Day Nineteen. January 31, 2012. Tuesday.

I am grateful for Sammy's health. I've been reading some blogs and also know a few parents who are going through a very rough battle with their kids health right now. It breaks my heart to see and read about these little angles who are going through radiation, chemo, and surgeries. I cannot explain why these things happen, but I know God's plans are always perfect.

DAy Eighteen. January 30, 2012. Monday.

This is my boss Richard at our wedding. He's a lot of fun! 

It's the beginning of the week... I am thankful I have a job. But most of all, I am grateful for my boss. He is a good man with a big heart. I admire how much love he has for people.  Thank you for letting me bring Sammy to work when she doesn't have school, for treating me with respect and kindness, for understanding the highs and lows in my life and for being my friend. I am blessed. 

Day Seventeen. January 29, 2012. Sunday.

Today was a beautiful day. I still can't believe I am married to this wonderful family. I am so blessed. We had a yummy lunch with Mom and Pops. It's always a pleasure when they visit. I absolutely enjoyed it. Thank you mom and pop for making me feel like a "daughter" again. I miss my parents everyday, but you guys make it easier for me. I love you!

Day Sixteen. January 28, 2012. Saturday.

She loves him. I love him. He loves me. He loves her.

I will be thanking you everyday of my life, for everything that you do for me and for loving us this much. But today, I thank you for making me feel safe.

Day Fifteen. January 27, 2012. Friday.

This picture was taken during our honeymoon in Puerto Vallarta. In my 10 years of living here, I have never taken a vacation like this. I reminisce about this at least once a week. I am grateful I was able to finally go to a special place like this, with my special person.  

Day Fourteen. January 26, 2012. Thursday.

Today we meet with our small group. Although we've only been a "group" for a few weeks, I am blessed to have them in my life. New friendship with great people. I'm excited!

Day Thirteen. January 25, 2012. Wednesday.

I am grateful for getting sweet kisses like this ....

and this....

every morning! Starting my day right! 

Day Twelve. January 24, 2012. Tuesday.

I don't get much of this so I am extremely grateful whenever I get my "me time". Thank you hubby for being so good to me. And for knowing exactly what I need. 

Day Eleven. January 23, 2012. Monday.

Weeeee! I finally have enough money saved to buy my lust!!! Grateful for brithday and Christmas money. I'm super excited! As many of you know, I have stopped using credit cards for 2 year now. I learned how to live on a budget (well, I didn't really have a choice when I was a single mom). Besides the fact that it's so freeing to not have credit card debt, it also made me feel more in control of my money instead of my money controlling me. Yey me!

Day Ten. January 22, 2012. Sunday

CBMY. I am grateful for having great friends. I run to them for great advice or just a shoulder to cry on. I am blessed with matured, smart and loving support system. 

Day Nine. January 21, 2012. Saturday.

He makes everything easier for me. Thank you hun for always helping out with the household chores. 

Day Eight. January 20, 2012. Friday.

Our neighborhood. Our home. Everyday I get to see this piece of God's beautiful creation. We are truly blessed. 

Day Seven. January 19, 2012. Thursday

It's a lot easier to forgive than to hold grudges. So today, I am grateful for my forgiving heart. I know I am not better than anybody. I make mistakes.. (a lot), but God continues to forgive and love me. I am Blessed. 

Day Six. January 18, 2012. Wednesday.

We have them to look up to. They are our role models. Whenever I wonder how Brent and I are going to be when we "grow up", I look at them and smile. I am blessed with wonderful parents-in-law. Thank you for my husband Mom and Pop!

Day Five. January 17, 2012. Tuesday.

Feeling like a hero. I love that all I need to do is hold her hand to make her feel safe. I can't explain how wonderful it is to be able to give exactly what she needs. Grateful indeed. 

Day Four. Monday. January 16, 2012.

Day off with my Sammy. I love watching her be a mom to her baby dolls. It shows me how i am with her. And since I work full time and she goes to school full day, i appreciate days like this.

Day Three. Sunday. January 15, 2012.

Hearing the best news there is every Sunday and to be able to apply it everyday (Well, I try...). I am grateful I found my church. It keeps me focused to God and not to the world.  

Day Two. Saturday. January 14, 2012.

Having him in my life. Thank God for pretty boys with huge hearts. He is absolutely perfect for me. My husband. 

Day One. Friday. January 13, 2012.

My daughter's happiness. Just seeing her smile makes my day. I don't think she'll ever know how MUCH I love her. It's just not possible.
