Today, I am thankful for and proud of my husband and his new business. RPM (realpropmetrics.com) was officially launched about one month ago. He has poured his heart and soul into this idea for the last several years. I am excited and thankful to see that his dream of owning his own company has finally come true.
Today, I am thankful for Scholastic Book Clubs, children who love to get that big red box in the mail just as much as I do and a husband who indulges my simple pleasures. You can never have enough books right?!?
Today, I am thankful for lazy Sunday afternoons. We generally host a bible study at our home on Sunday afternoons. Although we do love to open our home to others, every now and again it’s nice to have a lazy Sunday afternoon with just the family.
Today, I am thankful for the wonderful city in which we live. I couldn’t ask for a better place to raise my children. Blake and I always joke that our kids grow up on vacation……partly because San Antonio is the place we both vacationed on several occasions as kids but mostly because our kids really have grown up on vacation. Between Sea World, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, the zoo, Kiddie Park, museums, train rides, the Riverwalk, city activities and parks galore, we never seem to find ourselves lacking in things to do.
Today, and always, I am thankful for my very best friend in the world….Jess. We apparently met for the first time in grade school (which she remembers but I cannot recall) and then were reunited in high school. We moved away for college together, spent two years in the dorms together and another two years in an apartment together AND lived to tell about it. She was my maid of honor in my wedding, we ironically found out we were pregnant with both of our children on her birthday, and my children both think of her as “Aunt Jess”. We cried together, laughed together, learned to drive together, vacationed together and learned how to live life together. I couldn’t ask for a better friend.

Today, I am thankful for losing track of time. The kids and I have been very intentional about taking advantage of the beautiful weather over the school holiday this week. We’ve managed to meet different friends at a different park every day this week. All three days, I’ve lost track of time and stayed longer than I had planned. It wasn’t due so much that I was having trouble getting the kids to leave, it was due mostly to being lost in conversations with good friends. I am thankful that the kids and I are all surrounded with such wonderful friends who enjoy the outdoors as much as we do.
Today, I am thankful that on this date 8 years ago, God had planned for me to become Mrs. Blake Lacy. He is everything I could have asked for plus more. I’m very thankful that he picked me to be his forever.
