30 Days of Thankfulness, Part 2

It's been 6 days since my last post, so, here we go:

1. I'm thankful that I have the best husband in the entire world. I could make a list of all the reasons he's the most incredible husband ever, but you would never finish reading this. All I know is that I could never be married to anyone else, and if I never believed that God sometimes handpicks people to love each other and live together for the rest of their lives, I do now.

2. I'm thankful for my friend, Sara V, for not only sharing her gratefulness during the month of November, but every day this year. That's right. Starting on January 1, Sara expressed love and appreciation for her blessings each day of the year. She has offered important (and usually comical, in true Sara "Betty Sue" V fashion) reminders of how much there is to thank God for, no matter how small.

3. I'm thankful that I'm not in my third trimester during the hottest months of the year, again.

4. I'm thankful for silence. Sometimes, I just need to be quiet by myself or I will lose my mind. And for that reason...

5. I'm thankful that both my children are good sleepers and receptive to schedules and routines. Because, well, Mommy can't function without schedules and routines and, more importantly, a brief period of quiet time every day. And, if Baby N is not as receptive to the whole schedule/routine/quiet time thing as his brother and sister, Mommy will be thankful for her new job at Barnes and Noble until the new school year begins. (Because, what else can you do with two degrees in English/Reading education?)

6. I'm thankful for coffee. This one needs no further explanation.
