Thankful Thursday: Jan 7th 2010

Thought: If I type "2010" more often, I will be more convinced of its reality.

So it will be added to my Thankful Thursday date title.

So there.

It's Thankful Thursday, friends.

How has the first week of 2010 treated you?

What's on your thankful list?

I've got a lovely, fluttery list to share:

I am thankful for the extended vacation that I am enjoying with my family in TN

-Thankful for the extra toddler help from Mom, Dad, & Spencer

-Thankful for the mind-relaxing spirit of vacation

I am thankful for a most amazing husband

-Who changed 99.99% of all of the diapers during the first leg of our vacation

-Who brought me breakfast in bed most of those mornings

-Who buckled in the carseat at 4:30am, just so I wouldn't be rushed on my way to church

*As a side note, I am thankful that my current home is surrounded by mounds of snow, allowing me to bypass all of the disappointment felt by all of the hopeful Middle Tennesseans who were promised 1-3 inches this morning! (And many out of school for nothing!)
