Grateful Wednesday!

Happy Happy Wednesday!

1. My Grandfather

Today marks 25 years of my Grandfather being ordained a deacon. I can't even begin to fully comprehend all the reasons why I am so grateful for him. He has taught me my faith (how does one put that into words) - not just faith but a pure wonderful example of a holy, faithful loving man. He gave me a perfect example of exactly what I wanted in a husband and a father of my children one day. He has shown me how to truly love someone on this earth regardless of anything and everything. He has given me the love of travel, baseball and most importantly family. Obviously, I could go on and on for another page of everything he has taught me and given me - that is why I am so grateful for such an absolutely amazing, faithful, loving grandfather.

2. Lee Lee

Alright so two of my gratefuls this Wednesday are family. It just so happens that it is also my aunt, godmother and a best friend, Lee Lee's birthday today! She is my second mother - you know the one when you get in trouble by your parent that you cry for instead (yeah it was either I want Lee Lee or I want to go to Grandmother and Grandads- I was such a little brat) anywho - Lee Lee - She is an amazing woman - a mother of 5 (6 if you include me, which she usually does) children, faithful, caring and kind...very very kind. I spent many days with her and I am so very grateful to have such a wonderful role model in my life. 

3. Baseball!

Now that I have gotten all the mushy gushy out of my system we can move to, ya know, little things I am grateful for. :) Yay baseball - never, in my many of years spending spring breaks at spring training, would I ever think I would be grateful for baseball - but yep here I am excited to go to my first (so disappointing that it is just now my first) Rangers game of the season tomorrow night. I can't wait! This last spring break I learned how to keep score. I had the best teachers anyone could have - my Grandfather (yeah you already know quite a bit about that amazingness), my Grandmother (who spent many many days watching my Grandfather play, then watching him coach all of their boys as they played ball), and my mom (who also watched many of games). Needless to say I can't wait for tomorrow to get my scorecard out, wear my Rangers hat and hear those sweet words "let's play ball"

4. Movie nights with my Hubby

Last night my husband and I watch Crazy Stupid Love and I must admit I really liked it! I love those nights of just laying in bed watching a happy movie with the pups and being so grateful for everything around you. That was exactly my night last night.

5. My little rascals!  

Speaking of my pups, how about these two little rascals - aren't they the best?!
