We got to go to Knotts Berry Farm today! I was so happy to go because I hadn’t been in YEARS! It brought back a ton of memories of being a kid there, I remember going around on the mine carts in Camp Snoopy for HOURS! We even got to spend some time with Jonathan’s cousin who lives out in the Philippines 🙂 It was so great to spend time with someone who usually lives so far away! It was a really sweet treat to enjoy it all together because we made new memories that maybe I will recall the next time I go to Knotts in the far future one day 🙂

I got to clean the house a little and also sleep over at my in-laws! They bought me my favorite (Baja Fresh) and we enjoyed it together. I love being able to be close to my husband’s parents because it’s like a little retreat when we go away 🙂 (and of course we get showered with love and tasty treats)

It means the world to me that I can talk to my husband about anything in life. Tonight we had a long conversation about something personal and I just couldn’t help thinking I felt more comfortable sharing with my husband than anyone in the world. I am so grateful to have someone who loves and listens to me without judgement, who turns bad days into days full of laughter and inside jokes. That is a rare treasure in life and I feel like I hit the jackpot 😊😊😊

Before bed my husband sat with me and watched a FRIENDS episode (my favorite show growing up). I realized how amazing it was to hear the person I love so much laugh at the show I love so much. It brought the show to a whole new level and felt like I was watching it over again for the first time! How amazing it is to share little pieces of ourselves with someone we love, and to hear their laughter echo the exact feelings we feel. (Wow, does that even make sense? I feel like this is super deep in my head but I’m not sure if it’s coming out right.)
Anyways, I’m super grateful to have the things I love in life come together. I’m so happy I have a partner who can still enjoy things that were more popular when we were younger years ago. It makes life feel so complete!

It was a fun but busy weekend with the family! I was so grateful my in-laws drove after the long weekend. It was nice to just relax (and eat leftover doughnuts from the wedding) in the car ! I am so grateful to have such a great support system in family, we always have each other’s backs!

My husband and I are implementing a Day Gratitude Exercise for a whole WEEK where we document our favorite moment from the day and why we are grateful for it! I know if I post it here I will be more likely and obligated to write my moments of gratitude and not skimp! 😊😊
Day 1
Tonight at our cousin’s wedding, we went up to the Groom ready to tell him all of our thanks and congratulate him with a nice little speech we were going to give him. But when we went up to say our well wishes he ended up giving us a speech about how grateful he was that we were there. We were so touched we started to tear up a little bit. He went on and on about how much he loves us as a couple. Instead of the typical, “thank you so much for being here” sentiment usually given at weddings, he really made the moment so personal and I felt so grateful to take away that special moment from an already incredible night!!
