Post 20: For not keeping secrets

So last night we were finally able to tell both set of parents that we are expecting another little bundle of joy. I am so thankful that my husband isn't a stickler for keeping secrets because I couldn't take it any longer! So today I am thankful for finally being able to talk to anyone about it and not worry I might slip up and reveal the big secret to my family before the announcement photos were done. Thankful for technology and the ability to take photos of the announcement and send it the very same day to family. Thankful that we are once again able to bring another baby to this world. God is good.

Combo Post 18 & 19: Vacation and rest

As we approach the last few weeks of November and get a bit closer to Thanksgiving Day I am thankful for the holiday season and the time I get to spend with family. I love date night and time to talk to my husband but what is really great is talking about what the upcoming year and all the new adventures we will embark on. So thankful for this whole year and the many more to come.

Today Lily got to spend time doing her favorite things. Playing princess dress up with friends and watching Happy Elf and Tangled. I am exhausted but thankful that my daughter had so much fun she took a two hour nap. YAY!

Post 16: take out

Thankful for take out on days like today when I have little to no energy and want nothing but to cuddle up and take a nap, for like 10 hours. Thank you to all those hole in the wall Mexican places I miss from CA and tonight thank you to Osaka for being my go to Japanese tasty goodness.

Post 15: many things

There are so many things that I can think of on a daily basis to be thankful for. I know that on some days I more thankful for just making it through the day and on others I am overwhelmed but all that I have before me. My heart can feel so big that it feels as if it could explode. Today I am most thankful for the love of those who are closest to me. The ones who have stuck it out, took the time and appreciated the process. I am thankful for the ones who have been given to me simply because God saw fit and not because I have done anything to deserve it. I am thankful for old and new friends. I am thankful for the ability to realize the gifts given and that even though I don't always do it right, I show my gratefulness to them every chance I get. Some people in life don't get to experience true love and friendship. I have been blessed to experience time and time again. I don't want to miss out on the joy of that statement and focus on things I don't have. So today to all of you reading this or not. I am giving thanks to God for you. You have made my life so rich.

Post 13: thanks to the bod

This morning, well and many mornings as of late, I woke up being amazed at the human body. I can't believe what we are made of and how we function on a daily basis with little to no thought. Then I thought about how blessed I am to wake up. Listen if you have never taken time to think about how you breath in and out and how you go to sleep and wake with little to no effort than take some time to think. Today I am thankful for my body, for the ability to teach 11 classes in 9 days, to give birth and so much more.
Thank you body. Thank you God for creating this body.
