What I am thankful for!

Since we are halfway through the month I figured this would be a great time to update my thankful statuses that I have been posting on facebook. I hope to remember to keep this attitude of gratitude all year long!

15 - Tonight I am going to have a craft night while the UK game is on. Bring on the rain so that I can feel even better about being inside cuddled up in my comfy clothes! Thankful for laid back nights at the Day household before our family life changes and we add an extra little man to the group :)

14 - So very thankful for the communication Chris Day and I have in our marriage. With all the emotions of pregnancy he always has a listening ear for all the little things and even some big things, sometimes to help me with my perspective, to vent right along with me, and other times just to listen. For that I don't think I could be more grateful!

13 - Thankful for our wonderful 1st grade class we teach at CLC and how much they teach us when we are supposed to be teaching them. What a great reminder this week to have an attitude of gratitude that we learned about yesterday!

12 - Thankful for my wonderful mother in law, Shelly, and the relationship God has blessed us with. She is simply amazing!

11 - "Today (and everyday) I Thank those that have sacrificed so much - their health, their time, their lives. "Duty, Honor, and Country" are three selfless, important words. It may be difficult to be a military spouse or parent, but I can't imagine anything to make one more proud." THANK YOU to those that have and are served - and to the families that wait for them. May we remember the sacrifice they ALL make!

10 - Thankful that my God is a healer! I have witnessed it many times & He isn't done yet, either. Praying for all of those who need to be touched by His healing tonight. May you find comfort in the great physician - creator & master of our bodies!

9 - Thankful for our sweet dog Ellie. I am grateful for the joy she brings our family (and friends!) and I know she will make the BEST big sister. Love that girl so much!

8 - Thankful for the friendships I have made through my job or volunteering. My fabulous coworkers, our wonderful Diplomats, Women's Council, MYP, etc. You want to create some lasting relationships with good people? Volunteer!

7 - Thankful for laughter & the people in my life that make me laugh every day
Thankful for church family. The one we have now at Christian Life Church & the one I grew up with at Believer's Chapel. I have learned so much from both!

Day 5 - thankful for time with my mom today & then time with the fam. Loved every minute of it - even changing Silas' diaper. Gotta get used to all of that again!

4 - Thankful for a healthy baby boy & a great dr appt. This pregnancy has been so wonderful & I'm very thankful that Chris has been with me at every appointment. Oh & did I mention I love my dr, too? She is ah-mazing.

3 - Today I am thankful for the sweet gift God has given us with Finley. The support from we've received from our family & friends, the closeness it has brought our marriage, & the strength carrying him is bringing me to help me realize what my body is capable of doing. What a mighty God we serve!

2- Very thankful for friends who come over to my house & into my kitchen like they live here because they are that comfortable.

1- I am thankful for a very thoughtful husband who challenges me to be without knowing it
