Happy Thanksgiving! This holiday season has really made me think about all that I am thankful for.  One main thing that comes to mind is how thankful I am for having such a large, supporting family.  I truly have one of the best.  I also consider my team part of that family.  I am surrounded by some of the best people every day and I am so thankful for the opportunity to be apart of this program.  I know I have been greatly blessed.

This past week, I asked all of my teammates what they were thankful for.  The majority of answers were that they were thankful for the team.  I think that's a pretty special thing, knowing that a group of girls is thankful to be in each other's lives.  But here are all of their responses when asked what they were thankful for:

Bre Brock:  I'm thankful for the constant support of family and friends and for being able to say I'm apart of the MU women's basketball team.

Liz Smith: I'm thankful for having such wonderful teammates.

Paige Spietz: All of the wonderful people that I'm surrounded by everyday and the opportunity to be a Tiger!

Sydney Crafton: I'm thankful for my family, the opportunity to play at Mizzou and the coaching staff.

Kyley Simmons:  I'm thankful for my family and team and coaches.

Bre Fowler:  I'm thankful for life, family and having a sense of humor.

Liene Priede: I'm thankful for my health, my friends and family, and everything else.

Maggie Flynn:  I'm thankful for the gift to play basketball and the family God gave me.

Kendra Frazier:  I'm thankful for my teammates.

Christine Flores:Basketball and with a wonderful group of girls at that. 

Morgan Eye: I'm thankful for my family, friends and teammates and my home town.  They send me a lot of love.

Bailey Gee: I'm thankful for my teammates and this second opportunity I was given after recovering from my knee injury.

Peace, Love and Basketball.
