Thankful, Week 1

WOW! This week just flashed by! I did have every good intention of writing something every day, but, to be honest, between work, kids, home and everything they all require...WHEW! One tired momma by the end of the day. SO! I am going to give my list of things I am thankful for this last week, and HOPEFULLY (no promises) I will try to post once a day this following week.

Ok, so 1st-

I am thankful for my husband. This may seem like a gimme, but this man has been the biggest blessing I have ever been given. He is a fantastic partner in life, he evens out all my craziness, and I can not stay upset with him. I think God knew I could never live with someone like myself, so He gave me Zach, who is my opposite is almost every way. It is actually pretty amazing, as the years go by, I seem to become more and more like him. Which means I am basically a nicer, more graceful person. So my number 1 thing to be thankful for is my wonderful husband of almost 7 years, Zach.

Nov. 2 (Wednesday)

I am thankful for my son, Bishop. Once upon a time, I asked God to give me patience, and I got Bishop, who teaches me everyday to be more patient then I ever thought possible. But past that, Bishop is the sweetest little boy who has learned to charm his way out of trouble, just like his father...And beyond that, he is just so darn cute ALL the time. I love my little boy, who I gave up on ever having, and was blessed to be given.

Nov. 3 (Thursday)

I am thankful for my daughter, Cadence. Ok...yeah, I get that I am just listing off my family here, but I am SO thankful to have them that I feel like they should get their own days. So today I am thankful to have my beautiful, perfect little girl. And yes, she is the easiest, best little baby I have ever had, which is something in itself to be thankful for. She is so happy, and is such a funny little thing. It makes me so sad that she is growing up so fast, and I often feel like this last year has just disappeared with her. I was worried that I could never love another baby as much as I do Bishop, but as a mommy, it's like your heart just gets bigger to hold more. Ah...so sappy.

Nov. 4 (Friday)

Today, I am thankful for heat. Yes, that's right, heat. It is DARN cold outside, AND windy, and it sure makes me glad that we have a furnace that keeps our house nice and warm. So nice, in fact, that Bishop loves to sit in front of one of the places the air blows out of by the dining room table. He thinks the air coming out is just so cool. Ahem. So warm.

Nov. 5 (TODAY!)

I am thankful for days off with family. Today we just hung out, got some housework and laundry done. Bishop and I took a nap together (LOVE), Bishop and Zach hung out together outside, doing that mysterious thing that boys do together. Cadence chased a balloon around the living. I read. I think you get the wonder of the day. We went to Home Depot, and the kids got to ride in the 'car' cart together, which is just hilarious, especially when Bishop get's upset if Cadence isn't steering right. Love my little family. We had a lady in the parking lot, as we were going out to the car, say, "Oh, a boy and a girl...how perfect!" And I thought...well...it just happened that way. I think 2 boys would be just as perfect. Or 2 girls...I am just really happy that Bishop loves his little sister so much. And she thinks he's the greatest ever. And days like today make most everything we do worth it.
