Okay, let me start by saying this week was awful. Probably one of the worst I've had in a while. Thing after thing kept going wrong. I won't elaborate, but it hasn't been a fun week. So, why you ask is the title of this blog called The Things I Love? It was one of those moments that I was feeling depressed about all the sad/bad things in life and then I looked around and started noticing all the good things that I have in my life. I just wanted to list a couple of those things.
I love that though Alex may get sick and I worry to death about him, he will still ask me to hold and cuddle with him to make him feel better. I love that I have a loving husband that will let me cry in his arms and not question my motives. I love that even though I can only cook a few great meals, Ryan and Alex still get excited when I make their favorite... Manicotti. I love that Alex can't wait for his Daddy to get home so he can play Star Wars with him. Even though I wake up with a sore back, I love that Alex will come get in bed with us when he has bad dreams. I love that even though Ryan is 29 and I am 26, we still LOVE listening to Weird Al Yankovic and that Alex has learned most of the lyrics to White and Nerdy!! I love that even though we may never get pregnant again, we may have the ability to raise a child and have them sealed to us through adoption. I love that I have amazing friends to turn to when good or bad things happen. And I love that even though my family has been through A LOT in the past little while, we can lean on each other for support.

I could probably go on for a long time, but it sure helps put things in perspective when you write out all the wonderful things that you have. Here are a few pictures that kind of go along with some of the things I love...
It may not look great, but we all love the Manicotti
I make.

Yes, this is actually Weird Al. We have been to two of his concerts.
This guy is amazing!

What an awesome post! I am so lucky to be blessed with such an amazing friend who helps me keep life in the right perspective. Here's to a new (and hopefully happier) week!
This was so sweet. It's true, there are so many things around us to love and be thankful for. You are so lucky to have such a sweet son and a loving husband:)
