The sun

I was so tired last night, I literally fell asleep while was setting my alarm. I use my phone as my alarm. I remember opening the alarm app on my phone and thinking about what time I needed to wake up. And apparently that's as far as I got! Luckily, the sun was up early this morning and woke me up. I had to get ready super fast and I was a little late to work, but I'm thankful I woke up when I did. I'm also thankful that I had an extra phone charger I could take to work. I didn't get around to charging my phone last night either!

Jareds Birthday

I spent the afternoon and the evening with Jared and his family. It's Jared's birthday. I'm thankful I could spend some time with him. I'm thankful he invited me to come to his birthday dinner with his family. It's been fun.

Late check out

I had to fly home from New York today. Sad face. Our flight didn't leave until 7:00pm. I'm thankful we were able to get a late check-out at the hotel. It allowed us to be able to enjoy our last day in the city without having to lug our stuff around. It also allowed us be able to pack the things we purchased today (yay for purses on Canal Street!) and change into comfy clothes to fly home. It was a great weekend! I'm thankful I was able to go on this short vacation! It was a blast!!

The Subway

I figured out the NYC Subway system. I've ridden the subway plenty of times in the city, but always with someone else leading the way. Today Krista and I found ourselves alone to navigate the city. I'm thankful we were able to figure it out and get to the places we wanted to get to without getting (too) lost! I really love NYC!!

A limo

I rode in a limo for the first time today! In New York City!! We took a red eye flight last night and arrived in NYC early this morning after jus a couple hours of awful sleep on an air plane. When we got to the airport, we were tired. Our friend Heather (who has planned most of our trip) called ahead of time to reserve us a shuttle and found out it was only a few dollars more to get a limo instead. It was an awesome surprise! I'm thankful for the limo. I'm thankful Heather surprised us. We needed that little boost to get going again so we could enjoy our day in the city!

A Pool Operator Certificate

As part of the process when I got my new job, I had to make a commitment that I would attend a Certified Pool Operator course within 6 months of being hired. I was stressed about this course. I'm a pretty good student and I pick up on things pretty quickly most of the time. But I've never had any experience managing a pool! I spent the last 2 days in the class and today I passed the test (93% - not too shabby)!! I'm thankful to be past that hurdle! I will be thankful when I get my new certificate. They spelled my name wrong on the certificate they gave me today.

Late nights laughing

Tonight I'm thankful for my roommates. We stayed up way past my bedtime talking and laughing. I'm thankful to have those girls in my life. Tonight was the last time we'll get to do that with Emily. She's moving out this weekend. While the selfish side of me wants her to stay here with us, I know she's doing what's best for her. I'm proud of her and the progress she's making in her life. I will miss her! I'm thankful that I was lucky enough to get to have her as a roommie this long!!
