Thankful on Thursday

Today I am OH SO THANKFUL :-)

-I'm so thankful I got to spend time at the beach last week with my family and Melissa. It was a wonderful, relaxing time. It was so relaxing that we didn't take any pictures......so that's a mission failure....but really, it was a vacation success!

-I'm thankful I got to see my friend Ashley and her two AMAZING little boys today. We went to Hershey, PA to see Chocolate World and had a wonderful time.

-I'm thankful that my hubby was willing to drive with me to Hershey (3 hours there, almost 5 hours home) and hang out with all of us. He even had a GREAT time doing it. It was super fun to watch him play with Jacob, my favorite 3-year-old.

-I'm thankful that my Springwoods friends are still supporting me as I move to a new school. Amazing people, I tell you.

-I'm thankful for Shannon and her crossed fingers. I tell you, we're due for our finger (and toe) crossings to work out here some time in the near future.

-AH! I can't believe I almost forgot to be specifically thankful for one part of our beach trip. HOLY MOLY SPICY GUACAMOLE! I am so thankful for those peach daiquiris! Seriously, be jealous. My mom ROCKS a blender. Apparently, I have my Uncle David to thank for the recipe. Ultimately, I'm just glad those things existed.

-I'm thankful that this weekend I get to go hang out in Raleigh with good friends and go see Rascal Flatts. I cherish the opportunity to wear boots and sing along with thousands of strangers to great music. Ah....summer :-)

-I'm thankful that Christine wanted to hear (read) my list of thankfuls tonight. After the long drive home from PA, I considered not posting, but I knew I'd promised. And I feel SO much better after a good round of thankfuls!

I know it's the middle of summer, but I'm still gonna say it for all my non-teacher friends out there...HAPPY FRIDAY!
