Thirty days of thanks

The last few years on Facebook people have done 30 days of thanks and they post something that they are thankful for every day. While I do like that idea, I've decided to add onto this post every single day and I will publish it at the end of the month so that way I can keep it on record.

1: I am thankful for fall. Yesterday we had a great time on Halloween spending time together and after our crazy summers I look forward to the fall so much so I can spend more time with my family.

2: I am thankful for beautiful Texas weather. We spent a lot of time outside today and it is just refreshing to get out in the sunshine. 

3: I am thankful for the things my son is learning at church. He just started saying amen and during somebody's testimony today he yelled out "amen" a total of four times before the guy was done. It was pretty funny but I do appreciate that he is understanding prayers and testimonies now. 

4: I am thankful for airplanes. Peter left on a recruiting trip today which I hate but it is nice that he can get from here all the way to Salt Lake City in a matter of a few hours. Even more so, I love when people can come visit us are when we can go visit family thinks to modern-day travel. 

5: I am thankful for my dishwasher. We just got it fixed after having a really hard time with it since we have been in our house and it is so nice to have working appliances. I could not imagine having to wash my dishes by hand all the time.

6: I am thankful for a good night's sleep. Yesterday Weston was up a couple times and then up for the day at five in the morning and this pregnant lady needs her sleep. Last night, he slept 12 hours and took a decent nap today and I feel like a completely different person. I have had pretty bad insomnia this entire pregnancy so even getting a few hours of uninterrupted sleep feels amazing at this point. 

7: I am thankful for doctors. Weston has to get hernia surgery in a couple weeks and I had my biweekly visit today with my doctor. We literally put our lives in their hands and I'm glad that we have some wonderful doctors that we trust. 

8: I am thankful for good hair days. 

9: I am grateful that Peter came home today. He helps me so much around the house and with Weston and I just enjoy being near him. 

10: I am thankful for the primary program today which had a theme of "I am a child of God". Sometimes the most simple messages are the most touching. 

11: Today is vereran's day and I am so thankful for the men and women who have and do serve our country. I have a wonderful life thanks to those who have fought to defend our freedoms. 

12: I am thankful for relief society. I truly enjoy being around such wonderful sisters. 

13: I am thankful for healthy meals. I really feel so much better when I eat well.

14: I am thankful for my awesome book club. I have read books that I otherwise wouldn't have and I love talking to the ladies about all kinds of different topics. 

15: I am thankful for Weston's laid back personality. It makes my life so much easier. 

16: i am thankful for good friends. We had our friends giving dinner tonight and we celebrated friendship with a few of our closest friends. We really are blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives. 

17: I am thankful for crafting. I don't do it often and I am not the best at it but when I do, I feel really accomplished. 

18: I'm thankful for a washer and dryer. 

19: I  grateful for good food. I love food and I honestly believe that Heavenly Father put yummy food on this earth for us to enjoy. 

20: I am grateful to be pregnant. I wasn't feeling that great today but I remember what it felt like when all I wanted was to carry a baby and now I am. I have had it pretty easy this time around and I am just grateful that I have an opportunity to have another child. 

21: I am thankful for priesthood blessings. Weston goes in for his hernia surgery tomorrow and Peter was able to give him a blessing tonight that helped me probably more than anything. The priesthood is a real power and I'm blessed to have it in my home. 

22: today I am grateful that Weston's surgery went well.

23: I am grateful for warm, comfy clothes and a lazy Saturday with my family. 

24: tonight I'm grateful for my home. I love my house and I'm glad it's a safe haven for me and my family. 

25: I am grateful for date night. My wonderful parents watched Weston so we could do dinner and a movie. We haven't been out on a date in forever! I love my husband and I'm glad that after 7.5 years of marriage, we can still laugh and talk together just like we did when we were dating. 

26: I'm thankful for my job. I dont love going into the office but I'm grateful that it pays the bills. 

27: I am thankful for my parents and brothers. They are so welcoming and love Weston so much. He loves spending time with them and I love watching him with them. 

28: I am thankful to be pregnant again. It was such a struggle with Weston and I feel so blessed to be having another baby soon. 

29: I am so so thankful for my little Weston. He's the joy of my life and I had no idea what I was missing until he came along. He's my little buddy and I love him so much. 

30: I saved the best for last and I'm thankful for my sweet husband. He's a hard worker, a great dad, and a wonderful husband. He strengthens me and makes me feel like the best version of myself. He's the peanut butter to my jelly and I'm one lucky girl to have him.
