Day 30

Ryan got hired at Teleproformance today.  I am thankful for that steady job, but most of all I am thankful that his schedule is almost exactly like mine.  We have been blessed the most with this schedule change.  It is so difficult to maintain a marriage when husband and wife work opposite schedules.  This way there will only be a few hours difference and we will have the same days off.  What a blessing that is in the phone world.

I am thankful for ice cubes.  A cold drink is just not the same without them.  I also love to add them to a steaming cup of noodles for my lunch so that I can be done eating sooner.  Nothing feels better on a hot day than to run ice cubes all over the back of my neck.

I am thankful for steel.  Just think what all exists because of the invention of steel.  We take it for granted but there is so much that it does for us.  When was the last time that you looked up at the skeleton of a sky scraper and marveled at what is being placed right there.  When was the last time that we rode or drove in a car and pondered what was underneath us?  Our lives do revolve around steel.

I am thankful for kitchen sinks. So much of our life revolves around the kitchen sink.  I never really realized how much until my friend talked about remodeling her kitchen and all of the stuff that she had to do in her bathroom tub.  Kitchen sinks.  Another thing I have always taken for granted.

I am grateful for my health insurance.  Ryan has some skin problems and he is going to have to see a doctor about it.  Seeing a doctor without insurance is so expensive.  Not to mention all of the drugs that will be involved too.  Insurance is such a blessing.
