Thankful Thursday

Today I'm thankful...

- that Rob received his Iowa license and contract in the mail this week! A weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

- that I received my updated contract in the mail from Ankeny and it was over $1000 higher than the pre-negotiations amount I was quoted, which makes it about $5000 more than what I was making in Shawnee Mission.

- for all my annoying phone calls. The hospital, insurance company, pediatrician office, etc. must hate me, but I've finally determined and confirmed that we will pay WAY less than we were originally planning for everything. As in, $2500 less than Rob budgeted for!

- for all this extra money! Rob has already been scheming ways to spend it ... UH OH.

- that all this time together has strengthened our marriage. I was honestly worried that the incredible stress and close proximity would add extra tension to our situation but the month of June has really turned out to be a God-send. I love having (almost) nothing on the calendar I'm savoring every minute I get to hang out with my best friend!

- for going 5/5 on the newlywed game. I caught a few minutes on TV and when Rob came back in the room I asked him the questions. I already knew my answers and we wiped the floor with those fools! He says it's credit to the fact that I'm so opinionated and aren't shy about letting everyone know. Yep, I do have an opinion about everything. A strong one at that! Either way, we kicked their butts. :)

- that Rob's latest secret surprise came from Etsy. Yes, you read that correctly. He later told me he had to google it to find out what it was and I was relieved. He can be pretty trendy and up-on-things but I think if he knew all about Etsy I would have to be a little worried. You'll all just have to wait until baby's here to find out what it is! Muahahaha
