You Make Everything Better
It’s the simple and thoughtful gestures that can make the biggest impact in our lives. The other day I opened up my lunch bag and found this sweet note from my handsome man. It was a special surprise and made me smile.
Sometimes it is the little acts of kindness that make you feel the most loved and appreciated. Life is crazy busy but taking a few minutes to show someone you care can make a huge difference in their days.
I am very blessed and sometimes I forget how truly lucky I am. Thankful for this little note because it was a great reminder that I am loved and do matter to someone.
If you are looking for ways to show your spouse or someone you love that you care, I would encourage you to take a few minutes to leave a surprise note in their lunch bag or on their mirror or in their car. It’s a simple yet effective way to brighten up their day and let them know that they are special to you.
Everyone wants to be noticed, loved, and valued. These little expressions of love really do matter!

Counting My Blessings: Week In Review
Thankful for an opportunity to go back to Kansas for a longer weekend to celebrate my Dad and Niece’s Birthdays. I was able to catch up with a lot of family while back in Kansas. It was nice to have that time with family. Grateful for Jake taking care of the girls when I was away visiting family and celebrating. My flights went smoothly and I arrived safely.
I want to be accountable to you so the following are snip-its of some of the things I am thankful for this past week.
Counting My Blessings – Week In Review:
Monday –Thankful for a job that takes the time to celebrate the special events. Today all the staff brought in food to share and celebrate Boss’s Day, we had a lot of delicious food! Grateful for an opportunity to work on a team with great leaders.
Tuesday – Thankful that the girls were able to have fun after school at their Volleyball Tailgating Party. They went to the tailgating party – played games, ate dinner, and socialized with friends before going to cheer for their friends and team at the game that evening.
Wednesday – Thankful for the girls opportunity to participate in the school’s Diggers Club. They have been working hard selling pumpkins, weeding the school gardens and grounds, putting out mulch, working in the greenhouse, and more fun activities with the club. It is a good place to learn more about serving in their school and community as well as how to grow and maintain various grounds, plants, and more!
Thursday – Thankful for being able to fly out to Kansas to spend a long weekend with my parents. Grateful for Jake picking up the extra kid and household duties while I was away. My airplane flights went smoothly without too many delays and thankful for my Mom driving all the way to Wichita to pick me up at the airport. It was nice seeing her and spending some time on the drive back to my parents house to catch up a little bit.
Friday – Thankful for time in Kansas to spend with family. Was able to spend time with my parents, both sets of grandparents, my siblings, 6 month old niece, and more family while getting some items done with my Mom around the house.
Saturday – Thankful that I was able to be back in Kansas to celebrate my Dad’s 60th Birthday and my niece Annaliese’s 1st Birthday. They had a wonderful turnout of family and friends. It was great seeing so many family and friends over the evening during the birthday celebrate. My sister in law and brother did a lot of prep work to get ready for the party and it turned out awesome.
Sunday – Thankful for a chance to attend my parents church. It was Pastor Karg’s and his family’s last day at the church and it was good to see them, wish them well in their new adventure, and enjoy playing games & celebrating at their Goodbye Party. Was able to eat a nice lunch with my grandparents which was good to see them more and catch up a little bit more over the meal.
