I'm jealous of myself!

hi party people...I have been so stressed out the last two weeks that I decided to take a moment to reflect and be thankful. This new job I got is amazing, however it is insane-but in a awesome way. I am so stressed that my body has literally broken out into hives. So in addition to meeting new people, writing curriculum, setting up my classroom I am wearing long sleeves and pants to cover up my body. They probably think I am such a weirdo. Well....I am. When I reflect on being thankful I am reminded of a particular spring break where my girlfriends and I went to Florida. When we pulled up to the beach house that we were staying at my friend Rece screamed "I'm jealous of myself!" So in the spirit of being thankful I am "jealous of myself" for the following reasons...

My husband-he is such a gift to me. He makes me laugh, he is my best friend, and I wouldn't want to tackle life with anyone else.

My little Noah-I love that Shannon and I created him. He is perfect, joyful, and loves to dance.

My faith-I love that my family can worship together at Eastlake church. It's amazing.

My mother in law-She is such a help and blessing to me. She is a wonderful example of what a mother's heart is.

My Sisters-In all the craziness, they know me. I love them and even though we are far away we abuse our phone plans daily.

Family time-going to the park, walks, coronado concerts, dance parties, dinner time, going to disney, car trips, reading stories, snuggle time in bed.

Sarah H.-amazing. bacon.

The Taylor girls-laughter, memories, growing older, these friendships have lasted the test of time.

The Eastlake girls-parties, playdates, and pee your pants laughter.

My tap class-i feel sparkly.

A good bath in my soaking tub.

My bed

pizza

glitter

hearing someone laugh

My new work team-it's like the three of us were meant to work together.

My students-they make me feel like I was born to teach.

going to target.

new school supplies

my home. -i love every angle, and room of our home. It's my dream home.

swimming with noah

riding my bike

my dvr

my morning routine of quiet time with God, eating breakfast, all while the boys are still sleeping

My life is not by all means perfect but if you don't take the time to sit, reflect, and be thankful then you will lose yourself. I mean Oprah says that we should always take the time to be thankful-she is the queen.
