Gonna combine these into one post, since they are both basically the same thing, lol.
Today I'm going to focus on things that have happened to me in my life that I am SUPER thankful for. I've been through a lot, especially since I got married, and I want to say thank you to some people for all the things the did for us while we were going through such a difficult time.
First, I'd like to say thank you to my mom and dad. I was pregnant when we got married, and was SUPER close to delivering when we were evicted from the house we were in. We had like 3 days to get EVERYTHING out of the house (including the stuff that his parents had left behind) and it was in the heat of summer. My parents helped us move everything out and into a storage shed. And then they set up a bed in the kitchen so we could stay with them until I delivered. They were there for us in a time when everything seemed to be falling apart around us, and I am SO blessed to have them in my life. They kept a roof over our head when we were afraid we weren't going to have anywhere to go. So thank you Mom and Dad!
Then I'd like to say thank you to my friends Ashley and Tony. We got evicted, and had to move, but had no real income or ability to get our own place. They let us live in their living room on the couches, with my oldest sleeping in her pack and play. They kept a roof over our head and food in our stomachs when we were at such a low point in our lives, and that means the world to me because they didn't HAVE to do it. They WANTED to, and that means a lot to me!
Then I'd like to thank the members of my family, and my in-laws. They have provided clothes for my daughters when we couldn't afford to get them anything new. And they've helped us with class pictures, school supplies, and other school necessities. So thank you all so very much for everything you've done for the girls. We are so very thankful.
I'd like to thank my mom and dad for taking the girls one week a year. The girls love it, and they always do something fun and exciting, which makes me happy that the girls are getting to have those experiences. That, and it gives my husband and I a week to celebrate our anniversary, because it almost always happens around that time. So that is super special too. So thank you so much Mom and Dad. It means a lot to us.
I want to say thank you to my husband. He worked nights at a hotel for almost 9 years, even though he HATED it, and it was super hard to be apart for that time. He did what he needed to do to keep a roof over our heads, food in our stomachs, and clothes on our back. He has always been there for us, even when he was having such a hard time, and I am so blessed that I found such an amazing man to be my husband for the rest of my life. I honestly feel like I would be nothing if not for his love. I just hope he knows how much I appreciate everything he has done for us!
I want to thank my friends - Heather, Daniel, and James. You guys have been there for me at some of my lowest points in my life and you brought me back from the brink of doing something terrible to those around me. You keep me sane, and alive, and that is HUGE. I never really had friends like that (at least not for years - I did have Cassie, Ashley, and Misty when I was in high school and just after, but I don't get to see them very often anymore). So thank you for putting up with me when I get that way, and for being willing to do whatever it took/ takes to keep me alive. And I want to thank my husband for the same thing. He talks me down when I'm having a bad day, and lets me cry on his shoulder when all I want to do is curl up and cry. And that means so very much to me. You all do! Thank you!
I want to thank my daughters. They have been such strong little souls when everything has happened in our lives. Like having to move out of the house we were in when Desiree was born, having to put up with the pest control at the apartment (and all the BS they put us through) and moving from the apartment to the house we are in now. They stay strong, and they are so helpful, and that means the world to me because they take time out of being a kid to do what needs to be done. And that is HUGE to me. HUGE!

Ok, I think that's all the thank you I have for things that happened in the past. I seriously have such a blessed life because of everyone who has done so very much for us.
Today we've got a few things going on. Hubby gets his next to last paycheck from his old job today, and we are gonna pick up a few things at Walmart. He is going out to fill out the paperwork for the new job he starts Monday (which I am SO excited for!). And then we are gonna spend some time together around the house. It's gonna be a great day!
Anyway, I hope everyone has an awesome day
LATER TATER
