Blessed

As I've sat here this morning enjoying my mug of Chai tea, I've thought a lot about just how blessed I am. As most know, the last two weeks at my house have been stressful and full of drama. There have been days over the last two weeks that I've thought running away from it all would be the smartest, not to mention easiest thing to do. There have been days that I've just wanted to scream and pull my hair out, but that wouldn't have been much help either. So here I am.

No matter what life throws my way though, I've got an awesome husband, daughter and fabulous friends and family. They aren't perfect by any means, but they support me no matter what the situation and they love me despite my imperfections. And that, my friends, is a comforting thought.

My husband-bless his heart, he's had a rough couple of weeks as well dealing with his Mom. And it's not over yet. But you know, we've proven over the last couple of weeks that we can go through anything as long as we have each other. I'm amazed on a daily basis at how God put this wonderful man in my life. We don't have a perfect marriage by any means, but we are perfect for each other and that's what matters.

My girl-she's at her Dad's this week for Spring Break. I miss her like crazy. She came up to work for a minute today to drop something off for me. As soon as she could get the door on the van open, she was out hugging me like crazy. Although it's only been three days since we've seen each other, you'd think it had been weeks. I love that! I love that even though she's a 12 year old hormonal pre-teen, she still gives me a big hug when we see each other.

My family in KC-man, they are AWESOME! I called my sister-in-law last night at 10:00to tell her something that I had thought of. Oh my gosh, we laughed for 30 minutes on the phone. We laughed so hard we were crying! I think Steve thought we had lost our minds. But man, it was great! We are going to KC for Easter on Friday. We can't wait-it's going to be so awesome to get away from here and to just sit back, relax and laugh.

And my friends-I'm not sure what I did for God to bless me with so many great friends, but whatever it was, I'm so thankful. At church on Sunday some friends who moved to Illinois were visiting. We hadn't seen them in months, yet we picked up right where we left off. Our friends are the best. No matter what the situation, they are always there for a laugh, a prayer, or just a chat.

I suppose I should get off of here and finish getting ready for work. My Chai is gone now and that means it's time to get off my toosh and get ready to walk out the door. Have a blessed day-I know I am. :)
