Thursday's Thankfulness

So, for the month of November Tuesday's Top Ten will change to Thursday's Thankfulness where I will write about things I'm thankful for.

This is for the 1, 2, and 3 of this month. The other ones probably won't be this long, but I'm kind of combining two posts into one.

Before we moved to Korea, I had every intention of getting into a good workout routine and to start eating healthy. Unfortunately, and somewhat fortunately, living in Korea allows me to be extremely lazy, something I have not experienced in a very long time. It's easier and cheaper to opt for eating out rather than cooking. For the first time in a while, Teaven and I are actually able to relax and just enjoy our free time without the stress of being busy 24/7. Last year this time, I was so busy with RA stuff, school, work, and planning a wedding that I longed for some time just to stay in my bed, watch movies and eat junk food. Of course, we have little stressers from our job occasionally, but it's nothing compared to what it would be back home. It's kind of like we're on a long vacation, a working vacation, of course, but still a vacation. And in all honesty, I love it. When am I ever going to get the chance to just relax and focus on things I have been putting off for so many years? The answer: probably never again. Teaven and I even decided that if we went back to America for a visit, it wouldn't be a vacation in the sense of being able to relax because it would be jam packed full (not that I would mind.) I know the moment we move back to America, our lives will become busy once again. We will have meetings and church activities, and then when we decide to have kids, we will be even more busy.
So, I have decided to enjoy this time to be lazy. I am going to enjoy being able to stay in my bed, watch movies and eat junk food. I am going to enjoy eating pizza while watching Biggest Loser. Bob and Jillian would want to kill me if they read that. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I am going to accept it and appreciate it while I've got it.
