Day 7

I'm VERY thankful...

To have a dog that doesn't shed.  Or beg.  Or snatch food practically out of my hand.  Or barks a lot.  Or licks.  Or runs away if he's off the leash.

Pretty much I'm super thankful I have the perfect dog.  (Can you tell I'm a little annoyed by the other two dogs I'm living with?)

Sunshine.  It can do wonders to lift the spirit.

Day 4 & 5

I am thankful for...

My membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints and the comfort it provides me.

My health. Although I've been having weird sciatica lately, I am thankful that I have two arms and two legs that function properly along with the rest of my body.  So many people are fighting internal battles with their health and I need to remember how lucky I am that I am not one of them (at the moment).

Day 3

Today I am thankful for...

A good haircut. It can make a girl feel beautiful with just a few snips of the scissors!

Day 2

I am grateful for...

All of our wonderful friends in Omaha. This really is home.

I laughed SO HARD

I laughed so hard today that I couldn't speak or even breath. And, the story probably isn't going to be as funny to you guys.  Oh well.  Ryan and I were driving to go on a bike ride and I was playing around with his Gatorade water bottle. You know, the ones that all the athletes have? Looks like this:
 



Anyway, when you squeeze it, it puffs out some air that sends just an itty bit of water spraying. (Driving through the mountains it scared the heck out of me when it would spray on its own. Or I thought Ryan was spitting on me while he talked).  Today, I decided to spray it right in Ryan's face for a good laugh. He was surprised and we laughed a bit.  Then, I thought it'd be even funnier to spray it in Ryan's ear, you know, kinda like a wet willie. However, when I squeezed it this time not just a little spray but water, a full on stream of water went flying right into his ear and down his face. I laughed so hard. Luckily Ryan did too. Gosh, I am still laughing about it, now!

Oh and Ryan wanted me to mention that we went on a 7 mile bike ride around Lake Zorinsky. Man, my muscles are not used to those motions and I had jello legs.  Oh, and in case you were wondering, 55 degrees on a bicycle is cold.  A hat or ear warmer and gloves is recommended (of course we learned from experience).

Day 1

Today I am thankful for...

A husband who can work the knots out of my back, take the topper off the bed two nights ago, then put it back on tonight all so he can hopefully stop listening to my whining about back pain.
