I’m thankful that I won’t be in charge of cooking a turkey.
I’m thankful for Z. Every day. I’m thankful for his extreme,
baffling patience. And his consistent kindness. And that there are almost always
flowers in our house because he gives them to me all.the.time. And that I’m
living and traveling abroad with my best friend. It never stops blowing my
mind. Also I’m thankful for how much he makes me laugh.
I’m thankful for Skype and FaceTime and email. My gosh, how
did people survive anything before these technologies?
I’m thankful for our families. We really hit the jackpot and
we know it. Our parents recently had lunch together and Zach commented “we are
such a good match that even our parents get along” and that’s true. Z and I
secretly hope our parents will become such good friends that we just start to
merge all family events and end up having reunions with matching tshirts and
personalized beach towels and grandbabies running around and junk food and
happy chaos. Someone will have to own a beach house, of course. Plan
accordingly, families.
I’m thankful for Google Translate.
I’m thankful for my job. Even though I think I was really
getting the hang of being a stay-at-home wife. And even though I often lament
the Pinterest projects I’m not accomplishing because I work. I mean, I would
probably do some. Maybe.
I’m thankful for friends (you know who you are) who continue
to email and Skype and iMessage even though we’re so far away. I don’t know
what I’d do without you, I’m serious.
I’m thankful for the friends we’re slowly making here in
Germany. I hope they stick around.
I’m thankful for Cheerios. If this list was in any type of order, this would be way closer to the top, but you know that.
