So I have Raina and Sarah to thank for giving me this idea. I love reading about the small things in life that help them get through each day and week. Right now with Joey being gone I tend to find myself being more negative then usual. I am hoping this will help me focus more on the positive things going on our lives.
1. Joey~ I am so grateful to have in my life. He is a hero and I am so incredibly blessed to not only have him as my husband but as my best friend as well!
2. I love coming home everyday to Duke. I am so grateful that I don't have to come home to an empty house every night. Instead I come home to a very energetic dog who no matter what is always happy to see me! He gives me something to do and gets me out of the house even when I would rather just hide in bed all day. He has no idea how much he is loved and just how important he is to us. Can't imagine life without him.
3. Our families~who are far away but are constantly checking in with me making sure I am okay. I look forward to their phone calls everyday even when they are really short. Having their support means the world to me!
4. My weekly cards from Joey's mom just letting me know that they are thinking and praying for me. Love them!
5. Work~I am so grateful that I am able to go to work everyday and stay busy. Not only do I get to work with amazing kids, but I have made such great friends who have helped me in more ways then they will ever know!
6. Waking up or coming home to an email from Joey! During the week this is our only form of communication because our schedules are so different with the time change. It usually makes my day. I don't think he even realizes just how important those emails are to me, even when they are super short, all that matters is that I have heard from him!

I have lots to be thank-full for, even during a time like this when Joey and are separated. It definitely sucks that he is not here, but we are getting through it together by staying strong for each other and with lots of support from our families and friends.
