TEN THINGS TUESDAY!!!

Good afternoon -- and, what a HOT one it is!!! It's that time again -- Ten Things Tuesday. Actually, it seems like that's all that I've been blogging about lately. However, I guess if I'm not blogging about daily happenings, it's always good to reflect upon the things that I'm thankful for during the week. So, here goes ~~~

This week, I am thankful for:

1. For one more day of school!!! Yippee, yay!!! Tomorrow, at 12:35pm, Emily and Ryan will officially be on their summer break! We are so happy! This will give us even more time to enjoy things like Nana and Poppy's pool, sleeping in, care-free days, visits to museums, Water Country, Vacation Bible School, picnics, the beach, and etc. Oh, how we love the summer!!!


2. For my wonderful air conditioned house, which is running non-stop with the heat wave that we are experiencing.

3. For beautiful weather on Field Day. The children had a blast. The P.E. teacher did a fantastic job this year planning events/activities that the children enjoyed.

4. For Joshy, our sweet nephew, who turned 4 last Thursday. We are all getting together tonight to celebrate his birthday, at Chuck E. Cheese. It's sure to be fun!

5. For our family day, over the weekend. I always love when Rob is off from work and we get to spend the entire day together. I love our sweet family!

6. For Rob coming to his parents house, right after work, to put gas in my car. While we were enjoying the pool, my beloved husband got my van and filled her up!! I know that I mentioned this in my first or second list, but he is just so amazing. I love him.

7. For Emily making honor roll the entire year. She makes us so proud!

8. For Ryan making honor roll the entire year. He makes us so proud, too!

9. For a night out with my friends (Michelle, Sharon, and Melinda) on Saturday. It was wonderful getting together with them and catching up. We went to Applebee's and then to see "Sex and the City." And, even though I hadn't watched the TV show, I was still able to follow the movie.

10. For knowing that I will go to heaven one day. It's very reassuring on those days that may not be the easiest, that the Lord is always in control of everything. I am so thankful that I know God.
