Thankful Thursday

I am thankful that I found the remote!

This was in my bathroom upstairs, shoved underneath the cabinet.  As I got out of the shower, I saw it and started laughing.  Ina makes me laugh even when she doesn't know it.  

I am thankful for the gym at my office.

Yesterday I squeezed in a 3 mile run over lunch, rinsed off, and worked the rest of the day with no makeup and pony-tail hair.  I have only used the treadmills there, but I should try out the weight equipment sometime.  

I am thankful for Dan.  

Yesterday was his third day back at work, so I am sure he was exhausted when he got home.  Somehow he still managed to cook us dinner while Ina and I played in the kitchen.

I am thankful for Ina learning.  We are working on not picking her up when she cries/whines to be picked up, and let me tell you, that might be the most difficult thing I will ever do.   She walks right over to me, grabs my legs, looks up, and puts it all out there.   I hear one little sound of discomfort from her and I am putty in her hands.  However, Dan is stronger than me and he kept reminding me to wait it out.  Sigh.  

After a few minutes of tantrum, she decided crying wasn't near as much fun as playing with her Minnie Mouse car, and smiled the rest of the night. Once she wasn't crying, I was more than happy to pick her up and cuddle that sweet face.

I am thankful for my church.  

Seriously, every time I leave there I thank God that I live in the same town as this amazing place!  If you live in the Kansas City area, you should  visit us.  Or, if you want, you can listen to a recent sermon online.  Dan and I often re-listen to sermons that we heard a few weeks before.  Believe me, we need it. 

What are you thankful for?
