Thankful Thursday

Since I keep missing "What I'm Loving Wednesday," I decided to do a "Thankful Thursday." I always try to think about the things I'm thankful for. In my line of work, I am thankful everyday that I have had a pretty good life and childhood. I've been through losses and tough times, but nothing like what I see every day. So that's my first thing I'm thankful for!

I'm thankful that in 23 days, I am moving into a great little house with my best friend! The house is great and I can't wait to get in there and start decorating! Here we are when I graduated from college:

I'm also thankful that my vet's office still has heartworm medication for Cooper. I heard on the news that the only manufacturer that makes the medication for the United States has temporarily shut down. Vets all over the country are out of the medication. I've seen those heart breaking commercials about dogs that get heartworm and have to be isolated and injected with poisons and even still may not survive. I would hate it if that happened to this little guy:

I'm thankful that I just got to talk my baby brother, Sean for almost 30 minutes on the phone. Usually its about 5 minutes and he is distracted by the tv or computer, but this time was different. We talked about school, Cub Scouts, piano lessons, etc. I even got to say his bedtime prayers with him over the phone...so cute!! 

I'm thankful this work-week is over! Tomorrow, we have a furlough day and Monday is a holiday. I definitely deserve this 4 day weekend! I am on call until Monday morning at 7:00 AM but let's hope I have a very quiet phone :)

I'm thankful that I have confidence in prayer. If I didn't believe in prayer, I think my life would be miserable! I saw a church sign this week that said "Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point!" It seems so simple and it is a great play on words. So I'm just thankful for my faith.

I have a million things to be thankful for, but these are my top things right now. Hope everyone has a good holiday weekend!
