As a mom, I try to teach my kids to be grateful all year. Each day we chat about something they’re thankful for and their responses often take me by surprise. I’ve heard things like, “my toes!”, “my comfortable pillow”, and my favorite: “that we live on Earth because if we lived on Jupiter we’d die”.
Since I’m the only mom at liquidfish, I wanted to ask our team the same question. It’s clear from their responses that 2017 has been a great year!
This year, liquidfish received several awards and experienced a lot of exciting events.

Erin (Executive Assistant) -
I'm thankful for OKC for being an amazing home to me these past 11 months (and for my boyfriend and his family who made it easy for me to call home since the day I arrived). For Snapchat and FaceTime for letting me feel like I'm in the same room as all my family and friends who are spread out all over the country. For working at a place where the hold music is EDM, bean bags are a normal seating option for meetings, and at any time you can find people attempting yoga poses on the floor, playing pinball, or just chatting. Oh, and working. Last but not least, I am thankful for the two fish that have survived in the fish tank next to my desk (RIP Dory and Marlin)
Cody (President) -
My children, friendships, the ability to discern if those friendships are genuine, music, football, basketball, that baseball season is over, cheeseburgers, scotch, parents, brother, good health, good wine, a good team, good clients, Jesus, airplanes, love, guitars, drums, calendars, live television, and exotic animals.
Amanda (Social Media) -
This year, a lot happened. The Astros won the World Series! (go home team, that’s my home team!) and I got married! Honestly, I’m all out of sap because the wedding has wiped me out. But I am extremely thankful for this life God has blessed me with. I’m healthy, my family is healthy, I have a home that’s full of love, and a husband who is God’s greatest gift to me. I’m blessed.
Moriah (Social Media) -
I'm thankful for this new gig and my financé and holiday trips home to visit all my family! I’m also very thankful for Braum’s Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream.
Grant (Developer) -
I’m thankful for all the serial killer and alien documentaries on Netflix.
Wendy (Social Media) -
Jesus, coffee, my husband and children, family and friends, ice cream, Saturdays, Spanx, freedom, cheeseburgers, electricity, and corrective lenses.

I'm thankful for my wife for putting up with me always thinking about work and making me a better person, my awesome daughter who is more than I could have every asked for, my family, my co-workers, Sobe, Quake, vision, hearing and most importantly the Bible and creator of the universe.
Happy Thanksgiving!
