Thankful Thursday: May 28th

Welcome to Thursday, everybody!

Let's talk about some GOOD THINGS to be thankful for today...

Good thing #1: internet connection in our new apt (wireless connection still pending, please send intelligent vibes our way for when the "tech" comes sometime between 1-3 today)


Good thing #2: our cell phones (it really is amazing that we can talk to whomever we want, whenever we want...whether we are driving through the longest state EVER (I'm talking to you, Illinois) ...or sitting in our empty apartment updating our families...verizon, I love ya!)


Good thing #3: our 2 *older* cars...even without cruise control, they did GREAT on the 11 hr drive!


Good thing #4: our little guy...who was an EXCELLENT travel partner, playing with toys in the backseat and singing along to Enrique with me


Good thing #5: my hot husband, who spent a significant part of the day yesterday deep cleaning the new place (although it was pretty darn clean when we arrived!), and putting together new purchases (vacuum cleaner, stroller, etc)


Good thing #6: using ABF to move all our stuff (upack.com) so we didn't have to drive it, which ALSO gives us a few days to avoid the stress of unloading, unpacking, re-organizing, etc. (thanks to all of you who told us about your good experiences with them!)


Good thing #7: belonging to this Church, so no matter where in the world we go, we will always have a 'family'


Good thing #8: the landscape here in "central Wisconsin" is gorgeous...hilly, lush green, lakes, rivers...very similar to our Tennessee/Kentucky homes


Good thing #9: Baby J has been sleeping through the night, even with the craziness of the moving and lack of crib


Good thing #10: Knowing that all of these good things are just the beginning of our newest adventure...and that all of them are blessings from Above.
