Top Two Tuesday!

Link up over at Taylor's Blog!!

Top Two Things I am Thankful for!!!!!!!!!

1. St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital

St. Jude's (fyi a.k.a "The Jude") is near and dear to my heart.  They do SOO many things for children and I am confident that they WILL find a cure for childhood cancer one day. They do not turn down any child on their inability to pay and run pretty much off of donation money from people like you and me.  I owe this hospital so much because they saved my husband.  Although he was several years over the age limit to be accepted to St. Jude when he was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, St. Jude welcomed him in with open arms because the type of cancer is rare in adults and IS a childhood cancer.  A doctor  there once told us that it costs sooo many billions of dollars a day to run the hospital.  It is a wonderful place for children and parents alike, because they provide counselors, meals, lodging, and they never turn a child down. You can donate to St. Jude HERE



2. My Sweet Husband!! <3

He is such an amazing man...He doesn't send me flowers because he says he's not spending 50 bucks on something that will just die.  He doesn't let me go out and buy things that I don't need.  He doesn't always want to go out for dinner or see a movie on the rare occasion that he is home on a weekend.  Other people see a "tight wad." I see a man who wants to make sure that I don't have to worry whether or not we can make our house payment next month or whether or not we will have electricity or food on the table.  It is the little things that I love like the mornings that he brings me home breakfast, just so I can sleep an extra fifteen minutes, or the way he makes sure to call me and tell me "Goodnight" and that he loves me before I go to bed at night.  I love the fact that he puts his life on the line every day for a job that he loves, but most of all, I love the way he loves me just the way I am, emotional, temperamental, and sometimes a little crazy!
