DAY 16 I'm thankful for weekends away and a husband that allows me to have girl time! This weekend I am headed down to Nashville to spend time with one of my best friends and meet her new, precious baby girl and I couldn't be more excited! I don't care who you are or what kind of amazing relationship you have with your husband...girl friends and time with girl friends is essential. I always hate being away from Coy, but am so thankful that he allows me to spend time with friends on a regular basis. He encourages me to go on girls trips, girls weekends, girls nights out, etc. etc. I can't imagine feeling guilty every time I step out the door to spend time with my friends...luckily I don't have to imagine it because my hubs is so generous and also values his time with friends and his time alone at home. Luckily I also have great friends that I love to spend weekends with, friends that when we are together it feels like we haven't spent any time a part. I am blessed!
DAY 17 I'm thankful for the nights that Coy and I spend at home, in our sweat pants, with a fire lit! This past week we actually had our first fire in our new house! When looking for a house one of hubs top amenities was a wood-burning fireplace. We had one in our previous home and took full advantage of it! Some people might think they are too much work (and I would think this too if I was the one building and maintaining them - but fortunately I am not) but hubs loves building a fire! And I love that he loves to build one because then I get to enjoy these fires all winter long! There is just something so comforting about sitting in front of a lit fireplace...it doesn't matter what you are in front of it - watching tv, playing a game, reading, other things inappropriate to mention : ), it brings such a great sense of relaxation and peace!
DAY 18 I'm thankful that my family loves one another and considers each other our best friends. Growing up my parents always encouraged and expected quality time and communication with one another. Of course I grew up having huge-blown out fights with both of my sisters at one time or another, but we always made up and we never allowed these fights to cloud the love that we had for one another. I am thankful for a family that loves unconditionally, a family that values one another, and a family that doesn't spend time together out of obligation but truly enjoys and seeks time with each other! I am thankful that my sisters and my parents are some of the best friends I could have ever asked for!
