1. Watching “new release” movies
2. Taco Night for Dinner! Seriously, why is it that Taco Night is SO fantastic!
3. When people actually read and comment on my blogs! I get sad when they don’t :(
4. My husband cleaning the dining room without me having to ask. We seriously still had Christmas stuff piled up in there and he cleaned it all up and it looks great now. I really appreciated it.
5. The snow mostly melted and no water getting in our basement. (still knowcking on wood though)

1. My Aunt Halsene
2. That I was old enough to really appreciate the time I had with her.
3. Her jar of buttons and the hours we spent playing with them!
4. For being one of the kindest and caring people I know.
5. Dear Aunt Halsene, I am so grateful for the time we had together, but more so I am grateful that you are finally in a better place and suffering no more. It would be selfish of ANY of us wanting you to stay and I know we are all thankful that you will no longer have to go through any more pain or confusion.

5. Having something in the freezer to make for dinner.

I am Grateful For Terry Because….
1. Conversations with Terry. This is what first attracted me to him. I could listen to him talk about topics like religion, music, history, and science forever. And sometimes he WILL talk about those things forever.
2. His Laugh. He has the most contagious and hilarious laugh EVER.
3. His eyes. I can only hope our kids have his color eyes.
4. He is passionate. When he is talking about things he believes in he is very passionate. Some people do not like this because they feel he comes off as rude if they have a different opinion on the subject matter. However, he is not rude but really he is just challenging you to look at what you believe in and be JUST as passionate about it and express it to him. He likes people to be logical and passionate about what they believe in.
5. He is himself and comfortable with who he is and doesn’t care what people think. I wish I could be that comfortable with myself.
