Texas Lou

Good morning and happy Monday! I’ve got a lot to be grateful for today!

1. I am grateful that we got to spend 25 days in Texas with family! I am extra grateful to my mom for hosting us and helping watch the boys while we worked. It felt almost like we lived in Texas and we got to see so many family and friends and help my sister celebrate a baby shower for her second baby.
2. I am so thankful that school is starting this week and that my kiddos will be back in a routine. I am also thankful for what feels like it may be a more normal school year after almost 2 and a half years of chaos and confusion.
3. I am thankful for my best friend and all of her love, support, confidence, and humor. She sets an amazing example for me of what a great friend, sister, daughter, mother, and wife is.
4. I am thankful for my uncles and the fact that my mom lives so close to them. I know their parents, my grandparents, are so proud looking down on them at the relationships that have and have built.
5. I am grateful for learning. I have learned so much over the past 3 years and know I am a better person because of it.

Wishing you a happy and grateful day!
