The Best

i am so lucky... i really am... maybe i should look at it like, good stuff out = good stuff in...
i have the best husband... like i said earlier, i do gripe about him but at the end of the day when it's all said and done, i love him to pieces and wouldn't trade him for the world...
my family... i have the best family in the world... not once have mom or dad ever not helped me (or us), especially when we needed help... they have always been a big part of my life and i have relied on them a lot... it seems that there is absolutely nothing that they can't do.... honestly, they are so awesome!! their talents and generosity do not end... i only hope they know how much i appreciate them...
my in-laws... i know i only usually blog about them when i'm not happy with them or something but they really are good to us... they have helped us out too...
my friends... on days when i'm down all it usually takes is for one friend to say that one thing, whatever it may be, and my spirits are lifted, so to say...
i am truly thankful for everyone that is in my life... i know that they are meant to be there, for whatever reason it may be... this is my tribute to you...

update on some of the "challenges"...
my father-in-law got my leaky car fixed... turns out there is a tube at each corner of the sunroof that collects water- from the holes in the sunroof or something(?) - that drain down into each wheel well... the one going to my drivers side back wheel well wasn't even draining down into the wheel well but was also crimped and when the water backed up in the tube it just leaked (poured) into my car... ok, so that's taken care of...
the unemployment situation... r called them and gave them a verbal statement... he said that he told them everything... that he was trying to help her save face in a small town by saying that she was let go because she was unreliable... but her told her that he was really firing her because she was stealing, she knew her friends were stealing but didn't say anything, she was never on time, always calling in, blah, blah, blah... i could go on and on... r did a great job, a much better job than i could have done and i am really grateful that he took care of that situation... now the workforce commission has to contact her or make a decision i think.... i'm not sure though... (we did get the address situation with them cleared up...that was a difficult situation to correct...)

a really nice unexpected surprise- i had to go to the store after work (after i picked my car up!!) and then came home... i pulled up to the house and was like, dang, the house looks good... what's different? the grass was mowed (and bagged) and edged!! that has been on my to-do list for several weeks now but daddy came over and did the front yard today and him and momma are coming back tomorrow to do the back yard... that is so much of a stress relief... they are so wonderful!!

things are going so good right now... i feel like everything is going so great.... we hit a rough patch but we struggled thru it and now everything is getting better and better... i am so confident of r and i right now and i am so excited about what our future holds... it is amazing now but it is going to be even more amazing!!
