A Thankful Weekend

I'm thankful that it's the weekend. I only wish that it weren't going to end so quickly. Three days is never enough, and this weekend I only have two days for the weekend, so I'm thankful for every moment of it.

I'm thankful that Aaron and I could learn how to can green beans this weekend. I'm thankful that Illinois has the best sweet corn on the planet. We DO NOT miss Virginia corn. We actually boycotted corn while we were there because well...it's just awful. I think they may have been eating field corn...yuck. But anyway...

I'm thankful for the rain that came to cool everything off after a few long hot summer days, and I'm thankful that on rainy days it's okay to sit on the couch and watch movies, nap, eat lots of junk food, and just be lazy. The rain makes you feel like it's "okay" to be lazy...which I love.

I'm thankful for so many other things, but this weekend I'm especially thankful for my amazing husband who rode right by my side on his bike while I ran my 14 miler this weekend. I was thankful for him being there every single step to encourage me, distract me when I was feeling like I couldn't finish, hand me water when I was thirsty...and just plain be there. Marathon training can be so hard sometimes, and he made that milestone in my training that much easier. I love him...and I'm so thankful for him.
