30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 30

 

Today, I am thankful for the Magik Theatre.  We went out on a limb about two years ago and bought tickets for a showing of the Jungle Book at the local children’s theater.  Addison had never sat still through an entire movie but we thought we would give it a try anyway.  She loved it, as did Dalton.  This is our second season of being season’s ticket holders and we still look forward to going every six weeks or so.  We still may not go to the movies often but you can always count on us for a review of the latest play.

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 29

 

Today, I am thankful for Nikki, who is not only my trainer for the next four months but also a friend.  She pours her heart and soul into her clients and because I know that, I am thankful she has agreed to pour just a little bit of her heart and soul into me. 

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 28

 

Today, I am thankful for the Schertz Public Library.  Dalton and I have attended story time at the library since before Addie was born.  We’ve met several friends through the library, read many great books loaned to us by the library, and have many wonderful keepsake crafts to cherish that we made at the library.  It’s a great place to beat the summer heat or the winter chill.  The new building is beautiful and the staff is always ready to lend a hand.  We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful resource at our fingertips.

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 27

 

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.

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 26

 

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?!?

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 25

 

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.

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 24

 

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.
