This Thursday I found many reasons to smile and count my blessings. The smiles began when I went to my son’s school to have lunch with him. The smile on his face when he saw me was priceless. The way my son runs up to greet me with a smile that could light up the room and embraces me with a warm hug warms my heart. Sharing in the giggles over lunch with my son and his friends was priceless.
Shortly after I arrived back home, my husband came home for the weekend. There is nothing that makes me happier in the world than to see my husband’s semi truck backing into the driveway. Every visit is a special treat.
Even more priceless was the smiles and elation on my children’s faces when they stepped off their buses and seen that their Daddy was home. My son was so excited he fell on his face in the snow in his rush to get into the house to see his Daddy. It was repeat performance as my daughter slip and slid in the snow yelling “Daddy!” as she burst into the front door. My husband’s homecomings makes all of us smile.
After all the homecomings we went out for pizza which is always a treat. I am thankful I completed my first Web Design class successfully. I am thankful that I started another one. I am thankful my family is together for the weekend, and I am thankful for each and every one of you. I am thankful for Larissa and her fun Tidbit Thursday Party at "Papa is a Preacher"! That pretty much sums up my day full of tidbits. Bless each and every one of you until next time I give you another glimpse into the life of a trucker’s wife.
I am thankful for you my friend. Great post...

ReplyDeleteKatie, I am so pleased you enjoyed it!! It was a lovely weekend. I love having my husband home. He surprised me with a dozen roses which just made my day and week.

DeleteAww, how nice! Love happy and together families : ) Driving back from Florida we saw lots of trucks and we saw a sign for truck driver's showers and it made me think about how truckers really live on the road. It MUST be so nice to have him home. What a wonderful post!
ReplyDeleteAnn, I couldn't do what he does. The living in that truck day in and day out, using showers at truck stops, finding something to eat. UGH. He loves coming home and sleeping in his own bed, eating home cooked meals, and enjoying himself. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments. I am so pleased you enjoyed my post!
DeleteOh, I'm so glad your hubby is home! I know it gets you down when he's not! Yay, lovely family!
