Thankful Tuesday

I am beyond blessed. I also think it's important for people to share the things they are thankful for. That is why I do Thankful Tuesday. It's one day a week where I specifically think about five things I am thankful for. If you are interested in joining in, just leave me a link in the comments so I can read yours. =) Here are five things I am thankful for this week:
  1. I am thankful for the hard work and planning that Stephen put into his proposal. It was an unforgettable day and I am so grateful to have that memory. I also appreciate that he was thoughtful of my taste and what I liked when choosing the ring. It is just perfect and I am enjoying showing it off. 
  2. I am thankful for my best friend. She was a big part of helping Stephen plan my engagement. I love that she was able to be a part of it. Made it that much more special. The fact that she kept it secret was amazing (if you knew her, you would be amazed too!). 
  3. I am thankful for my family's acceptance. Stephen was able to meet a few family members (aunts) and also spend some time with my mom, dad and siblings. It is amazing to have them all get along and like being around each other. Stephen and my brother have actually become friends so that's nice. I am also thankful that my parents were willing to let us stay at their house and invade all their space. The girls, myself and Stephen all stayed the entire week with them and never once did they complain. 
  4. I am thankful to have two wonderful church families. Not only do I have my church family in Idaho, but my "home" church family is still very supportive of me and the girls. I love it! 
  5. I am thankful for the time I got to spend with my family. This is the first time in years I have had a sit down conversation with my brother in years and it was wonderful! I also got to know his sweet daughter a bit more, she is beyond fun, 15 months old and non stop! 
What is one thing you are thankful for?

  3. You sound like you are truly in a good place Betsy and I'm so happy for you!

    Are you in the mood to answer some questions? I was nominated for a Liebster Award and have, in turn, nominated you. Check out my blog for your questions if you dare ;) (don't worry, they're not that hard, lol)

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
