28 Days of Gratitude, playing catch up

Well, yet again life took over and I found it difficult to find time to blog over the last week. With that being said, I made sure to take the time each night to jot down the things in life I was grateful for that day so I didn't fall behind.  Now in one large post I will catch up on the last week of "28 days of gratitude"

Day 3 May 10,201


I am grateful for the ability to run.  Although it has been a while since I ran, the release I feel empowers me to make myself better with every step I take.

I am grateful for the smiles we get from Madilyn during bath time! Her coo’s and laughter are contagious

I am grateful that I am sharing parenthood with a loving husband who allows me to go to sleep early on the days I am tired.


Day 4  May 11,2012

I am grateful for the stability my husband and I have found in our lives. Going to bed each night not having to worry about tomorrow alows us to enjoy life.

I am grateful for the creativity Adam and I have when it comes to designing our new house and the landscaping that needs to be done also.

I am grateful for the what ever insects come out in May and June to eat the blackflies!!


Day 5  May 12,2012

I am grateful for the opportunity to share in Bobby Joe and Pat's love by attending their wedding, What a beautiful way to spend a Saturday

I am grateful for my mother in law and father in law, they drove all the way to watch Madilyn so that Adam and I could enjoy a nice night out together.

I am grateful for the feeling I got tonight when I looked across the table and Adam smiled at me, falling in love with him every day is the best feeling ever!


Day 6  May 13,2012

I am grateful for coffee and sleep after too much wine the night before.

I am grateful for the piolt flying the plane home from Cuba holding most of my extended family, thank you for getting them home safe.

I am grateful for the card my "daughter" (husband) gave me for my first mothers day, so special!

I am grateful for quite time spent with Adam and Madilyn.


Day 7  May 14, 2012

I am grateful for the extra sleep I got today with Madilyn.

I am grateful that someone created the internet and online shopping, I didnt even have to leave my house to buy two new bathing suits.  Now hopefully they fit and look good!


Day 8  May 15, 2012

I am grateful that a dear friend has become such an integeral part of my life "Happy Birthday Kim!!"

I am grateful that Subway makes subs that are low in fat, I was able to buy my lunch in town today and not feel guilyt about it.


Day 9  May 16,2012

I am grateful for the burn I felt today after my Kangoo work out, I guess my muscles really do remember how to work.

I am grateful for the fact that I fit into two pairs of pre baby jeans!!! Only 10 more to work my way into.

I am grateful for unlimited long distance and long chats with my bestest!!!


Day 10  May 17,2012

I am grateful that Roxy is on Mat leave with me, She helps keep me company on my many ventures into town.

I am grateful that Maddy will have a life long friend in Xander, watching them smile and laugh at each other was the cutest thing ever!

I am grateful that Madilyn was delivered and born healthy and happy, not all families are blessed with this, I am reading a book called "Two Kisses for Maddy"  what a touching story of a families devistation after the birth of their little girl and the death of the mother.


Day 11  May 18,2012

I am grateful of nap time, especially after nights like last night when mommy didn't sleep either

I am grateful for maddy's soother, it gives her comfort in a way that I can not.

I am grateful for the romantic dinner Adam and I will share tonight on our new "date night" at home.  Maddy goes to bed and then the date will begin!

I am grateful that the bathing suit gods have been nice to me and the bathing suits I ordered fit!!  They will even look better in another 10 pound loss from here!
