First, I am grateful for my brand new husband! We eloped yesterday. :D
Second, I am grateful for our families, and our brand new nephew who was born this morning!
Third, I'm grateful for air conditioning because it is hot as a mug out there.

Bonus: I was going to make deviled eggs once but didn't have enough mayo and didn't realize til after I started making it, so I added more mustard and chicken and a bunch of spices and ended up with the most boss chicken salad ever. Also I made a cherry pie last weekend with cherries from the tree in our new backyard but I didn't use enough cornstarch so it didn't gel well but still turned out pretty awesome. Idk what I'd call it other than runny pie. 😂

Thanks, /u/jade_cat! :)

1) I'm very thankful that my SO and I are open with our communication and have cleared some things out successfully, I'm looking forward to our future plans!

2) I'm so grateful that I had great family time this week, I definitely feel like we have bonded and become much happier together.

3) I'm also thankful for the motivation this week to get some ideas down for creative projects, I'm re-starting my beautiful scrapbook soon.

Bonus: When I cooked carbonara for the first time I completely forgot the cream and used milk and eggs, which totally worked and gave it a more savoury cream sauce!

I'm glad our ridiculous family situation last week calmed down and MIL understood her enabling behaviors even if she diminished SIL's craziness. Just glad that stress is GONE. I feel much lighter.
I'm grateful my sons (they call themselves "adventure bros") and I found an awesome swimming hole up river from our other swimming hole. This summer rocks so far.
Grateful for the way my husband wants me to spend a ton of time with him and lets me go on and on about my garden. And I'm grateful for the time we spend feeding the koi together... Its my favorite time of day!

I'm grateful that my SO and I are going to have the weekend to ourselves. We both have been looking forward to it. (I've been volunteering a lot. Can't say no, ick. But decided to block off the following 2 to 3 weekends.)
I'm grateful that I came across an Eckhart Tolles book, which mainly talks about being in the moment. Something that I am not always aware about, but would benefit from greatly.
I am grateful for my SO knowing himself so well. He's so friggin' grounded. swoons

Bonus: I feel like most of my improvised meals taste better than the ones I make following a recipe. Pssshh

we're on holiday from tomorrow, so very very busy getting everything ready, but i'm looking forward to it so much :)
Good weather, which makes holiday more fun
husband for being bloody dashing 😘

Bonus: I'm not sure i've ever done that! I would maybe throw the dish away and start again because my disasters are pretty bad usually

I am grateful for all the rain lately. The garden has been thriving!
I am grateful to my husband for picking up a flower from our backyard when coming back from work to gift it to me. <3
I am grateful that my husband can work from home one day per week.

i'm grateful that FH is so understanding with my lack of time at the moment. i've got a dear friend who's unwell and he's been encouraging me to look after her, driving me to meet her at appointments, even offered to move her into our spare room for a while. i really appreciate how caring he is.
i'm grateful for our new little kitten. she's just so fun and sweet.
i'm grateful for our home. i woke up this morning and just felt so comfortable and at-ease here. we've worked really hard to make it our own and it's just a really enjoyable place to be.

bonus: i was making french onion soup for the first time and nothing was going right. had the wrong type of onions, the wrong type of wine, nothing was caramelising right and i just ended up getting frustrated and winging it and it turned out seriously amazing. only problem is i assumed it would be a write-off so didn't pay any attention, so have no idea how to replicate it now!
