The Little Things

It's time for another gratitude post -- more for me than anyone else.

1. I'm grateful that Erica can give the dog a bath by herself when Rob is out of town
   
2. I'm grateful for book orders (these make almost every gratitude list)
3. I'm grateful I got to go to the temple today (despite almost passing out & exiting in a downpour!)
   
4. I'm grateful for soccer season and for my Dad & Jan driving down to watch their grandkids play (and to hang out with me!) 
   
5. I'm grateful for the frozen BBQ chicken pizza that happened to be in the freezer - that still tasted good a little burned
6. I'm grateful that Robby and his friend let Jacob tag along
7. I'm grateful for my friend Cheri that has bailed me out multiple times this week
8. I'm grateful for Derek & Maren who jumped our car three times last weekend
   
9. I'm grateful for a new car battery
10. I'm grateful I got to go eat school lunch with Jacob (he was nervous to try it for the first time), even though it meant little 1st grade fingers (not Jacob's) touching my milk carton and my fortune cookie.
    
11. I'm grateful to hear the dryer buzzer go off and know that Erica will handle it 
    
12. I'm grateful that Zoe and I at least have each other when the days go by slowly
    
13. I'm grateful for my friends that go to lunch with me (I've got to enjoy this baby-free time, right?)
14. I'm grateful that Maren and Cari are throwing me a baby shower as we no longer have any baby stuff
15. I'm grateful for Amazon & Target registries (I forgot how much fun this is!)
16. I'm grateful that Jocelyn is loaning us her infant carseat
17. I'm grateful I can still walk and drive (this should be #1)
18. I'm grateful we were able to mail pictures/cards to all of our great-grandmas this week
19. I'm grateful that Rob is coming home on Saturday
20. I'm grateful that I can blast peppy/motivating songs (that Rob emails to me =) when I'm tired
