Thurs Nov 1- Thankful for Matt's job
**His job is not in my ideal location, however, he has much better hours and seems to be really enjoying it! His boss has been flexible when Matt needed time off for Caylee's birthday weekend and they have been able to switch weekends with each other. He gets home in time for Caylee to see him before bed- sometimes with enough time to play :) He's off on Sundays! We love this and have really enjoyed going to church as a family for the first time in years!! We've had some great weekends because of his schedule and I'm so thankful for this practice and thankful Matt enjoys doing what he does!
**One client has many exotic animals- this is a Lemur they made Matt get his pic with. He does not work with these animals, but they come to the clinic occassionally. Matt is a large animal/ equine vet :)
Fri Nov 2- Thankful for my salvation
**This kinda goes without saying, but because my hope is in Jesus I have the confidence of being in heaven one day. I also can't get through my day without my quiet time (I notice a HUGE difference!)... I need and rely on the peace God offers and trust in His plans and timing, since mine seem to have not worked the way I imagined :) I can't imagine going through life without knowing Christ and knowing that He has a purpose for me.
Sat Nov 3- Thankful for my sister's engagement!
**Praying she and Nick will have a strong foundation in Christ for their marriage and that this next year (while it will be a whirlwind) will be so fun and wonderful!
Sun Nov 4- Thankful for Calvary Evangelical Church
**Matt and I have searched EVERYWHERE for a good church up here. This entire environment is just so not what we're used to. However, it seems that we may have finally found a good church. Even if we don't stay here forever, it's been great to hear Pastor Clark these past few weeks- he's really passionate about the Lord and the people of the church, that definitely comes out in his sermons.
Mon Nov 5- Thankful for my new heater
**Matt knows I freeze. Every part of my body hurts when it's cold! It's like I have no circulation in my feet and hands! But having a heater is hard with a child. They often get too hot. But Matt found one and on the box showed a picture of a kid laying on it!! Perfect! Caylee and I love being warmer now and since this morning was a chilly 24 degrees, we really needed it!!
**This is a group of ladies, very similar to a MOPS group if you know that, and it stands for "Mothers Uplifting Mothers". They have been really nice to me and hopefully I can begin to make mroe friends through it! So thankful that the church hosts a program like this!
Wed Nov 7- Thankful Caylee can play by herself some
**Caylee is SUCH a good girl most days. On days that I'm not feeling 100% it's really nice that she can play with her toys herself. She's so funny to watch and finds many ways to entertain herself!
**Playing with her cups, and yes, a spatula in the background!
Thurs Nov 8- Thankful for only needing 1 glucose test!
**Being pregnant means that at around 28 weeks you have to do a glucose test. They give you 10 oz of an orange drink that you have to finish in 5 minutes. For most people this isn't a problem. However, I rarely drink anything but water- even when I'm not pregnant- sweet drinks are just not my thing! So getting this SUPER sweet orange (yuck) drink down makes me gag! I hate it, but I'm glad I pass the test and don't have to re-do it!! The receptionist told me when she had her daughter many years ago they had her eat a candy bar.... that I could DEFINITELY do... candy and chocolate sweets are my downfall, but drinks- no thanks.
So there is week 1 of Thankfulness! They are silly, but the point is to be specific and not generic, so I'm trying :)
