Grains of Gratitude

I definitely need to take the time to think about things that I am grateful. After a crazy week of illness, it helps me to think about the good things!

1. I am thankful that Parker is starting to feel better. (Finally!) I am thankful that Rich and I have both stayed healthy. I am thankful for my sisters and mom who gave me the listening ear and the advice of what to do. This is the first time Parker has been really sick and I am hoping that it will be the last for a LONG time!

2. I am thankful for Southwest DING! I have become a true believer in it. We got $25 tickets each way to Utah in May. I love saving money! We are excited that we are going to get to go up and spend time with friends and family. Plus, the great deal encouraged my parents and friend to come down and visit!

3. I am thankful that I can learn lessons about what I want in a house while I am in an apartment. Here are some of the things that we have learned. First, carpet under high chairs is not a good combo. (Parker thinks it is funny to pick up his food and throw it on the ground.) Secondly, I have learned that you need to make sure that lights are included in the ceilings. I love light and it is considered to be an extra to have lights put in many rooms down here. Third, make sure to have lots of storage space in a house! I know that there are many more things to learn!

4. I am thankful for my warranty on my couches! I love that I can get my couches cleaned for free for 7 years. I learned to appreciate that so much more this weekend!

5. I am thankful for my wonderful husband and family. They are wonderful!

What are you thankful for?
