A Night Out of the Norm

Today I am thankful for a night out of the norm.

Ryan and I have needed a night away. We still do. We need to get away from everything for even a few hours. Our schedules aren't allowing it for at least another couple of weeks, though, so we had to improvise. Last night, we moved the furniture around a bit and set up the air mattress in our living room. We didn't end up sleeping there (it seems there's a leak somewhere in the mattress and we would have woken up on the ground!), but we hung out all night watching some of our favorite TV shows and talking. It wasn't any fancy date night by any means, but just a relaxing evening together away from our phones, computers, work we brought home, etc. I still need a night truly away from it all, but for a few hours it was nice to break the normal routine.

A Good Rainy Day

Today I am thankful for a good rainy day.

As long as I can stay inside with nowhere to go, I LOVE a good rainstorm. There's something so relaxing and peaceful about it. The sun will come out tomorrow, but for today, I'm enjoying the clouds.

Two Cards

Today I am thankful for two cards.

I love my husband...and I love that he loves Valentine's Day. He loves it more than I do, I think.

This morning I got two cards. One I knew was coming when we exchanged them, and another that surprised me sitting inside my car when I left for work. This man is a gift. I try so hard not to let his penned words make me cry, but he has quite a way with them.

A Confession

I love technology. I mean really. It's quite lovable.

However...

It still hasn't found a way to keep me very accountable. I'll admit. I've failed at posting this thankful stuff. I have days where I think about what I would post, but I just don't post it. I even have a handy blogger app on my phone. It should be easy. I just have to do it.

I'm amazed at professional bloggers who do it faithfully every day. I think I wanted to be like them, but I'm learning that this is impossible, at least in this stage of my life. I'm okay with that. I may not post every day, but I'm going to commit to trying to post consistently.

Telling people that keeps me accountable...I hope. :-)

And with that, today's post is coming soon!
