Gratitude Challenge: Days 6-8

Instead of giving you all excuses of why I haven't been keeping up on this I'm just gonna start writing about the things I've been thankful for.

Sundays. (Don't worry. I'm not going to do a consecutive Thank You for every single day of the week). I'm so thankful for Sundays. Sometimes I complain about how early I have to get up and how all I want to do is sleep...and while that might be true... I wouldn't trade my Sundays for anything.
I get to hold babies all morning long. I get to laugh about "baby tattoos" and which babies are going to be dating in 15 years with Emily Marker and Shelby.
I get to eat delicious food in the cafe. At church. So convenient.
I get to spend all day with dear friends. The friends who have become family. The friends who hold me accountable and love me. This community, this church, these people are incredible and I can't imagine what it would be like to live life without them.

My job. The Lord has blessed me with two amazing jobs. At the same location.
It's hard. And sometimes frustrating but at the end of the day, so rewarding.

My family.
I'm thankful for my Dad. Who can spout off anything and everything you could ever want or need to know about any war. Who fixes my car when I'm being a girl and have no idea what's wrong with it. And who will make the "chipmunk face" if you beg him long enough.
For my Mom. Who can only drink wine with cranberry juice. Who has a passion for preschoolers like I've never seen before. And who loves to laugh.
For Chelsea. Who loves lace, ribbon, oxfords, and anything vintage. Who puts up with me and my need for quality time. Who always makes me laugh....even when she is telling me that I'm acting like a baby.
For Brenna. Who loves music more than life itself. Who is an incredible musician. Who has a huge heart. And who loves movies.
