Thankful Thursday

It seems like forever since I did a Thankful Thursday...here goes!
1. Sunshine

After what seems like two straight weeks of rain it has been glorious to have the sun out today. I LOVED the rain for the first week, but by week two I was ready for the sun to come out. It is only a couple of weeks until Independence Day and it feels like spring still! I'm ready for SUMMER!

2. Summer!
Miquelle is out of school for the summer. Jared and Gabe are not (darn year round school!!) It has been so fun to have Miquelle home. She is very helpful and it is fun to have her friends over. Today she and I took Cole and Cagney to run errands and we got a lot done! It is so nice to have another set of big hands around. And Miquelle is really fun to shop with!

3. New shoes
One of our stops today was for new work shoes for me. My feet and my back have not been on speaking terms for quite some time. It was time to spring for new work shoes. I got some that a lot of people at work recommended. I sure hope they help because they cost probably as much as my last 7 pair of shoes! I would rather have more inexpensive shoes that a couple of expensive pair. But it was time. Hopefully my back and feet with be friends again.

4. Online classes
I'm taking another online class this summer (English). It is SO cool. I have to log in every wednesday morning and listen to a lecture (from the comfort of my own home) from my teacher (that she gives from the comfort of her own home). People in the class can type questions or comments. WOW! Back in my day we had to actually get dressed, leave the house and go to a classroom! AND this teacher is so helpful unlike last semester where my teacher only answered one email the whole semester!! I have a paper due for my class tomorrow that I should be working on right now. If only writing English papers was as fun as blogging. (Rachel would probably disagree with me.)

5. People
How can I put this without sounding weird? Hmmm. I like to surround myself with people that make me feel good, make me laugh, teach me things, make me want to be a better person. And I know a lot of those people! I'm so grateful for those examples. For people that make life bearable, for people who make me laugh, for people who listen, for people who don't judge, for people who make the ins and outs of daily life so much more enjoyable!! If you are reading this chances are you can probably count yourself as one of those people! So THANKS!
