Catch Up

Ok, I have some catching up to do on my Thankful Posts...here goes.

Nov 7 - I am thankful that Tony Bennett lost the election.  Along with all of the other teachers in the state of Indiana :)

Nov 8 - I am thankful for my little cousin, Kady, whose birthday was November 8.  I was there when she was born!  Crazy to think that moment was 10 years ago.

Nov 9 - I am thankful for Fridays...need I say more?

Nov 10 - I am thankful that I have the opportunity to be a Group Exercise Instructor - I passed my class today and am OFFICIALLY a CERTIFIED Group Ex Instructor!  I am so excited about the possibilities this opens for me to do at the YMCA now.  I never thought that I would EVER be a fitness instructor...ever!  I realized today that if I had gotten that full time teaching job I was hoping and dreaming and praying for this summer, I probably would not have gotten this certification today and I would have missed out on a lot of blessings my job at the Y has brought me.

Nov 6

I am thankful that the elections are over...I hate political ads, with a slight passion.  They're just mean, hateful, bash fests. 

I am also thankful that I got to spend some time with my beloved Mamaw today :) We went to lunch and then this cute little place called Nanny's Treasure Chest where I found some awesome treasures for the boyfriend.  I can't wait til Christmas now!  Only 49 days away, by the way...

Nov 5 Thankfulness

I am thankful for having a day off tomorrow, even though today was only Monday.  I am staying up, watching "You've Got Mail" and sleeping in tomorrow morning!  Simple, but too often I am not thankful for the little things in life.

Thankful

I miss my blog, I really do.  I have had so many great intentions of writing lately...and they've all fallen through, obviously.  Life has been crazy, to say the least.  I am doing everything I can to stay busy, and it's working.  I am constantly on the go.  But that is just how I am, and I'm okay with it.  There are days when I need to just sit and chill (those are generally days when I am blessed to get to spend time with the boyfriend).  

I've seen on Facebook a lot of people doing this daily thankful for...post.  Well, I decided that is my motivation to write this month at least!  I have a few days to catch up on, but that's okay.  Here goes.

#1 - I am thankful that God loves me no matter what.  Period.  End of story.  It is overwhelming and I have just started crying while thinking about this several times recently because we humans are so undeserving of His love and mercy, yet He gives it to us freely, no matter what.

#2 - I am thankful for my mom.  We can have a lot of fun together, not matter mother-daughter duos can say that.

#3 - I am thankful for my jobs at SES and the YMCA.  Things don't always go how I want them to and they both have their own sets of frustrations, but I see them both as opportunities from God and I am thankful for that.

#4 - I am thankful for my boy :) He just let about 40 minutes ago to head back home.  We went to a Colt's game today with my dad and Pam, and we had a blast.  He was only here for 27 hours, that's it.  I was so sad when he was starting to pack his stuff up.  I looked at him and said, "I miss you already and you're not even gone yet..." and he hugged me even tighter and said, "Don't be sad.  I'm right here.  We're together!  We're getting married one day!  We should be happy right now because we're together."  Enough said.
