The Grump
Peter doesn't get grumpy very often but when he does I notice. Most of the time I notice before he does, point it out, and make him even more grumpy. I think I have a case of the "I didn't realize I was grumpy but clearly I am" lately.
So...as usual time to make an "I'm thankful for" list. Because I have so many things!!
*My children were angels, yes angels, during our 15 hour trip back from KY. We had to go unexpectedly for my Grandaddy's funeral and honestly I was dreading the trip. 2 hours in the car, 2 flights and a 4 hour layover in Denver. Seriously they were amazing. I'm sure our traveling companions were thankful for that too!
*My house smells fabulous. Absolutely fabulous. We got the perfect tree last night and although it only has lights on it I already find myself getting in the Christmas spirit.
*My children are currently napping simultaneously. I do realize that as soon as I hit the "publish" button they were probably both wake up but for now I'm thankful. (This was yesterday....I'm praying for a repeat today!)
*My dear husband is master's complete. Complete!!! I can't even express in words how excited I am that he is finished writing papers!!! This means that when he comes home at night we can actually hang out. Did I mention how excited I am?
*I no longer have a HUGE whole in my kitchen ceiling. We had a leak the first week in October and have had a hole since then. Ridiculous!! Finally they put the last coat of mud on this morning and I have my kitchen back. Hallelujah!!
*The sun was shining here today. Albeit it was raining simultaneously but still! It was beautiful.
*I LOVE our new church. It took us a while to find one because Peter was gone for so long but now that we are settled and meeting people it is wonderful! Did I mention it is 2 blocks from our house?
*Even though the circumstances were sad I'm so happy my boys got extra time to spend with their extended family, especially Ma & Pa!

What a sweet list! I agree - it's so nice to make a "thankful" list when you're feeling grumpy. Also, my husband is done with law school next April and I can't wait! I bet you're super stoked to be on to bigger and better things. :-)
