I feel very blessed right now and realized that I usually think about the things in my life that bother me. It’s time to focus on what I’m thankful for. So here are the things I feel thankful for today:
- An amazing husband. I can’t take him for granted because I know what it’s like to wonder if the right guy will ever come along. (He did.)
- A loving son. Rhys is so happy and loving. He makes everything in my life better.
- Our own washer and dryer. Seriously. Using the laundry facilities in the dorms at UT Austin has helped me realize how spoiled we are.
- Family! Some of my family is going to be driving for many hours tomorrow to come and see us. We are so excited.
- The fact that God is taking care of us financially. We had some setbacks recently, but I know we’re in good hands.
- Living for a month in downtown Austin. I love taking Rhys for walks on campus and being so close to everything.
And that’s it for today. I’m going to try and pay more attention to the many wonderful things in my life and will report back. 
i like that picture of the three of you. very cute. those are some great things to be thankful for. oh and i wish i had my own washer and dryer.
Yeah, I agree about the washer and dryer! We just have a building laundry room and I’m dreading having to go down there all the time to do baby laundry. You have a good list of things to be thankful about. I should do this more often too.
Oh, and that is a cute picture of you, John, and Rhys. Where is it? It looks like a cool place.
Come on back, come on back, I didn’t mean to dump on you. I’m sure things will work out! haha, this post just reminded me of Wayne’s World. But I totally agree about focusing on our blessings instead of what we don’t have. It is easy to dwell on all the things we want or don’t have instead. Thanks for the reminder!
I love your idea. We all need to think about the good things in our lives more often. We just walked in the door from our long drive to Texas………..but what a fun trip we had, and it was so fun to see you and john and rhys. We love you so much, and we’re so glad we got to come see you. Maybe one of these first days I’ll copy you and do a thankful blog. Love ya, and so glad we got to be with you for a few days!!!!!
