Thankful Thursday 3/15/12

I don't normally do Thankful Thursday posts. It isn't because I am not thankful. It isn't because I don't have anything to be thankful for. It's basically because a lot of the Thankful Thursday posts I see out there (not yours, Cami) come across as bragging. I truly don't want to be one of those type of posters, because quite frankly, it becomes less about being thankful and more about bragging. However, I am working on giving myself a physical and emotional makeover, so forcing myself to come up with 5, non-braggy, things to be thankful for each week is a good idea to keep some prospective, no?

1. Playing Wii Fit with my hubs last night.
    After going for a long walk with Max yesterday afternoon to the park and back, I was feeling really peppy. So after dinner last night, Vance and I turned the Wii Fit on multiplayer mode and had some fun while burning some calories. Then I signed into my account and we played some other games that aren't offered in multiplayer, but are still fun. We had a really great time, but I had a hard time going to bed after that since I was so pumped up. Ha!

2. The GORGEOUS weather this week!
   Its been upper 70's-lower 80's all week and is forecasted to keep going. This is my favorite kind of weather. It isn't too hot or too cool. I can wear yoga/gaucho capris, a tshirt, and a hoodie in the AM and then remove the hoodie later in the day. I'm wearing flip flops today, too. The sun is warm and bright! Love it!

3. My Hubs
   We have great conversations. I'm not afraid to be honest with him about anything and everything. He trusts me, and I greatly appreciate that. He respects me. He's a good listener and doesn't try to "fix things" unless I ask him to help. I love him. I cherish him. He is my Earthly rock.

4. Max
   That kid is a HOOT. He says hilarious stuff. He does hilarious stuff. He love learning. He loves singing and dancing. He is saying SO many words now, repeats the alphabet and numbers, can recognize that M-A-X says Max and will bring me the letter M magnet upon request, he knows most of his shapes (rectangles are still called boxes for some reason) and he knows every animal sound and name, including crazy ones! He constantly requests "tickles" and "cheekers." (Tickles is when he wants me to tickle him. Cheekers is when I zerbert his cheeks. I told him I was getting his cheekers, so now he calls that cheekers!)

5. Getting a new phone!
   At the end of February, I became eligible for my full "New Every 2" upgrade from Verizon. I need to make a decision by tonight, though. I need to decide if I'm going with the iphone 4 or iphone 4s. Anyone have any suggestions?? I can't decide! It's a $50 difference for me, so either is manageable as far as finances go, but the cheapest model of both phones have a couple of differences that are a semi0big deal to me. (1. 8GB memory in 4, 16GB memory in 4s. 2. 5MP camera in 4, 8MP camera in 4s.) Siri isn't a deciding factor to me, although she'd be cool to have. I don't know. Any suggestions? Experiences? Comments? Help a sista out!

    1. Of course I don't think yours is braggy...hence what I wrote to you in parentheses! :-)

      I've decided to get the 4. It's only $50 for me with my upgrade and I still have money leftover to buy an Otterbox case to protect it!

      I actually have to work all day, Saturday, but I took the day off on Sunday, so yay for pretty weather!

      Vance DOES make me happy. I adore him!

  2. Well, if we are bragging ON GOD, that's quite alright! ;-D And good for you on working on the Wii Fit! I am so terrible at most of those exercises! I'll stick to my T-tapping. ;-D

  4. I loved doing my Thankful Thursday posts! It really helps to brighten you attitude to remind yourself of what you have to be thankful for! I've been meaning to start mine again.

    I really liked yours! Hope to see you Sunday. One worship service and no Sunday School this week.

  5. this is a great list... and i loved what you said in the beginning of your post... a gentle reminder to always check my heart and motives for WHY i am thankful. and i vote for the iPhone 4S... only because i think it would be fun to ask Siri random questions. it sounds like if the $50 extra bucks isn't a big deal that's the way you should go. thanks for linking up!!

    1. Thanks for the compliments!

      I ended up going with the 4 because it ended up being $53 total! The 4s would've been $150+.

      Thanks for hosting the link-up! :-)
