Yesterday was rough. Work and then the second meeting of the week with Dr. Young. I did not get home until after 8:00 and was completely worn out. I did not want to do anything, I was done for the day. It was good that Jayson called early from the station because I went to bed at 9:45. It was pretty awesome!

We are friends with this amazing couple that is going on 2 years trying for a baby. She actually had a miscarriage too right before me. It is nice to be able to talk to her about stuff that Jayson just does not quite get. I have really been trying to make the most of everyday and look on the positive side of all situations. So, here is a very short list of some of the things I am thankful for.

• I have discovered a new love of riding bikes. Even though I get really frustrated on some of the rides, it is fun for Jayson, brother, and I to do that together.
• I am thankful I have a husband that shares my love of being outside and being active.
• I will not be huge and pregnant during football season. Jayson and I love going to the games together and some of those games get so hot! Can you tell that football season is on my mind and almost here!
• I will be done with my thesis really soon! Hopefully by October 3.
• I am thankful for great jobs for both Jayson and myself.
• and of course I am thankful for my amazing family!

So far it has been 10 months of patience for me. I am still learning and growing. I am slowly beginning to realize what it really means to be patient. I know that God will never give me more than I can handle and I am getting ready for whatever may come my way!
