Courage

Today I'm grateful for....

A fun family weekend, busy, but fun.

Friday Josh and I stayed home and watched movies while Taylor and Calli spent the night with Ciara at Lisa's house. Then Saturday I picked up all the girls and we went shopping, stopped at Starbucks, and had a late lunch together. Then we all met my mom, Lisa and Kyleigh at Easttipp to watch Taylor's musical Saturday night. It was so fun. The whole musical was great, all the kids did a wonderful job, but I am especially proud of Taylor of course. She was brave and sang two solos in the musical without mistakes and was the only one we could actually hear over the band!
Both of my girls are so brave when it comes to singing or performing in front of a crowd! Unbelievable, I can't imagine having that much courage when I was their ages, but kids do amazing things like that every day!

After the musical we all came home, Josh and I made a fire so the girls could roast marshmallows and make smores. It was a great night. Sunday we all got up, I made pancakes and scrambled eggs and then all the running started all over again, dropping girls off, picking Taylor up, and so on, but it was fun. After the running was over Josh and I met up with his cousin Cory and went for a ride on the bikes, it was a beautiful evening to be out.

Today I am also grateful for the chance to exercise my right to vote :) Josh and I both reminded each other to vote before we went about our business today. I got my sticker and wore it proudly.

I am grateful for a chance to possibly help out a friend. My friend's son's dog got hit by a car a couple of days ago, unfortunately he did not make it. His son's dog was a yorki, we happen to have two yorki-poos and only planned on bringing one home from the breeder. We actually have 4 dogs which is a lot to handle especially with our family being so incredibly busy so I offered one of our yorki-poos to him. It will provide some relief to our family, and I know she will be going to a good home with a little boy who will love her and give her a lot more attention than we can afford right now.

Beautiful sunshine on my shoulders while I painted the boat today. My first try at using a spray gun, lots of fun, but I got paint every where!

oooh I'm really excited about the premade scrapbooks I found at Sam's today. I bought two to take with the girls and I this weekend thinking they could start family scrapbooks together. Now all I have to do is get the pictures printed out and we'll be set.

All the emails from Michelle helping me keep up with what's going on at Womyn's camp this weekend. Donations, recycling, lots of activities, and lots of fun!

Knowing that when Josh gets home from work tonight we will have dinner and then go out on the bike. ---Getting rides in when ever we can :)

My new job allowing me a 40% discount on all the clothes I love to buy, and special weeks when I'll get 55% off!! woo hoo! Even if I don't make money because I'll be spending it all, I'll still be saving money with my discount! ...I also got a second job offer, at The Buckle which made me feel special, I didn't even try for that one, was just picking up some jeans for Josh.

Having the grill set up on the deck right outside the back door making it soooooo easy to throw some veggies and fish, chicken, or pork on for a quick healthy dinner. oooh, and my rice cooker which allows me to cook up brown rice ahead of time and then just heat it up whenever we need a quick easy side.

Knowing that all the money going out right now for various stuff, bills and what have you, will flow right back into our bank accounts easily and effortlessly.

Confidence.

New partners to play golf with!

A sparkling clean bathtub awaiting me right this minute.

Good things are happening for the people I love.

People who dream big and make things happen, including myself :)

you my brave little soul, you.
