Holy moly it has been so extremely long. Oy. It's going to take me forever to type this blog post, I already know it. So....I'll just get going on it....here we go....
#165...I am thankful for my bike! I get to ride it to work now, and it's so fun! Haha. It's fun not to have to pay for gas as often, and it's fun to just ride my bike. Because let's face it...I'm seriously obsessed with bike riding. My poor husband gets hauled out the door about every night to go on a bike ride...no matter what time it is. Sure do appreciate his "willingness".
#166...I am thankful for CPR training. Yes...because with CPR training comes training on what to do with a choking person. Because of this a teacher saved me years ago, and I got the chance to be the teacher to save a child. It was scary, but thank goodness I was trained and knew what to do.
#167...I am thankful for chicken. I'm sure I've mentioned this one before because I am seriously obsessed with chicken, it's just so good! And lean. And, oh man, I just love it!
#168...I am thankful for those who give advice and their words of wisdom. I really do appreciate it, honestly, truly. My favorite "words of wisdom" came from Shannon...and that was that Kohn and I are now married, we're big kids, and we can make our own decisions. Kind of scary, but it was good to hear that we are "big kids". ;)
#169...I am thankful for Zeek Rewards. It's some business thing that Kohn found, and we're going to make good money from it, no doubts, and I'm just excited.
#170...I am thankful for people willing to work with you. Especially when you don't have the money for it. I think it is just awesome that some people are willing to figure out a discount for you, so that the opportunity can be in your grasp.
#171...I am thankful for nice people. I just plain old love nice people. They make me happy.
#172...I am thankful for eye drops. Eye drops that work. Even if they slightly sting for the first few seconds. I've had some issue with my eye for forever it seems. And my doctor thinks she figured it out. So here's hoping the eye drops really will work.
#173...I am thankful for dinner. I say this because our dinner is cooking and it smells ridiculously good.
#174...I am thankful for you if you are still reading this. Sorry, I fell so far behind so I'm just kind of being random and trying to get caught up now.
#175...I am thankful for summer holidays. It's always nice to look forward to days that you know you are getting off work, on a summer day, because of a holiday! :) Oh joys!
#176...I am thankful for lists. Lists save my life. I love checking things off and knowing I've gotten things done. I feel accomplished.
#177...I am thankful for my cute husband. I know I've said that ONE time and time again. But it's just so true. And I love him lots. K, thanks.
Well....now that I'm caught up....I'm going to go enjoy my dinner with my cute hubs. K bye.

The Bug Spray Dude
Oh days off are so wonderful. So so wonderful. Except the apartment is clean, I have done my run plus some, and I am all ready for the day...now what to do? I hate that when I have a lot to do I just sit around with no energy...but now I'm sitting around doing nothing...and I wish there was something to do. Of course it would work out that way though. No bueno. Oh well. The chill time is always needed. So...I think I might possibly go weed the garden...possibly. So I'll be thankful really quick before the desire to be productive goes away.
#161...I am thankful for clothes. For millions of reasons. One definitely being because clothes cover nakedness. I wish all people would take advantage of clothes...
#162...I am thankful that I know my schedule for the next week, the week before. That way I can make doctors appointments without any problems...and it's also nice that my schedule changes some times so I don't always go into work super early in the morning. There is a day next week that I don't go in until 1. It's nice having my morning to get things done around here. And I still make great money.
#163...I am thankful for the bug spray dude. He sprayed our apartment yesterday, so hopefully that should be the end of all the yucky ants and such.
#164...I am thankful for good prices. I was shopping for dresses yesterday, because mine are too short for g's...still...so I was looking for more. Anyway, I felt guilty always buying stuff for me...so I went and found a shirt that I knew Kohn would love (and he did by the way) and it was only $7! Yay for TJ Maxx. I probably could have got that shirt at Pac Sun for like $20.
Anyways...I think I will go be productive now. I haven't seen how bad the garden is...Kohn says I'll be surprised. We'll see how long I'll last...wish me luck. And everyone have a fabulous Wednesday.

Every Life Has a Story....If We Bother to Read It.
And here I am again...thinking of how to justify why I haven't blogged for so long...but I'm not going to justify it. I'm just going to cut to the chase and be thankful...so that I can go enjoy my lazy date night with my hubs...here we go...
#156...I am thankful for how "cheap" it is to fill our new car with gas. Gas of course is not cheap...but filling this car up is much cheaper than our other. So that is always a plus! I put gas in yesterday and it was almost empty, but it still only cost me $39...I don't know about you, but I thought it was impressive. Especially since I'm comparing it to what we were spending before.
#157...I am thankful for bug spraying people. We have nasty ants and such that crawl out of our corners at night. Luckily, we are having the place sprayed on Tuesday. It can't get here soon enough. We have been dealing with it though in the mean time...vinegar kills them, just so you know. But it doesn't keep them from coming back.
#158...I am thankful for nature. Today we went on a hike and it completely made my day. It was beautiful, the fresh air felt amazing...other than the huge gusts of wind when we were on the edge of the cliff ;) but it really was awesome. I also discovered that hiking through nature is good for my soul. I got a lot off my chest and Kohn and I had a good chat...he even said "Where is this girl coming from? I don't remember marrying her, but I like it" or something to that effect...according to him I am making good progress with things in my life that needed progress.
#159...I am thankful for a few words that were said at a meeting at work the other day. The lady showed the Chick-fil-a video about how every life has a story. And crazy as it may seem, the fast food restaurant video really touched me. I think it's called "Every Life Has A Story" it's definitely worth your time! And it makes you think about how you treat every single person you come in contact with. And we don't always even know the "story" of those we think we know best.
#160...I am thankful for lazy date nights with the hubs. I am sure I've mentioned this one before. But I really do just love them so much! We pull the "hide-a-bed" out and we get redbox movies and junk food and just relax. It's nice and definitely one of my favorite things to do.
Our pizza is cooking right now, that's why I have time to do this...very quickly. But I figured I would catch up while I could, before I got even more behind. But here is that link to that Chick-fil-a video...seriously...check it out. Just because it's good.

"Well then, you're ready."
Life is so crazy, busy with work, baseball, running, family, etc, and the list goes on and on! But it's a good thing. It's oh so good! I have so much to be thankful for and we are so blessed! This post won't be hard to write at all. Because I've got a list of things on my mind that I am beyond thankful for. So I'll just get right to it...
#150...I am thankful that my shin splints only hurt after I'm done running. Silly thing to be thankful for? I think not. They only hurt for a few hours after my run, and they are ridiculously painful, but then the pain is just gone. It's not there when I wake up in the morning, and I don't really feel it during my run at all. Which is awesome.
#151...I am thankful for all the accepting and kind people at Best Friends. As you all know I'm quite shy and it takes a while for me to warm up to people, and some times, well most of the time, people perceive that to be "snobbishness". And it's really totally not!!! So I'm really just thankful that everyone was so kind and friendly from the very first second. It made it a lot easier for me to not be quite as shy and to feel so comfortable.
#152...I am thankful, SO thankful, for the words that came out of my mother's mouth the other night..."Well then, you're ready." It's always great to know you have support from someone, especially your mom. So thanks mom, those simple words really meant a lot to me :)
#153...I am thankful for testimony meeting. And I really love it when I get to hear my hubs bear his testimony. He went up yesterday, and he just has this way with words that blows me away. He's incredible and I am one lucky girl!
#154...I am thankful for the way my in-laws raised Kohn! The did a great job and I am blessed because of their hard work....because I'm sure it was very HARD work ;) He really is an amazing person, and he learned it from his parents!
#155...I am thankful for good books. I don't read much, only because I don't have much time to do so. But lately, since I finally have time for me, I have been reading again. And I love diving into a good book and just getting lost in it!
I've missed blogging, and it's only been a few days, and I'm sure it'll probably be a few days again before I post again...but nonetheless, it felt good to blog right now! But now, Kohn needs me. He left his baseball stuff in the trunk of the car I drive...so I best be getting to Smithfield to get that to him. And then I get to sit at the field for a half hour before the game starts...maybe I'll read a good book while I wait :)
