I really am 'Thankful' I promise..

I know that it's been a while since my last 'thank you' post but that doesn't mean that I'm not thankful, just busy and thankful for down time.

I sure am thankful for....
the perfect job with the perfect hours that just worked out perfectly over the summer with great co-workers. (I know it's a run-on sentence)

my parents. I really do have the best parents! Sorry, yours are all second to mine. They always help me when I need it and are pretty dang supportive.

school....I way excited that I will have a career some day where I will be able to really be challenged and help people in all aspects of life.

jeremy's opportunity to go to school. For those of you that don't know my hubby will be starting school in a few weeks with me. I'm very thankful for his motivation to go and work hard...he's the best.

time spent with my husband. We finally had a weekend off so we went to Ikea, Target, Ross, etc looking for a few things for the house. Tonight we hit up a couple of the Ross stores and had dinner. We really had a blast and the spirit has been with us. What a great thing.

our new furniture. We traded furniture with our in-laws and we love the new to us used stuff.

cars that work....need I say more.

The Spirit....Heavenly father has given us such a wonderful gift and it is so wonderful when we take the time to use this gift.

new friends. we've or should I say I've finally started to make more friends. We we invited over to our home teachers house on Sunday. It's so funny because that small act of kindness meant so much to us and we had such a good time.

blogging....i love to read everyone's blogs. I can keep up to date.

my doctor...the last time I went to the doctor I had a really negative experience with him. I chose not to go back to him and went to a female doctor. I LOVE her. She's throuogh, strait forward and has a good bedside manner.

So I don't want to be to thankful and outdo myself...this is enough for now!

Today I'm grateful for....

* Good friends and understanding new friends.
* For a husband that tries to magnify his calling
* For the opportunity to share the gospel at work yesterday
* For the T.V. show "so you think you can dance" I LOVE IT!

How this is going to work and what is the purpose of starting this new blog...

Well, I'm sure many of you (you; including my lovely husband)are wondering why I needed another blog. You see the explanation is simple. We have a 'family blog' which really isn't a family blog because Jeremy has only posted like two things. BUT, I've been doing a lot of thinking....yes, thinking-and there was smoke. I need to be more thankful. We've had a lot of trials as of late and I know that Heavenly Father thinks it's funny. Okay not really funny, but I know that I'm supposed to be learning, growing and gaining something from each one of them. These trails can be big or small. Anything like having to put out a gajillion (spelling..not sure on that one)dollars out on cars to having to deal with everyday life...work life, married life...etc. So, I thought in an effort to figure out what these 'things' are I would make sure that I write good things that happened during the day down. Besides, I know that be thankful allows me to have the Spirit with me a little stronger and I could always use that!

So there ya have it!! The first I'm grateful for the day is.......wait for it.....wait for it.....
I'm grateful to have internet abilities so that I can share these wonderful things with my friends and family. How great is that!!! SO GREAT!
