I usually don’t participate in too many memes. I think they are a super idea and are definitely great for blog writing prompts. I just don’t usually do them, but I LOVE reading other people’s. Especially Thankful Thursdays, which I decided to participate in today.
So here is what I am thankful for today, Thursday, June 17…
1. My marriage. Tomorrow Cort and I celebrate five years of marriage. I could not have been blessed with a more perfect life partner. He is the sane to my crazy, the rational to my irrational, and the cracker for my cheese. He is the best.
2. My wee one. Eddie makes me laugh on a daily basis. Last night I was rocking him before bed and I buried my face in his little wispy hair and told God that this was enough. I didn’t care about my job. I cared about my family. Whatever was in the plan was fine, just let me always have THIS.
3. My job. Ok, so turns out I DO care about my job. I LOVE my job (but my family really comes first)! And today I got the best phone call I could have possibly gotten…I am OFF the pink slip list! OFF! That means my position is SAFE for next year. I will be teaching Spanish full-time, but I am TOTALLY ok with that…I have some big, awesome plans for it. I am so very thankful for that call today!
4. All of you. ALL OF YOU. Each one of you whether you comment here, you email me, you hit me up on facebook, or you just silently say a little prayer and never tell me you do…we love you and are so thankful to you. This blog is my therapy…my way of writing out what is going on with us whether it’s happy or sad. but you, who come back over and over, are the reason I KEEP doing it. Thank you so much for all your words of encouragement and for just BEING THERE for us. You rock.
5. And finally, I am thankful for all my new e-friends out there–all you mommas who are doing what you do and rocking it out even though stuff hits the fan occasionally (or more than occasionally). Today I was given an award by Kimberly of All Work and No Play Makes Mommy Go Something Something. She is one of the toughest bee-otches out there and I have nothing but love and respect for her. I was pretty honored that she thought of me…so here it is….

Great post! And congrats on 5 years of marriage!
congrats on five years! yay!
Also, no pink slip?! That is GREAT news. What a big relief. You deserve to celebrate with your man tommorrow! Big plans?
Happy Anniversary you guys. I love what you wrote about your husband because that's how I feel about mine too. We'll be hitting 5 too in September.
I'm soo very glad to hear that you're off the pink slip list! Hallelujah!
Oh from one canon user to another…isn't awesome to use our cameras? ๐ Well mine is a rebel xti but still it's so much better than point & shoot!
And thank you for the award, I'm so stoked! Really, I'm so surprised! Wish I can give you a hug right now ๐
