5 Reasons I'm Grateful . . .

We moved to New York.

(After reflecting on gratitude and a final push of inspiration from my friend Kristine's post on the subject I decided to start a weekly themed post on gratitude.)

1. I enjoy having four distinct seasons with the activities and weather each brings.  More sunny days doesn't hurt my attitude either. :o)

2. I LOVE getting to see my husband everyday.  Before our move, this was not our reality and I have already begun to take it for granted.

3. We are able to go on little long weekend trips which would otherwise be destination vacations.  So far we have visited Boston, NYC and Washington DC.  We are looking forward to exploring Philadelphia, Montreal and the New England area.

4.  I love my local YMCA!  It is the Hilton of Y's.  They offer pregnancy classes, classes that you can take your kids to and the normal gym facilities and classes.  The military provides free gyms on bases, but because this is such a small command there is no military gym, we get free admission to the Y, which is a double blessing.

5.  I have been blessed to meet wonderful people who have already helped me grow, encouraged and deepened my faith and just made me enjoy myself.  People enter our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime and I enjoy getting to know people for all three.
