Today I’m practicing gratitude again, and many of things on my list seem to be related to relationships with others.
524. Brian got a smart phone at last! He wanted a Droid when we first got married, but I finally convinced him that it didn’t make sense to spend that much money on a phone and then say I couldn’t afford to fly back to Iowa for my cousin’s wedding. Plus, I knew that there would be a lot of hidden costs as we moved to Arizona and got settled in an apartment. Now, a year later, he finally has his Droid!
When he’s home from work, he’s hardly done anything other than mess with his phone, it seems. It’s that amazing, I guess!
It has already come in handy for looking up Little Caesar’s Pizza in our area while we’re out driving.
We waited until after dark, and I put candles around the edges. It was incredibly relaxing and romantic!
After we dried off and changed, Brian agreed to watch Emma with me. This was kind of a big deal, since he dislikes Pride & Prejudice (even the Keira Knightly one) and Sense & Sensibility.
530. Speaking of friends, one of my best friends from college happened to be in Phoenix last Friday, and we got to have lunch together! I hadn’t seen her since my wedding, so it was so much fun to catch up!
531. Friends who enjoy hanging out with us, even if they have a penchant for children’s 80’s movies, like the one we watched Saturday…
532. My birthday is coming up! I’m excited, even though Brian will be gone on a business trip until 8 p.m. the day of. It’s ok though, because we’re planning to drive to LA that night and spend the weekend with my sister-in-law and celebrate with going to the beach and enjoying the cooler weather!
What are you grateful for today? Who are you thankful that you get to spend time with?
