I'm thankful....
1. That Kylie's in a great Preschool. I love what she learns, I love that she's so excited to go - I hope that sets the trend for her enjoying school in general. AND I've had Kylie in a crummy preschool before we moved to this end of LV, so I KNOW the difference. The difference between Mrs. Tate and the other preschool teacher she had for just a few months is like night and day! (and I'm thankful that Tate might might might do it next year which would be for Kacey!)
2. That I have a great Vet. Seems simple enough, but my Vet is really awesome. Today- Oct 16th- marks 2 years to the day that Maggie first experienced her seizuring episode. I was frantic, I didn't know what to do, it was scary to watch her seize. I was post partum with Kacey and an emotional wreck as I'm trying to carry my 75 pound dog down the steps and get her into the van. Anyway, my Vet was the best. I heard him in the back room, at first encouraging then forcing 2 other doctors (one to drive, one to administer meds to Maggie) to drive my dog to the specialist for me as I followed in my car. I realized that he did this because he thought I'd kill myself and my dog if she seizured while I was driving. (Matthew was in PHX on business) I thought for sure Maggie had hit her 9th life and that was it, but she's still ticking 2 years later!
3. That shots are over. I'm surprised you all didn't hear us with Dr. Santos on Tuesday afternoon. All 3 girls screaming their heads off, Matthew and I couldn't help but laugh hysterically. But everyone's good, no reactions from the shots. All is well, SO GLAD it's over!
4. Matthew's speaking in church on Sunday, just him... not me. (Not that I said no, they only asked him) Now I have to manage all 3 girls on my own as he sits up front... but I'm thinking it's worth it to not have to speak :)
5. Last but very not least, today also marks the 9th year since my baptism: Oct 16, 1999. :) I'm very grateful for that decision. I think I was at a fork in the road as to where I could go with my life, and I'm very grateful for the path that I chose. I know it was perfect for me, and I look at my life now and think how different things could have been if I hadn't of made that choice. I'M SO GLAD THAT I DID! I know that's the reason for my happiness and my many, many blessings!!!

I love your Thankful Thursday posts. Have I mentioned that before? Happy Anniversary! I got all misy-eyed when I read it's the anniversary of your baptism. I too don't know where I'd be without the church, I hate to even try to imagine. I was inactive for close to ten years, and it's just amazing how much you "forget" when you don't have the Spirit guiding you. I'm so grateful for it's influence in my life.
I just saw this on someone else's blog and thought of you:

Don't know if you'll like the style or not, but the fact that they'll make it for you in all sizes up to 6 made a little lightbulb go off in my head.
Shots are the worst! Tate is the best, we miss her so much. If she does it next year, we are so coming, no matter where I live! I wish I could help you out on Sunday, and to hear Matthew, but we will be gone.
9 years! That is so great Nicole! you're pretty awesome! also...laughing about the shots...that must have been quite a sight (and sound) haha! glad its over! :)
It is amazing to me that so many little things in our lives make such an impact. Thanks for sharing. I love reading your blog.
Congratulations on your 9 year anniversary! I was born and raised in the church and have never known different. I am so thankful for the gospel in my life and am so happy that you were able to find it as well! I'm glad that your shots are over with, at least Matt was there to help you!
