♫ Thankful ♫

I know.... Im slacking...

Day 4: Today, I am thankful for Rand, the helpful guy at south towne mall.
I have had nothing but problems with my ring since I got it. I loved my ring, had to get it fixed several times, because diamonds kept coming out. had to get a whole new one made. Had to pick a whole new setting because I was losing diamonds on that one too. and then the store broke my band in 2 places when I got it redipped. Needless to say I have not been happy with them. ANYWAY... Long story short. Rand was amazing and I ended up getting my diamond set in just a solitaire band, Its not my dream ring, but at least I have a ring again. THANKS RAND!

Day 5: Today I am thankful for snow. I hate driving in it, but It's so pretty to look at.

Today was the first snow storm of the year (at least at my house)I love the snow. It makes the world look so pretty, but I hate driving in it. Lucky for me, it was a Saturday, and I didn't have to drive anywhere if I didn't want to (I did- but the roads were not bad)

Day 6: Today I am thankful for babies I get to hold. It's such a wonderful feeling having them in my arms.

I got to hold my nephew Korbin today, as well as my Neices new baby Lydia. They are both super cute. Korbin is about 12 weeks. and Lydia is about 3 weeks. They are so small and innocent I just cant get enough of them. I could hold them all day long!

Day 7: Today I am thankful for a boss that takes time out of their busy day to tell me that I'm doing a great job.

It really meant a lot to me since I was doing 2 peoples jobs and getting trained on another job. I was going a little crazy but being told that I was doing a good job during all the madness kind of recharged my batteries, and I was able to go on with out pulling all of my hair out.

Day 8: Today (as in yesterday) I am thankful for Tony Bennett and Loni Bennett for 1: the super yummy dinner and dessert they made for us last night and 2: more importantly, their friendship!

Tony and Rob have been friends for a long time now, and he and Loni have been married for almost 2 years. We used to live a few doors down from them when we were both just married, and it was so much fun always hanging out with them. When we all moved, it was harder to see them, plus Loni is a studant as well as working, so her schedules are pretty crazy. But the last few weeks, we have been able to hang out with them. They are both amazing and great people and their friendship means a lot to us.

♫ Good Riddance (Time of your life) ♫

Day 3: Today, I am thankful for time.

I am thankful for the time at work where I get to learn new things, and the time at home where I get to relax. I'm thankful that time goes by fast while at work, and slow when I'm with family. I'm grateful for the time away from family, because it makes the time together even more special.

I'm thankful for the time I have had and do have on this earth, and for the promise of a lifetime and eternity of happiness and joy. I'm thankful for the yesterdays that I have struggled with, because they have given me strength for today. I'm thankful for the mistakes of the past, because they have given me wisdom and insight for the future.

♫ November ♫

There is a thing going around Facebook, where each day in November, you update your status to something you are thankful for. I have decided that as long as I was doing that on facebook, I was going to do a little blurb on my blog as well. I figure my blog is a good way to "journal" whats going on, and it would also be a good way to count my many blessings. Each thing that I post, I want to have to do with what happend that day. that way I can also kind of remember what Im doing at the same time. I am doing this a day late, so you lucky ladies and gentleman get a two for one.

Day 1: I am thankful for my family. I am blessed by atleast one of them every day.

I had to run to my sisters house to get some boxes to prepare for the big move, and while I was only there for a few minutes, her and her kids made me smile and laugh. Im also blessed to get to talk to my cousin almost everyday, she makes work go by faster, and its so much fun having a cousin that is also a good friend. Also, my dad sends some very funny, random texts all day long, and Im thankful for it. Its great to have him back in my life even with all of his random weirdness.

Day 2: I am thankful for my job. I know I may get stressed with it sometimes but I'm lucky to have a great job I love when some people cannot find any work at all.

Today, I started training on a new job. It is not something I will be doing all the time, I will just be filling in when someone is on vacation, or sick. Training was somewhat stressful, and if you add that work, to my current work load, Im in for an adventure. But even with the stress that comes with my job, I still love it, and I feel blessed every day to have a job, especially one that I love.
