I feel like I really need to just sit down and write a thankful blog. I’ve had a really “boohoo, poor me” attitude lately, and I’m feeling a little ridiculous for that right now. So let me just tell you some of the things I am so thankful for in my every-day life.
- We’re having a baby and I’m one fourth of the way done! Yes, pregnancy has been rough for me, but I would never for a minute say that it’s not worth it. I am so excited for what is to come, and I love my little fetus.
-Cody. My dear husband Cody comes home EVERY DAY at the same time. At 5:15. It’s glorious. He NEVER has to stay late (I know this will change a little during tax season). His work is within walking distance. I could go eat lunch with him if I wanted to! He is the best husband. He takes such good care of me. And when he comes home at 5 and realizes that I didn’t do anything all day but lay around and watch tv, he is so patient and he knows that sometimes I need these days when I’m not feeling great. He doesn’t care that I don’t make his favorite foods anymore because they nauseate me, and sometimes I don’t make dinner at all and he just eats a can of chili. He is so much fun, and we have a blast just watching tv, or playing wii, driving around, going to walmart, or whatever else we think of to do in this small town. I love him so much.
-My new washer and dryer, my new tv, and our new wii. Enough said.
-Thankful that Cody and I both have good jobs. Today I went to sub for a full day for the first time since I’ve been sick, and it was great. The crazy kids distracted me from my issues and I made it through the day just fine! And because Cody and I have good jobs, we have a little more flexibility when it comes to money these days. It‘s about time and we love it.
-The people in my new ward. There are a few families from church who have really just gone out of their way to reach out to Cody and I. It’s so good to know that I have other girls here that I can talk to and hang out with if I need someone.
-A loving supportive family and good friends. Although I don’t live close to my family or my best friends, I can definitely feel their love. I love the phone calls, emails, letters and cards from people who love me.
Of course there are a lot of other little small things that I am thankful for every day, but these are the big ones. This is a really fun, exciting time for Cody and I and I really need to have a more thankful attitude. Thank you to everyone who has listened to me whine and put up with my negativity. I feel really silly.
