1. Annslie's love for music. I don't know anyone else who loves music like my Annslie Rain. I am always amazed by how much she reminds me of myself. My first born, my sidekick, my heart and soul.
2. Madilyn's never ending curiosity about the Bible and God. I don't have all the answers for her now, but I hope she and I can learn together. She is such an incredible, witty, and smart little girl who is eager to discover new things. She is going to be something spectacular someday.
3. Wyatt's new dance moves. As soon as he got home today, he pressed play, turned up the volume, and did his thang all over the house.
4. Baseball hats to hide messy hair.
5. Sunshine. Sweet, sweet, glorious sunshine. We had a sneak peek of Spring today.
6. The roof that kept us warm on the coldest day of our lives last week.
7. Best friends who I can go months without seeing, yet pick right back up with as soon as we are together again. The memories we share will forever be cherished, and the memories our children will share together someday, will surely give us all gray hair!
8. New friends who already "get" me -- and old friends who I have reconnected with...can't imagine my life without them.
9. A husband who can truly fix anything. (Like anything) A husband who puts everyone's needs/wants above his own. A husband that does things for people who will never even know he was the one who did them. I never worry because I KNOW we are taken care of. That's such a blessing.
10. Starbucks gift cards.
11. Co-workers and bosses who are like a second family.
12. Allison's infinite I love you's. Hearing those words from her, along with the one thousand and one hugs she gives when she's here, confirms that I am doing something right. We often question our parenting skills with our own children, but that insecurity is majorly magnified when it's your step-children. You just want to be loved and accepted by them, and Allison never fails to let me know I'm doin' alright. I love her.
13. Keith Urban's new CD.
14. "Me" days like I had today. Doing nothing of much importance. The kids were gone and Robby was at work. I do love these days, but I am always more than ready for my people to come back home.
15. My parents and siblings...aka the coolest people on Earth, to my kids.
16. Happy Chances. xoxo
What are you thankful for today?
