be part of amazing projects that make such a difference in the community, is a blessing we don’t take lightly.

A BIG THANK YOU to all of our customers - past, present, and future. We can’t wait to see what is up next!
