TOP 1O


In these last couple of hectic weeks before Christmas, here are 10 simple things I'm thankful for.

  1. Potty training. Bella starting to wait by the door when she needs to go to the bathroom. Progress!
  2. Cup holders. With our new/used '91 Mercury Topaz (named George) lacking any places to put our pop, I'm appreciating Betty the Jeep having an abundant amount of cup holders.
  3. Snow. Big, fluffy, slowing falling, several inches of snow.
  4. A garage. Not having to scrape off our vehicles before we want to go anywhere.
  5. Coffee. It thaws you out the first thing when you get to work. (Not to mention it wakes you up.)
  6. 4-wheel drive. To help us get through number 3.
  7. A good movie. Whether at home or in the theater. It's nice just to be able to "get away".
  8. Family. Without a good relationship with the Johnson's or Eidsmoe's, holidays would look completely different.
  9. Technology. Cell phones, internet, and cable T.V. Where would we be without them.
  10. Erin. I take her love for granted. Everything she does (well almost everything) ;) whether it's the finances, cleaning, her support, or her sense of humor. I'm thankful for how much of an impact she has on my life.
What are you thankful for?

I'm thankful for...
+ sons who love their wives
+ a husband who set a good example for his sons (and the best gift I've ever been given in this world)
+ a simple carpenter who was willing to be a husband to a woman who carried a baby within her even though that baby wasn't his
+ a baby born that blessed night who gave us more than we have ever deserved - eternal life!
Merry Christmas!
