November 7 ~ Day 7

Today I am thankful for something I find myself complaining about often....MY HOUSE!  
I am thankful for a roof over my head. 
I am thankful that it provides me with an A/C and a heater. **SUPER important**
I am thankful that I have a garage to park in **That's really important**
I am thankful that I no longer have a smurf blue bathtub in the master bathroom *also very important*

I am thankful that we do not live beyond our means...I see many people our age (and younger) in new HUGE houses.  It's so tempting to want to build and live up to those 'measures' but I am thankful that we aren't doing that.  We work hard for what we have and simply cannot afford any better than this.  We bought a "fixer upper" and have done maybe half of what we'd like to do, but in time it'll get there, we love that we get to make it 'ours'.  
I feel blessed to have as much as I do!! Don't get me wrong, having a place that's not a constant project would be awesome, but having a mortgage that stresses us out isn't awesome.

So I complain A LOT about trying to keep my house clean (Which I can't seem to do...), however I am beyond thankful that I have a nice home to raise my kids in and to just call HOME!
