Thursday's Thankfulness

1. I am thankful for my husband. He sticks with me even through my crazy moments. He makes me laugh, and I would be so lonely without him here with me. God sure knew what he was doing when he brought him into my life 5 1/2 years ago.

2. I am thankful for sisters. I have three great sisters who are so much fun to be around. My older sister is able to share her wisdom with me. My younger sisters laugh and act silly with me. Then, I've got 4 sisters-in-law who are all awesome as well. "Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters."

3. I am thankful that I have been able to find things like Dr. Pepper and awesome pizza in this country. This may seem ridiculous, but it really helps with the home sickness sometimes.

4. I am thankful that I really enjoy my job. While in college, I would have my moments where I worried if I would ever find a job that I would really enjoy going to, and now my worries are relieved. Some days I would just like to stay home, but once I get there, I'm usually glad I came.

5. I am thankful for the internet. Without things like Facebook and Skype, I'd be really homesick. I don't know how people survived in the olden days with only letters that took forever to send as communication.

6. I am thankful that God has fully provided everything we need to live comfortably.

7. I am thankful for blogs and Pinterest. They give me some really great ideas of crafts, DIY stuff, and recipes that I can't wait to try when we move back to America.

8. I am thankful that I have a desire to start learning Korean. When we moved here, I didn't really expect to learn the language, but I quickly realized that I want to be able to communicate with people better. I am currently learning the alphabet, and I get so excited when I can read a word or two on some signs even if I don't know what they mean. lol

9. I am thankful that God has given Teaven and I the opportunity to live in a foreign country and be able to rest and reflect on the past few years of our lives.

10. I am thankful for my parents who have been an amazing example to me of who Christ is and how to live for him daily. I miss them immensely and wish I could just give them a hug.
