Thankfulness Recently

Lately I'm grateful for:

Sunday afternoons at the dog park.

A loving cohort who cares for one another and drives each other crazy.

Friends named Mary.

Having friends with extra beds in the NRV when I'm too tired to drive back to Roanoke.

A husband who claimed to me last night that he is "capitalist by trade, socialist by heart."

Visits from mom and sister.



A pleasantly sweet cooperating teacher to spend this semester learning from.

Dirty pawprints on my sheets.



Free geography swag from fellow teachers.

Brothers who finally read books I took them months ago.

A dad with a little friend in his belly and the opportunity to show off my nursing skills this weekend.

Pictures like this that make me giddy.
