Grateful!

I have been thinking a lot lately about how blessed we have been and I want to share with you some of the things that I am grateful for!
I am so grateful for Sean. He is such a wonderful husband and my best friend. He works so hard at school and at work to take care of our little family! He is my best friend and I am looking forward to all the years we have to spend together!
I am also grateful for both of our families! Both of our parents are so wonderful and have been so helpful and supportive of us. We constantly look to them for guidance and advice! Our brothers and sisters (including in-laws!) are great! I married into a great family and am grateful for the friendship and relationships that I have developed with Sean’s family. They are all such a joy in our lives!
Lately I have realized just how guided our lives have been. The past few months we have had to make a lot of decisions that will affect our future. We knew we were going to eventually end up in DC but had no idea when. We didn’t know about jobs, housing, money etc. Looking back we have really been able to see how God has guided our lives. When we came back here, we had a hard time finding housing. We finally were able to find something that was a great deal without a contract which was perfect for us, not knowing when we were going to leave. I looked for a job for three months without any luck, now I found something to keep me busy and that will end at the end of the year. Everything that has seemed like a trial has really ended up a blessing, enabling us to go back to DC at the end of the year. I am just so grateful for everything that has seemed hard, but has turned out to be a blessing! It makes me really excited for the future! Bring it on!!!
