In case any of you were wondering...

These are things that I like and that I am thankful for. I don't think I think of these things too often, and I've decided it is important for me to remember them. And if it's important for me to remember them, it's obviously important for you to read about them. Just jokes...

1. My family. Immediate, extended and in-lawed. Like them all. Thankful for them all.
2. Being a mom. Bestest, most exhausting job I've done yet. Like it. Thankful for it.
3. Having a place to live. Mostly like it. Thankful for it.
4. Spring showing up on time. Definitely like it. Definitely thankful for it.
5. Coke. What's not to like? What's not to be thankful for? Cody bought me some coke the other day...he bought the pint-sized cans...not sure if he's trying to tell me something...either way, go coke!
6. Home-made, bbq'd hamburgers.
7. Sunshine!
8. Sunday morning starbucks.
9. Good discussions.
10. Our MTS cable was extended an extra 6 months at the trial 6 month price.
11. Crafting. Of any kind. Specifically card making and sewing.
12. A good hair cut. Which sadly, my hair stylist quit...I'm open to suggestions.
13. Beach days.
14. Quiet nights at home.
15. Lazy days with friends.
16. Finding the perfect dress. (I didn't buy it though...)
17. Grocery shopping.
18. Any kind of shopping.
19. Good friends.
20. Good books.
21. God's faithfulness.
22. Working on a project/craft and having it turn out exactly how I hoped.
23. Watching my kid try and use a book to stand up.
24. Fresh cut flowers.

I'm sure there is tons more that I like and am thankful for. But for now, I'm done listing.

Good times.

It was just another Thursday morning to me. Cody left at around 8:30 to meet up with a friend for breakfast. Charlie and I were playing. Then the phone rings. Cody's breakfast plans were cancelled...I had ten minutes to get myself and Charlie ready to go; he was going to take us for breakfast instead! Whoo hoo!
Ten minutes later, I was nowhere near ready (poo incident...Charlie, not me), when Cody came in with a new plan. We were going to Grand Forks for the night! Whoo hoo indeed!
So we packed up and away we went. We spent the day shopping at Target, playing with Charlie in the kiddie pool and enjoying some quality time together! It was wonderful. The next day, we went to the mall and shopped. (Sidenote: Cody spent WAY more than me...a little fact that I am quite proud of!)

Yay for impromptu trips to the states.
Yay for the return of Cody's spontanaity. (sp?)

Lost Thoughts: The most recent episode

I watched Lost with some friends last night, minus our Lost guru, David Rae. Here are our 'theories':

Family reunion. It's as easy as that. They are all related. The Shepherds and the Widmores. 6 year family reunion on a beautiful island. BBQ's via the smoke monster. Submarine rides. Meeting your 'other' children.

I think that should clear things up.

You are welcome.

On blogging.

I think people should blog more so stay-at-home moms have something different to read.
Just saying.
