Grateful Journal 7/5

Today has been a lazy, slow to start day. We really didn't kick into gear here until the evening. Thus, although this will post as Friday (it's techically the wee hours of Friday morning), it's still Thursday in my mind.

Today I'm grateful for the following:
-Sammie driving to Waterloo and back in the dark (a first)
-Two comments on yesterday's blog!! (Thanks Anita and Kelly)
-Pizza Hut pizza for dinner.
-Ice on the front lawn in summer.
-Payton riding in the car to Waterloo with us.
-Andrew riging in the back without a peep about his sister's driving.
-Watching "Music and Lyrics" with Sammie
-Reading AJ's blog about the 4th of July.
-Reading David Crowder's blog.
-Watching the first video from DCB--too funny!!
-Ice cold Mountain Dew
-Rock Star Juiced and Organic yogurt with flax seed for breakfast.
-Sammie's post of 30 secrets on her facebook page.
-An e-mail from Nona.
-Hearing from Bryan.
-Therma-care (heat) for my back--feels so-o-o-o-o good.
-Ice from Market Place
-Reading "Acts of Faith" for today on Forgiveness.
-Plans for tomorrow with Andrew and Sammie.
-A good night's sleep complete with "sweet dreams."
-Coordinating rides for the Chicago trip.
