Day 15

I am grateful that my husband is concerned about my feelings. He asks me if I am doing ok, since I freaked out about the upcoming hardship tour the other day, and called this morning because he went out with friends last night and wanted to see how my night went and to make sure I felt ok about him being gone. After what we have gone through it is nice to know we have gotten to a good place and that he checks on me.

Day 14 Part 2

I had to post again because it is too important to keep till tomorrow. I am grateful my husband is home and alive. Today is Gary's birthday, he was killed last march when an EKG3 hit their MRAP. My husband suffered hearing loss and a concussion, but is whole and home. Gary sacrificed his life for this country. I am praying extra hard for his family and fiancee Randi today.

Day 14

I am grateful that I have a husband who knows how to calm me down. While I was so upset yesterday, and still not over it, I love that Travis will hug me and tell me everything will be ok. He was so sweet to hold me and cuddle with me and tell me he will work it out and that for now we need to enjoy our time together. I love him so much

Day 13

I am grateful that my Papa made it through surgery yesterday. He has had multiple stints put in due to blocked arteries and has been on blood pressure medication for quite a while. Yesterday he had to have knee replacement surgery, but in order to have the surgery he had to be off his blood pressure meds for 5 days. Before surgery the dr warned him he had a 25% chance of having a heart attack on the operation table. Thankfully all went well and he got through with no complications. He is home recovering now.

Day 12

I am grateful for yummy, healthy snacks. Sitting here I am eating my new favorite trail mix with roasted peanuts, cashews, dried cranberries raisins and pineapple, and little white chocolate chips. I get some sweetness, some fruit, some protein, and get to feel good about it!

Days 9-11

Eek! I am bad at getting on here during the weekends, but I have still been thinking every day of what I am grateful for.

Day 9
I am grateful to be "grown up". There are times I struggle, but mostly I enjoy being independant. I am married, pay my bills on time, decide what to cook for dinner, take care of my home. It is a good feeling to know that I am doing well.

Day 10
I am grateful to live in a place where I am free to worship. I have an amazing church, and can attend it without fear of being persecuted.

Day 11
I am grateful that we make enough money to have some to spend on "extras". We are getting to go on a Disney cruise this year, we've both gotten tattoos in the past few weeks, I bought a new video game last night...life is good.

Day 8

I am grateful for my husband's hugs! There is just so much that can be resolved and made better by a big hug. I am so glad I married a man who will hug me and I know that he loves me
