I am behind on my gratitude blogs :( I have been so busy with us moving next week. Plus we were gone this past weekend. But I need to catch up!

1. I am thankful for my parents. For an early 30th birthday gift they gave me $ to take a long weekend somewhere. So Ty and I went to Vegas Friday thru Monday. It was nice to get away and be able to sleep in since they watched Jayden for us. But we missed our boy!

2. I am grateful that we are moving. I am so happy to have a place for peace and quiet and privacy! I don't mind that we will be renting, I know our own home is in the future but for now I am happy to have a little place to call home for a while!

3. I am thankful for my in laws allowing us to be in their home for the past year. We might not always see eye to eye on things, but they are good people.

4. I am grateful that my husband loves animals as much as I do. It is so nice to be able to agree on our animals and how we treat them. I feel blessed to be able to pass on that love and passion on to Jayden. He loves his cat and dog. He tries to be a little rough at times but we are fortunate to have patient, loving animals who take his love taps.

1. Wednesdays we usually head to my grandma's for a visit. I am so thankful that she is in my life and close enough to visit weekly. I call her daily and since my grandpa has been gone, she has really become attached to Jayden. I feel blessed to have her as a second mom!

2. I am going to say it again, I am grateful for my bestie! Jayden took her flowers to work yesterday for Valentine's day and loved visiting with her. She is do awesome with him! I feel lost if I don't text her throughout the day. She has a piece of my heart always!

3. I am thankful for a warm bed and a heater on this cold night!

4. I am grateful for my struggles for they have made me who I am. I can look in the mirror and be proud of the daughter, wife, mother, friend and woman I have become.

1. I am thankful for my parents. Ty and I were able to have a deep conversation with them yesterday and I am so glad they are still around to help.

2. I am grateful for Denae. She came over after work and spent time with Jayden and I. I love that Jayden gets so excited when he sees her. It is so great that we can spend hours talking and not run out of things to say.

3. I am thankful for our ability to rent a home and move onward and upward in our lives. I am so excited for our move!

4. I am grateful for our moments together as man and wife. After putting Jayden to bed it is nice to just spend time together talking.

5. I am thankful for all who have crossed my path. Whether you have just walked thru or stayed for a while, you have influenced my life and I thank you for that. I do not regret letting anyone in my life for I am the woman I am because of all of my experiences, the good, the bad and the ugly.

1. I am thankful for my brother. At times in my life it has been difficult having an older brother. He was over protective and in high school when we attended together, it was hard to date because he would threaten some of them. But I love my brother so much and I know why he did those things. I am so fortunate to have such an amazing brother and friend for life!

2. I love our family game nights! We have so much fun playing games and using the Wii for dancing games. It is really nice that Jayden is seeing that family is made a priority. I am thankful we have these times together and pray they continue for years to come.

3. I am thankful my parents take Jayden so Ty and I are able to have some time alone. We were able to have a nice Valentines lunch today. We love our son, but it is really nice to have some time to our selves very once in a while.

4. I am grateful that we are going to be able to rent a home and move in a couple weeks. I am going to be so happy to have a place I can decorate and feel like I have free reign of the place.

5. Though money is tight, I am thankful Ty has a job. So many people are out of work and suffering. It might not be the best job, but it is a job!
