I have been feeling a little ungrateful lately. Mostly because Ryan is working so much and we are making so much less money. I thought sticking to a budget was hard but, I had no idea how much harder it is to not have enough money to make a budget. On the other hand I have been forced to slow down and am getting to know my kids even better. Anyway, I have been thinking of things I am thankful for lately to try and change my terrible attitude. I thought I would write a few down.
1. I am thankful that God is always teaching me even though it is sometimes hard.
2. I am thankful for a wonderful husband. He is teaching me how to really love others. He seems to just love people so easily.
3. I am thankful that my one year old ( currently being called our little Christmas elf) always makes me smile .
4. Only moms of four year old will understand this one. I am thankful that Victoria wrote her name all by herself even though I was totally slacking on working with her.
5. I am thankful for all the kind things Bella does everyday. Even though most days they go unnoticed. Like always making her baby sister happy when she is crying even if Bella has to hurt herself to do it.
6. I am thankful for having such good friends. I know good friends are hard to find and we sometimes take ours for granted. I am thankful that as friends we can learn and grow together.
7. I am thankful that our friends are also good parents so that my kids will have good friends.
8. I am thankful for my dog. I know a lot people won't understand this one. But, my dog makes us all laugh and we have had fun learning about another one of Gods creation. Believe me we still have a lot to learn.
9. I am thankful for a big back yard. We definitely get our use out of it.
10. I am thankful for babies, all babies in general. You just cannot look at or hold a baby and stay in a bad mood. Yes, even if the baby is crying they are just too precious. No, this does not mean I am pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant.
This will have to continue on a later date. Jamie and I are going to attempt making a gingerbread house. Hmm everyone should make a thankful list it really does make you feel grateful. :-)

WE WANT TO SEE YOU GUYS!!
That was fun to read, by the way. And I loved seeing the new picture post.
Hmm.. I understand the no budget thing because of no money. We finally are getting out of that, but Youssef still does plasma (he just got back from there just a few minutes ago).
We should get together! I've been so busy lately with mostly things that I don't want to do that that would be really fun. ;)
