I know I know I am a few months off according to my title but I have just had a lot on my mind lately and I sit here a lot and thinking about all that I am blessed with. I know I grew up with a wonderful childhood, even though my parents were divorced my sister and I still had a superb childhood. Was it always perfect? No but we had more then we could have ever needed and all the love and support that anyone could ask for, and we have our mom and dad to thank for that! But as I have sat here these last few months I have realized how lucky I am as an adult now. I met the man who is now my husband at the early age of 20. I never dated much in middle school or high school so in my mind I always feared that I would never get married or I would not get married until a later age, but this was not the case. I think we fell in love instantly, haha, and we have now been married for 2 years and almost 6 months. AND on top of that we will be blessed with our first child in late November! I honestly could not ask for more. Has it always been easy, not by any means. One of our hardest times was when we had to live on very little money as I finished college, sometimes that took us digging food from the pantry that we didn't even know we had (don't worry it wasn't expired) to be able to eat and not have to spend money. Sometimes that took us staying in on the weekend instead of going out with friends, sometimes that meant that my husband had to work on Saturday, but we made it and we are that much stronger because of it. I am so blessed that my husband is so calm. No matter what kind of bind we were in he always always always found something positive in it when I on the other hand was probably sitting in the bedroom crying, haha.
I think about how blessed I am that we both have wonderful jobs. I work my dream job as a teacher and could not have asked for a better position/school/group of people to work with. I am so thankful that we both have jobs, especially in this economy. Don't get me wrong there are days when we both come home and can't wait to forget everything that has gone on that day, but in the end we have to remind ourselves that it really could be worse and we need to be thankful that we can wake up the next day and have a job and a steady paycheck.
I think I could go on and on but these are only a few things that I am so VERY thankful for. What are you thankful for???
