At one point I had planned to write a whole series of posts about things that I'm grateful for. I got three done and it's been over a year since the last one. So, time to start...again.
Today I wanted to take a moment to express some gratitude for my in-laws. I know not everyone has this experience, but my mother- and father-in-law are absolutely wonderful. They're very supportive without being overbearing. My husband and I were just mentioning that we wanted to plan a long weekend this summer to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary, and they asked if they could keep the kids. I don't think we've ever paid for a babysitter between my parents, my parents-in-law, my brother and my brother-in-law.

I'm also really grateful for my brother's wife. I remember when I first met her I thought no way could anyone be that nice and happy all the time. But she really is. She's a wonderful antidote for the sometimes gloomy personalities that populate my family. She's also a wonderful mother to my nephew, and a great friend to me. She's expecting and I can't wait to meet my next niece or nephew this summer!

I definitely think that I need to take the time more often to appreciate all the wonderful people that are in my life; I really am very fortunate!
