Thankful Thursday

Alright everyone, time to show a little gratitude and say what you're thankful for today.

I'm thankful I've been having so much fun lately, even if I do get overwhelmed with it sometimes! I don't think I've had a quiet night at home with JUST DH in 2+ weeks. I am thankful that I can lock myself at home for ALL of next week when he returns. I love living in Chicago and never take it for granted.

I'm thankful DH's sweet friend used his miles to bring him to California for the weekend. He so deserves a break.

I'm thankful I'm going to a store event tonight that has free champagne and I am going to let myself do a little buzzed shopping. :)

 I'm thankful it's raining outside... I'm so emo. Stick out tongue

Re: Thankful Thursday

  • I am thankful that my H has finally verbally recognized/thanked me for all the work I've been doing to help while he's in school.  I'm thankful that we may not have everything we want, but we do have everything we need. 
  • Good idea!

    I'm thankful I finally got a promotion so I won't have to travel so much!

    I'm thankful that we don't have any plans this weekend, so I can just veg. 

  • I'm thankful that an offer for the hubs is around the corner (fingers crossed!). He just completed a background check and it was completed yesterday, so hoping for a phone call tomorrow or Monday with some good news!

  • I'm thankful for my DH and his patience with our crazy busy schedules. Getting to crawl into bed with him every night is the BEST feeling I could imagine.

    I'm thankful for the chance to get such a great education and that my boss is paying for my MBA. (this one I need to say 50 times, because right now school is just plain hard and sucking my life away)

  • I'm thankful I haven't gotten sick (yet). I really didn't think I'd make it through this week.

    I'm thankful to be coming to Chicago for T-day and Xmas and getting to see friends!

    I'm thankful to be starting a new boot camp 3 nights a week that is pricey...but DH didn't fight me on it at all!

    I'm thankful I get to sleep in with DH on Saturday as puppy will be staying over-night at the vet after getting spade tomorrow (bitter sweet, ya know).

    I'm thankful for a lot! :)

     

  • I am thankful for my new husband, who is working very hard to make this birthday special for me

    Thankful that the stress of wedding planning is behind me, AND that I get to watch my sister plan her wedding now!  All the perks of helping her plan without all the mother and mother-in-law phone calls :)

    Thankful for the pretty fall trees, I LOVE october!

  • I am thankful that I am not working right now and thus am home all day long to care for my very ill dog. We thought he was doing better, but definitely took a turn for the worse a few days ago. I am a mess, but at least I know that I am here for him and hes not alone all day.

    Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that Sarah! I hope he gets better, and I'm sure it's reassuring being home with him.

  • Thanks Erin. He is terminal unfortunately, so really its about managing any symptoms and quality of life. =(
  • So sorry to hear your dog took a turn, Sarah!  I'm glad you at least get to spend lots of quality time with him now.

     I'm thankful that my old friend at work thought of me when a position opened at his firm and asked for my resume today!  I'll be even more thankful if he can manage to get me a job  Smile  I'm also thankful for an amazing husband and for our road trip to Minneapolis this weekend!

  • I am thankful for our newly adopted furbaby, my first pet.  I cannot wait to spend the weekend with her and DH.  On that note, any great vet recs in Lakeview/Wrigleyville?

  • Sarah, I'm so sorry about your dog, how sad :(  I'm glad you can hang out and love him.

    I'm thankful to have my loving husband in my arms, that we are both happy (and if not, then at least understanding) and healthy and employed. 

  • Sarah, I'm so sorry about your dog. :(  I had my dog for 18 years (!) and I still miss him every day.  I am so glad you're able to be there to spend time with your dog right now and help him.

     I am thankful for a lot of things in my life, but this week I'm really thankful for my work friends.  They are an excellent source of support and I really enjoy how we teach eachother and support one another.  Last night one of my co-workers and I had a long dinner and it was extremely good for the soul to talk a lot of things out that have been stressing me out lately.  I am very thankful for a good ear.

     I am thankful for my health and my family as well.  Many, many prayers for Marta tonight!

  • In light of what has happened....I am so thankful for everyone in my life. My family, my friends, and my husband. I love the people in my life, and I'm lucky to have what I have.
