Gratitude on the go! 6-12-13

Today I am grateful for:
-my new doctor. Dr. Toll. She was amazing. Talked to me for a really long time and just explained everything and listened to me. I honestly haven't ever had that with a doctor before. Usually its like get in get out get poked get prodded kthxbai. Woof. It did not feel that way this time. I genuinely felt cared for. My appointment was at 11 and I was there until 12:30. She's officially my new doctor. Boom.
-the nurse taking my blood did it in one go and it was super easy and painless. Double boom.
-The really nice lady at the post office. She seemed very kind.
-Lunch with Jen. So great. I was really hungry (I was fasting in the morning because of the doctor) and demolished my lunch at Jasmine Deli. It was good to catch up with Jen though. I think she's doing well. Jen is amazing at asking questions. I'm trying to be better at that. Sometimes the questions I want to ask I don't know are 100% appropriate. Working on it. Anyway, we chatted about how things were going in our lives and giggled and cooed over Oscar and his adorableness. Then we got a donut and called it a day. Triple boom.
-an hour car nap by the lake
-standing up for myself.
-going for a drive and ice cream with Padre. We chatted about my new doctor and discussed how much we both liked Scandal and if and how I should become ordained online. I'm gonna do it I'm pretty sure I just need to figure out how. We're gonna have to sit down and look it over online.
-my wonderful Everyday 1 class. They're so sweet and really excited to learn. They support one another so well. It's actually beautiful to watch. Even when they struggle the class holds each other up and gives each other complements and support. I love it. They're super engaged in the exercises and ask really great questions. Quadruple boom!
-Amaris. Today is her birthday. Words can't express how grateful I am that she was born. I'll never forget the first time I met Amy in our freshman seminar introduction meeting when she said, "Fer Shizzle" and being 100% serious. I had no idea people talked like that for real. Not to mention her thick Californian (Valley Girl) accent. I also can't forget how she just bounded up to me after that class and introduced herself to me and immediately asked if I wanted to go with her into the Village to the record store. I had no idea who this person was but my terrified little self said yes and we've been friends ever since. I'm so grateful for her exuberant energy and personality that helped bring me out of my shell. I'm grateful for our talks freshman year in various rooms and dorms about who even knows what. I'm grateful for her love and support throughout the years and her uncanny ability to always hear me and say exactly the right thing. Happy birthday Amy. I'm so grateful you're my best friend and my wifey for lifey. Yatta! :)

Getting ready for an actual party
We still have crooked fingers.
-the basics
-water
-crafting. Here are my recent projects:
Subway wall art for Amy.
It took forever, but it was suuuper fun to do.
And now I can do it more often and efficiently!
A drawing of Sailor Moon.
Amy's favorite show.
I'm pretty pumped about how it turned out actually.
-the weather getting nice half way through the day. We just might have more than one week of summer. Fingers crossed!
