It's Friday and I'm grateful!!

aka Grateful Fridays lol. So what am I particularly grateful for this week?

I am incredibly grateful that I just got a second part time job. We really really needed me to get this second job, and on top of being pretty well paying, and having possibilities for a raise, it is a job which has a potential to be a good training grounds (as a waitress), and will hopefully be interesting. I'm starting as a counter server at Saul's, a local jewish deli. If I do well, I'll be trained for table service. And goodness knows having table service experience will serve me well.

I am grateful this week when J turned to me and said "I want to marry you in the next year to year and a half. I want to make sure you know that". :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D That's exactly the timing I want, so I was totally thrilled. (Plus that he was thinking about it. I know he wants to marry me just as I want to marry him, but it made me happy that he was thinking about it without my mentioning it. Though come to think of it, it was probably the first time in a while he had the chance to think of it without my mentioning it. Not that I nag but.... lol, partly joking. I don't mention it that often or even obsess about it all the time. (Just half the time. lol). What can I say, I'm ready to marry the man. I just want a year to plan the wedding :P (and we need to be fully self supporting before we will get engaged.)

I'm so grateful to my parents, for putting up with my buttheaded foolishness for the past goodness well nigh 6 months.

I'm grateful for sunny days, trees, and good clean air.

I'm grateful for my J, always here with me, supporting me, and beleiving in me.

I'm grateful that my little sis at least had a good easy time of it for the first 2.5 years of high school, and I pray that senior year smooths out and becomes easy for her.

Chag Sameach, Shabbat Shalom, and much love to you, my readers. May you be blessed with peace, love and joy in your home, and exciting opportunties.
