Day 647
This day was lovely. We spent it with family. We went to my grandparent's house to watch fireworks. I love watching my children's faces when they're watching fireworks. They are so beautiful.
Having a family is a beautiful thing. And it should not ever be taken for granted.
Feeling thankful.

Officially Moved In.
July 5, 2018
Day 645
Today I am thankful that after months and months of living with moving boxes stored in our garage, we are officially moved in to our new home! There are no more moving boxes anywhere. This is an amazing feeling. I am thankful for this home, and this land, and the beautiful blessings that come along with it. Like waking up every morning to the waving of the leaves on the trees. Like hearing the wind blow through the trees. It sounds like ocean waves. Like hearing the crunch of the gravel under my shoes. Like seeing my children and my dog play happily in the backyard. This home is more than I ever could have even have imagined we could have.

Day 644
Tonight, I am thankful for these things:
1. It was a lovely 4th of July. We spent this day with family. Days spent with family are days well spent.
2. We had delicious food and desserts today.
3. I love watching the awe and wonder in my children's eyes when they see fireworks. They don't have to be large and grand to make a child's eye pop wide open.
4. My kids had fun playing in the pool at their cousin's and aunt's house today.
5. Patty and I have plans this Friday to go out to dinner with our good friends. I'm excited to see my girlfriends!
6. I love our home. I so love this home. It's hard not to want to make every room exactly how I want it right away, but I'm trying hard to enjoy the journey of getting it where I want it to be.
7. Higbee loves to cuddle with me at night and it makes me feel warm and cozy to think that a sweet animal loves me enough to cuddle with me.
8. My kids have the sweetest kisses.
9. I love my bed. I'm always thankful for my bed.

1. The sky was so blue this morning that it looked lavender.
2. Higbee was lazy this morning. He laid in bed for a long time before finally getting up to eat and go out.

4. My children were sweet and precious today. As they are every day.
5. My husband looked at me tonight, in my eyes, and said, "I love you."
6. Tobin likes to cuddle in bed with me in the mornings. And he always wakes me up by saying, "I'm so hungry, Mama!"

8. We went to the pool.
9. We sat on the deck and talked for a while.
10. We have plans to go see Matt's grandparents tomorrow.
11. I had a nice, raw, real conversation with my Grandma tonight.
12. Tomorrow is a new day. Each morning is new and fresh and ready to be written. I'm going to make it worth writing about.
