The latest trend on Facebook is for people to post everyday what they're thankful for. I don't want to flood Facebook with daily updates, so I decided I'll do it on here instead.
Day 1 - I'm thankful for my amazing husband. We've been through A LOT in the past year and he's been by my side through it all. I'm lucky to have him in my life.
Day 2 - I'm thankful for the support of my family and friends as we go through this whole IVF thing. We had a pretty big setback this week, and I was amazed at how supportive everyone was. My student teacher brought me a bottle of wine the day after I found out we were going to have to cancel our cycle. A former student's mom (who has also been through IVF) left me a super sweet card and Starbucks gift card in my mailbox one morning. And my good friend Kara sent me a card all the way from South Carolina with some encouraging words. People have shared kind words, prayers, and hugs with me...and all of these things have helped me through this tough time.
Day 3 - I'm thankful for my alma mater. We got to go to Manhattan for the KSU vs. OSU game and had a blast. I've always been proud to be a wildcat, but this year that pride has been taken to a whole new level.
Day 4 - Despite all the medical bills that are piling up for us right now, I am thankful that James and I both have good jobs that are allowing us to be able to pay for IVF. It's so tragic that some people never get the opportunity to be parents because they are in similar situations as us but cannot afford the treatment. We are very fortunate for this to be an option for us.
Day 5 - I'm thankful for the snuggly pup that's keeping my feet warm right now. Kahlua's had some health problems this past year and I'm just really grateful she's still with us. Hopefully she has many more years ahead of her!
Day 6 - I'm thankful for Happy Hour. Good drinks, good food, and good quality time with friends. Nothing beats that!
Day 7 - I'm thankful for my sisters and that we can talk on the phone for hours!
