Thankful Thursday

It's Thursday and I have been reminded all day by the fact that I have not done a 'Thankful Thursday' post in a couple weeks. So, here goes...

We are thankful for/that:
~ The gorgeous weather that we've had lately and the amazing flowers that are blooming. This truly is a gorgeous time of year with the breath of new life everywhere. We never realized it, but it was the perfect time of year to get married :)
~ Having such good times with our friends lately. What gifts we have in them.
~ Finishing our taxes (VA isn't due till May 1) and getting lots of money back!
~ The time we've been able to spend with Julie while she's been here at UVa.
~ Friends from all over the country that we've been able to stay in close touch with despite our distance.
~ Getting rid of lots of stuff in our house so we will have an easier move.
~ Finding some new playgrounds and parks in the area to go play.
~ The Lord is growing us in trusting Him and we are learning more about his character every day.
~ We only have 2 more rent payments left. Woohoo!
~ That the terrible three's won't last forever. :)
~ That all this training of our children will eventually pay off!
~ Samuel is almost potty trained.
~ A violet of mine finally bloomed for the first time since I got it one year ago at my Blessingway for Joseph. (It was either from Julie or Marilyn. I know you two will be so excited I still have them, so I'm mainly sharing this for you both).
~ Joseph is really doing well communicating his needs which make it so much easier on all of us.
~ Our food co-op started a few weeks ago, and we are back in the swing of fresh produce and meat weekly!
~ Everyone in our family is completely healthy!

Wow, that was a mouthful, I'm sure there's lots more, but that will do for now... I wasn't even in a thankful mood when I started this, but boy does it change your perspective when you can think of at least a dozen things right off the top of your head to be thankful for.

What about you? What are you thankful for?
