GC Day 3

today I'm grateful for:
1. my ipod so that i can fake read pretty much anytime and anywhere.  I just finished the first book of Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson (took me about 3 days) and I really loved it.  I started on book 2 this evening.

2. Our new city.  I love where we live! I just went on a really great run.  I used to hate running but it's hard to hate when you've got a good book to listen to and a beautiful place to run.  The area where we live is half suburban half rural and yet all the shopping I need is merely 5 minutes away.  Hello, Costco 2 minutes away from my house!

3.  Mark's parents--for everything they do for us but specifically for buying Maren a children's museum pass for her birthday.  I wasn't sure if I liked it at first because I really loved the museum in Cleveland.  But every time we go (once/week) I love it more and more.  Not only do my kids love it but it's pretty entertaining for me too!

4.  A quiet house--ALL THREE kids are asleep right now.  amazing.

5.  Laura Bir.  I've mentioned her before but she is my friend who I met in Cleveland who moved to Grand Rapids a year before we did.  It's so nice to have good friends who live near by so that they can drop in on you in the morning when you are still in your underwear.  yes, that happened this morning. :)
