do you ever...

Do you ever step back, look at your life, and think...wow...I have everything I ever wanted, plus more?  I'm having one of those days. :)

I'm thankful for our new garage (that just needs a little more trim and paint and garage doors before completion), my husband's excitement about his new gym area in the garage, Adrian's giggling when we play ball, the fact I don't have to work full time anymore and that there's always homemade dessert in our house.

What are you thankful for today?

  • I am thankful that Hannah has been sleeping in her swing for the last 45 mins allowing me to eat dinner, pay bills and get on the nest!

  • Cool post!!  I definitely have those moments where I'm feeling extra lucky to have 2 healthy, beautiful kids and my husband.  While we're not in the house I always imagined, it's in a really cool little city and I'm very, very lucky.  I'm also feeling really lucky that our kids get to hang out w/ all 4 grandparents - I never met my mom's father, and DH never met either of his dad's parents.  I'm also thankful (trying to see the bright side) of getting let go from my job and just soaking up all the time I have w/ my kids.

  • We just bought a house (moved in 2 weeks ago) so it's still surreal to me. I look around like "Wow, we've done it all" lol. Wedding, baby, house.

    But most of all I'm thankful Riley slept until 8 today. She has been waking at 6 since the move so we went and got blackout curtains and they worked like a charm!

  • Definitely. With Caroline I have more and more of these moments. We were laying on the hammock yesterday and I told her,  "We are very very blessed kiddo." She smiled and did her little Popeye squinty grin :)
  • Great idea! 

    I am very thankful for an awesome family who has been amazing since we've gotten back to Maine, amazing finds at the farmer's market, fresh baked bread, getting prepared to meet Sprinkles and a ridiculously smart husband who's finagled being up here with me for the whole summer.

  • Every day. I can't help but think the past 18 months has been one big blessing From moving, Abby, new house, new job, and all the little things inbetween. I am truly truly blessed. I sincerely hope my good fortune doesn't run out - my life has always been a bit of a roller coaster like that. So yes, every day ... :-) great post Jackie!
