Brenley's Gratitudes #63-100!

#63-64 - I told dad, Lexi, Chelsea, and Emily that I was grateful they were willing to accomodate my need for soft food and went to KFC with me. :)

#65 - I am grateful for insurance. It has helped us to be able to afford many things we would not normally be able to. (Fertility treatments, Hospital visits, Braces, etc)

#66 - I am grateful for my orthodontist- his office and staff is AWESOME!

#67 - I'm grateful to have braces so I can feel more confident about my smile! (...after they're off anyway haha)

#68 - I am grateful that our church has LDS Family Services to help members out with many different things at more affordable prices.

#69 - I am grateful Eric and I took a big step forward in starting the adoption process so we can become certified and hopefully adopt a baby soon!

#70 - I am grateful for the outpouring of love and support Eric and I received when we announced that we were starting the adoption process- not only from family and close friends, but strangers and people we don't know too well. So many people are excited for us and rooting for us and it is very touching to see!

#71 - I am grateful that I was able to lose 2lbs in less than a week since starting the Herbalife shakes.

#72 - I am grateful that the Herbalife shakes taste good- making it more enjoyable to eat them!

#73 - I am so grateful for the energy and good feelings I got from drinking shakes this week. I have felt really good overall!

#74 - I am grateful that Eric still thinks I'm cute with braces.

#75 - I am grateful for the temple and the happiness and peace I feel whenever I attend.

#76 - I'm grateful that the Moody's sold their house!

#77 - I am grateful for (usually) good and open communication in our family. Mom and I argued yesterday and were frustrated with each other, but we were able to talk it out today and understood where each other was coming from and apologize. Its nice to be able to talk about things openly without it being awkward and a big deal.

#78 - I am grateful for the cafeteria in the temple. I thought I was going to pass out from starvation today on our way there and the cafeteria saved me! They had mashed potatoes and vegetable soup for me to eat- awesome, since I can't chew right now!

#79 - I'm grateful that dad and I were able to work together to get the credit card paid off that had the expennnnnsive dog hospital bills on there. Its nice to have that payment gone! :)

#80 - I am grateful that I have been and felt more positive this week- negativity sucks the life out of me.

#81 - I am grateful that Presley has been learning to go on walks without a leash and is doing pretty good at listening!

#82 - I am sooo grateful for air conditioning! It is freaking hotttttt outside!

#83 - I am grateful for the chat Rylee and I had this week. I think I was able to help her feel a little bit better about herself and help her self-confidence. She seemed like she really just needed someone to talk to and I was able to sense that and we had a really good talk.

#84 - I am grateful for Eric's patience. He needs it putting up with and being married to me!

#85 - I am grateful that Eric's parents will be moving down here and getting out of Joseph City. I think it will help them so much and it will be nice to have them so close!

#86 - I am also grateful that Eric's parents sold their house too!

#87 - I am grateful for the relationship I have with my mother-in-law. She is an amazing, kind, loving woman! I really lucked out in the MIL department!

#88 - I am grateful for Eric's goals. He is driven and has so much he wants to achieve. It inspires me to think bigger and to try harder for things I want to achieve.

#89 - I am grateful for FaceTime. It is fun to call people and be able to talk to them face-to-face when you can't actually do it in person!

#90 - I am grateful that Eric's work has benefits for adoption to help us with some of the expenses. Not every benefit plan has that and we have been very blessed and lucky!

#91 - I am grateful that Eric was with me today when I went to check our friends' dog while they're out of town. There was a freakin huge scary spider there and he killed it for me! :)

#92 - I'm grateful for the hour Eric and I were able to spend just us setting up wedding stuff last night. Being together in the quiet was really nice.

#93 - I'm grateful that Chelsea and I love to sing together in the car. Not everyone is fun to sing with, but it is soooo much fun when we do it!

#94-95 - I told Eric how grateful I was that he drove home last night and for the wedding last week. He doesn't really like driving but he still did!

#96 - I am grateful that we are getting a lot faster at doing wedding set ups and take downs! We really are getting rather good at it.

#97 - I am grateful for the little card things Emily put on mine and Eric's pillows yesterday. She is so funny and cute and loves doing things for people!

#98 - I am grateful that Eric always reaches for my hand in the car. It makes me happy!

#99 - I am grateful for the spiritual oasis the temple is. When you're inside, time seems irrelevant and the world is left outside.

#100 - I am grateful and excited to have earned my first bead!
