today (and always really) i am grateful


today i am grateful for family who is so happy for me they cant wait to spread the good news and pretend to be surprised at the good news so i can feel good delivering it.

today i am grateful for so many loved ones, friends who i love, and new friends who i also love that took some time to wish our happy little growing family well.

today i am grateful for so many of you who took the time to help build me up (although i hope i didnt fish for your loving compliments- haha) and make me feel talented and loved and blessed.

today i am grateful for a wild, happy, strong-willed baby boy, a healthy little baby inside, and a loving pitch-in kind of husband who honors my every request (honey, can you take a picture of our pumpkins and make a thank you card out of them? thanks.)

today i am grateful for a chance to stay connected with you.

i wish we could sit down and talk about our lives, frustrations, and happy moments in person; but this is fun too. let's make it a point to get together soon- i'm grateful for you.

that is what i get for not looking at others blogs....so, CONGRATS! i am really really exctied for you. amby is going to be a great big brother and i am just so happy for you. i wish in-n-out fries would keep for 5 hours, cause i would bring you some in a heartbeat. and i milk shake too, but i don't think it would make it past the securtiy check, or last that long in the presence of velzy for more than a few minutes for that matter.

anyways, happy happy happy for you. great news and glad to hear your feeling good too!

hey stephie, your gratitude makes me jealous (which is an indication of what a bad vibe i'm in) but thank you for it.

this thank you card reminds me of candy corn in a delightful way. oh so subtly seasonal
