Re: Thankful Thursday

  • Me: I am thankful that me & my family are healthy & happy. While we may be going through a rough patch with the hubs & some family members being unemployed, that is really the only rough thing both sides are going through. Sure, we would all like more things ($, cars, vacations, houses), but overall, we are very lucky!

  • We are thankful that my nephew (born 2.5 months premature) turned 1!!!!  He is the happiest little boy on the planet and every time I see him I just have to squish him silly!  He's also almost completely caught up with full term babies his age. 
  • I am thankful for our cleaners who make the house so nice to come home too and for the NYC bagels my husband brought home for me in his suitcase.

  • I'm thankful for a job I love and for getting a raise after only 2 1/2 months on the job. I'm thankful for an amazing family who are behind me 100% of the time -- I miss them not being around! I'm thankful for my husband and puppy who are the lights of my life -- I can't imagine not having our evenings together as a family! I'm thankful for the most amazing wedding almost 4 months ago...it was truly THE perfect day, and our pictures and album are perfect proof of that. I could go on and on!
  • I'm also REALLY thankful for Tide stain-remover pens. That sounds ridiculous, but I've saved myself a lot of grief and dry-cleaning bills since carrying one of those babies everywhere. I use it once daily, guaranteed.
  • I am thankful for my friends and the fact that they are always there when I need them even if they are hundreds of miles away.  I had a great lunch with an old friend this weekend and a great chat with a college friend last night.
  • I am thankful for the vets at the VCA Aurora animal hospital who have been so wonderful to me and my dog, Bailey this week. Bailey was diagnosed with an inoperable bone cancer right after we got back from our honeymoon and it's been a rough couple of weeks to say the least. While he can't be cured we are hoping his treatments this week will slow the process down and give us some more quality time with him. That and the Knot/Nest for being a welcome distraction while I sit out here and wait in the waiting room.

    Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this! Hope Bailey is doing ok!

  • I'm thankful that a really good friend came out last weekend to keep me company while my husband was out of town.

    Not at all!

    I am thankful that we live in Chicago and I always have fun things to do!

    I am thankful I have a job that lets me work from home and is very flexible! 

    I'm thankful for Exercise TV so I don't have to join a gym but can still have fun new workouts every day.

    I am thankful that my DH has a job interview tomorrow and would appreciate any good vibes you ladies can send. Smile

    Thank you so much lmb. We have our fingers crossed, but the effects of the radiation therapy take a week or two to kick in, so we will have a better idea then.

  • I am thankful to have a great family.  I don't know what I would do without having my sister and DH around every day. 

    I am thankful that even though things are rough right now on the job and money front that my life is still so much better than it could be.

    I am thankful for my health.  Watching a friend deal with horrible medical issues at 27 really puts things in perspective.   


    Anniversary
