Oldies but Goodies
Today's array of thankfulness may sound a bit redundant for those who tuned in last year but, as it turns out, even a year later... I'm still very thankful for all of them =).
#14- Have I mentioned how much I love Harry Potter? Seriously, I do believe somewhere during the 5th book I began one of those "I feel like I'm in a relationship with the character they call, Harry". Awkward as it may sound, it's so completely true and my feelings haven't faltered to this day. Although this is a repeat from last year, I do feel it's slightly appropriate to bring it back around again because the final movie was released on DVD last Friday. We now have the complete set of both books and dvd's. Over the next few years I'd also like to build our listening library because nothing makes a road trip more exciting than listening to Jim Dale read these absolutely wonderful stories. So I say, as I've said before, Ms. Rowling, I thank you for your 7 strokes of genius and everything that came tumbling after.
#15- Although I wrote about how thankful I am for Des Moines last year, my love for this place has grown considerably now that Mike and I have claimed a small piece of this city as our own. It was a very hard reality for us to face when we realized Des Moines was the best place for us to be at this point in time. Living here means we are both quite far from every member of our families (immediate and distant) which, in truth, can make us feel lonely from time to time. However, Mike and I realize the life we've built here both individually and together is pretty great. This is the last place we ever thought we'd end up but we can't help but wonder where we'd be without it. Thanks Des Moines
#16- Going home again. As I've grown older and met new people along the way I realize I am among the lucky few who crave going back to my childhood home. Mike feels the same way. This never takes away from the love we have for our home but it's there... the feelings of love, comfort, and unconditional acceptance you just can't replace.
