Thankful Thursday

(For an explanation of Thankful Thursday, go here).

1391) Kyle's egg scrambles. Always SO good!!

1392) Listening to Julie process - I love how articulate she is and how well she is able to express herself.

1393) Game weekend - time with the family I have chosen and the family I have not chosen (though I would choose them in a heartbeat if given the choice!). Love every. single. one of them.

1394) Guest appearance by Linda Day. Love that she is like a 4th sister to us.

1395) Being excited for Hannah.

1396) Ang's hospitality - love how we are all so comfortable in her home.

1397) Laying on the bed reading Jimmy Fallon's Thank You Notes with Hannah and laughing until we cried.

1398) Fire in the backyard - doing highs & lows from the week. Have I mentioned lately how much I love these people?!?!?!

1399) Long naps on the couch with a cute little poodle curled up on my chest.

1400) Penny's bark - pretty sure I'll get annoyed that Mom trained her to bark when she wants to be picked up, but right now I think it's pretty cute.

1401) Bjorn & Aly's Pannekoeken. YUMMY!

1402) Hannah sitting over my legs while I lay on the couch watching football. I love football and I love cuddling. Lovely afternoon.

1403) Talking to Grandpa every Sunday. Should have started that routine 10 years ago. I. Love. That. Man.

1404) Laughing with my mom over Penny's new barking habits. Love the sound of her laugh.

1405) A quiet, productive evening at home. Thankful for feeling rested and ready for a busy week.

1407) Feeling productive and knowledgeable at work.

1408) A call from Rachel just to catch up.

1409) A sweet card from my roommie. Love her photography on the card. Love getting real mail. Love her kind words.

1410) A 5-year Mayo anniversary card from Shannon. Can't believe she remembers every year. Love it.

1411) Time to spend in the Word before I go to work.

1412) Having floor nurses ask if I will come be a staff nurse on their floor - and knowing they're serious.

1413) Hearing the charge nurse say she was relieved when staffing gave her my name.

1414) He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and blameless before him.

1415) Being IN HIM - in him we have redemption through his blood....in him we have obtained an inheritance...in him we have been sealed with the promised Holy Spirit.

1416) Being able to use trials I have walked through to help support other friends.

1417) Jamie moved in! Thankful that I am genuinely excited for this new season.

1418) Hearing the laughter of my friends in my house.

1419) Tea with Kristy before going to work - so encouraging to talk with her.

1420) Sharing my home again - so thankful God provided such an amazing living situation for these past two years and so thankful I can trust that He can do it again.
