Today I find myself feeling overwhelmed with thankfulness. God is so good. I have this whole week off of work for the Thanksgiving holiday (I know, amazing!!). So today I had some errands I had to run. Normally this wouldn't fill one's heart with gratitude. The thought of running from place to place, buckling and unbuckling car seats, hungry kids, little boys who miss their nap, little girls who like to antagonize said little boy, you get my point. Most moms cringe at the though of these days, usually I do to. But today I realized that all of the errands that I had to run were because my God has blessed my family so much!!
My first errand was to the bank to make several different deposits. I had to make a deposit for the Pampered Chef party that I just closed out. It was my biggest party yet! I was so excited about the amazing response that I had toward this show!! I also had to deposit my paycheck and Jayson's paycheck. We both have jobs and are able to work. God has provided extra income through The Pampered Chef, and blessed my work through it!! Praise Him!
Then we had to go and do my most favorite errand of the day, we got to submit the first 1/3 of our Home Study paperwork to the agency!!! While I was there, the office manager said that she would call us in a couple of days to schedule our first training and our first meeting with our social worker. But while I was packing up the kids to go, she called me over and said "How about we just get you all scheduled now?" I was so excited!! The training is a week from Saturday, and our meeting is a week from today!! I had to contact my boss and see if I could get the day off and she got right back to me saying that I could! I am so thankful for such a supportive work place. I have been blessed with my job, boss, and coworkers who have all been so excited and supportive of our adoption.
After this we went over and had a good visit with Jayson's grandparents. They are such sweet people who have been a blessing to me. The kids love going to their house and visiting.
Our last errand of the day was to pick up some craft supplies because we have some sweet friends coming over tomorrow for a play date and lunch! These friends are about to finalize on their adoption of their sweet little boy. I am so excited to get to pick her brain about the whole process!! Ava and Ryan are excited to have friends over.
I am ending my evening with one of my friends coming to dinner and having a movie night! We both have a deep love and devotion to good popcorn, so we are going to indulge tonight!!
