Anyone married knows that everyday with your spouse is not a piece of cake. There are times when you disagree about one thing or another and you feel the need to let the other know. I do my fair share of being the informer in these situations. My husband, who claims to have no patience, would agree. He has come out the "better man" many times. This past week, he who has no patience has been patient with me. I am thankful for this.

Beyond being frustrated with each other and getting over our differences, we have reason to smile...

This morning I went to Christenbury Eye Center to have a consultation done for a Lasik surgery procedure. I hate the thought of glasses and contacts for the rest of my life so this was exciting. I will have the procedure done before the end of September this year. The smiling doesn't end here...

Many of you that know that Jimmy has worked for his family business for his entire career, minus a few months here and there. Recently he has been given the opportunity to spread his wings a bit and he seems to be flying. He was given a promotion to be the manager of the body shop and although this heavily increased his work load, it has given him room to grow professionally as well. This morning he called me absolutely excited... he got his own business cards. This means little to most but huge to him and I am so proud.

All though both things are small to most... It makes me remember that even the small blessings count.
