Crazy

These last couple weeks have been crazy, hence why I haven't written on here! With Thanksgiving passing it really made me think about all the things I am thankful for in my life and I need to be better at not just thinking it but actually writing it down.
We had an awesome Thanksgiving with my family, and I am thankful to have a husband who gets along with my family and is so easy going. On the flip side I am also thankful to have such awesome in-laws!
I kept thinking over Thanksgiving about how grateful I am to have such a hard working husband. He has been working so hard in school over the past 5 years in order to provide a good life for our family. Sometimes I don't always act as grateful as I am because I have been working full time for the past 5 years, but I really am grateful for his dedication to being successful in school. I know all of that hard work will pay off when he finally graduates from CRNA school, and I am working hard to remain positive through all the stress and bumps along the way! (Because there have been quite a few) haha Here is our Thanksgiving family picture right before the feast!

Noodle

Joel is very smart.  He always knows what's going on with politics and news...im grateful for him because I hate keeping up on these sorts of things,  so he fills me in on all the important stuff

The Grass is Green Right Here

Joel is just a happy person. When he lived with my family in utah last summer (while I was pregnant, lucked out on that one) my dad would always say how nice it was to have Joel there because he is just such an easy going happy guy.
Im grateful for Joel's positive outlook and happy demeanor he lives life with. I need to be more like that.

Sleepy Time

One of my favorite things is coming home and seeing Joel and Everett asleep taking a nap together or when Evie wakes up really early and Joel brings him into our bed and cuddles him back to sleep.

Today im grateful for half awake kisses that happen when Joel leaves before me in the morning, and for sweet father son cuddles :)

Example

Joel spoke in church today with some of the deacons he teaches.  It was such an awesome talk and his kids gave really great talks too.
Im grateful to have a worthy husband who is such a good example to the young boys in our ward.  And I know he will be just as good of an example to our son(s) when they get older. 
Ps I love this picture of us in Yellowstone in sept 2013

Sweetest thing

I was going through random pictures on my camera today and found this one I took this last summer. I really wanted a family picture so I made Joel trek out into the brush at a local park and take some...with our tripod...haha it was 12:30 in the afternoon and the sun was beating down and he was mad at me the whole time for making him do it haha and I didnt think I took any cute ones but I found this little gem!
I am so grateful to be partnered with this guy in raising our little guy. He is such a fun dad and I love watching them play together, it really is the sweetest thing.

Clean Freak

Joel is always complaining about how dirty my car always is. And in his defense, well, it really is haha but he ran to the store last night to buy his hunting pass (so he can hunt in an area with planted birds) and took my car. He also picked me up some cranberry juice and 7-up which ive been saying I wanted for a few days...which was awesome. But anywho so I went out to go to work this morning after he'd left for hunting and I open my door and what do I find? All the stray garbage from my car sitting in my front seat. insta-anger welled up haha Why wouldnt he just throw it away???? I was so annoyed, then as I drove to work I thought well if he hadnt have put it there I probably wouldnt have ever thrown it away, and he did make it easy by gathering it all up and leaving it on my seat.

So today I am thankful for Joel half cleaning the garbage out of my car. and note to self, make sure you thank him for it with no hint of sarcasm! (dang that sarcasm!)

Let's Get it Started!

I have created this blog as a journal for me to keep track of all the things about my husband that I am grateful for.  I have thought about doing this for sometime, but life gets in the way and I forget about it.  I love my husband with all my heart, but sometimes he does things that drive me crazy...so instead of nagging him about them, I am going to try and focus on the positive things about my husband.  This blog is going to be my space to share my feelings and help me to become a more kind, less naggy, GRATEFUL WIFE!



See, look how cute he is! He deserves some thanks right? ;)
