365 Grateful days 2 and 3

I skipped January 1st simply due to when I watched the 365 grateful video, but since I was only one day off, I thought I could get away with a retroactive post.



Day #1 January 1st, 2014
I am grateful for the snow, and not just any snow, but the snow in my backyard. The way the snow piles on the evergreens and on the weird but somehow beautiful trellis that lines the deck. I watch it snow from my window. Everyone talks about how cold it is outside, or how miserable the roads are or whatever, but I just think it is beautiful. It makes me wish I had a snowsuit that fit me so I could run outside and play in the snow just like when I was a kid. Snow isn't a menace, it is a winter wonderland. <3

Day #3 January 3rd, 2014
Today, and everyday, I am grateful for my boyfriend Devin. He is truly my best friend and the love of my life. He is the only person I can act like an absolute dork and feel totally comfortable with myself. He's also the person that holds me when I cry and holds my fin when I need to muscle through the gross times. He is so incredibly good to me. He gets up from the couch to make me food when I don't want to. He gives me massages when my shoulders get tense. He drives me everywhere with no question of gas money, even though I know he's strapped for cash. He'll take walks with me even though it is only 12 degrees outside just because I want more steps on my fitibt. He's generous and caring. His family has welcomed me with open arms. He is sweet, and most of all forgiving. I have wanted to break up with him on several occassions, and I know that sounds really bad, but most of the time its because I'm scared of losing him because we'll be fighting so much. I'd rather break up, then have him leave me. But no matter how long it takes, he will always forgive me. He knows I'm going through a rough time, and he knows I don't mean to take it out on him and he knows I'm sorry. I love him so much. He is so good to me. I just want to spend the rest of my life with him. Only the lucky few get to marry such a great dork like this one. :P


('hold my fin' comes from Finding Nemo. The phrase originated from my sister and I. Any time our parents were being embarrassing or we were in a situation we just couldn't handle, she would say 'hold my fin' and we would hold hands)
