Day 21

The journey continues.  No one benefits from my chronic insecurity.  Day in and day out I am focused on making decisions based on what I know to be true about myself and not how I may feel.  I may only be on day 2 of making these conscious decisions, but already I stepped out of my comfort zone and gave it my all...and with confidence.

My 28 thanks:

1. I found what I think will be an amazing florist to do my sister's wedding flowers.

2. I got my teeth cleaned today, they are now squeaky clean.

3. My hygienist told me my teeth are gorgeous.  :)

4. Getting your teeth cleaned is more fun when you have spent two weeks getting to know the hygienists and assistants in the office. 

5. The dental office didn't have mint polish (which I request because the fake fruit flavored stuff is nasty!) so they used vanilla.  It was surprisingly refreshing, not at all terrible and it didn't gag me.  Yay!

6. Both my MIL and FIL had birthdays this week!  I have been blessed with the best in-laws ever!  It is such a blessing to be a part of their family.

7. My Stars girls are so full of life.  They are precious and I love teaching them!

8. Kind words of encouragement from friends.

9. Compliments!  I am hard on myself and I expect others to be hard on me too.  Compliments are good for the soul. 

10. My friend and teaching assistant, Amy, helps me so much.  She makes class more fun.  I can say random stuff in class and I can count on her to laugh. 

11. Leftovers made dinner easy and no one complained.

12. My three year olds are going to keep me busy this year, they have big personalities!

13. My 1st and 2nd grade ballet class went very smoothly. 

14. Zachary enjoyed his first soccer practice even though he left his water bottle at the dance studio.

15. My aunt celebrated her birthday on the 29th!  She is far from home and her kids as she lives with my grandpa to help take care of him and I know it is hard on her at times.  I am so blessed that she has been in my life in a greater capacity for a couple of years.

16. Moore is getting a Dairy Queen for the first time since the old one closed in 1998!  Too bad they won't still have their Dennis the Menace cups they used to use.  :)

17. Zachary enjoys watching old episodes of Goof Troop.  He laughs and laughs.  I love the sound of his laugh.

18. The Hillsong United CD Zion.  I have listened to it non stop since buying it two weeks ago. 

19. I love to listen to worship while I am working out...it really does keep me moving.

20. 5 day weekends!

21. The kids want nothing more than to spend the night with Grammy and Poppy.  I love that the love their grandparents.

22. I got in on the big soap sale at Bath and Body Works.  I love their fall scented soaps.

23. Zachary got to play at the play place at Sooner Mall.  He is almost to big. :(

24. Matt gets to spend part of his long weekend with friends. 

25. I laughed so hard at Duck Dynasty I almost cried.

26. Matt has a good job.

27. He supports me 100% as I pursue dental hygiene school.

28. It's only 2 months (and a couple of days) till my sister's wedding!
