This week's 10 things I am thankful for.

I am late to post this list but I have a very good excuse: we just came back from vacation and we had a great time. We went to NJ and NYC, Sophia was so good the entire time even in the car when we were stuck in traffic for hours! So here is my list:

1. I am glad I live within driving distance from NYC:   And even though it took us 7 hours from MA to get to were we stayed in NJ, it was a pleasant drive because my sweet girl was very good the whole time and never complained!
2. Friends: I am glad our friends were so nice to let us stay with them, I was really looking forward to go to NYC but paying for a hotel was not at option so staying with them was a huge help.
3. Our friends' daughter: What a sweet girl she is, Maddie is about Sophia's age and was really nice to my baby, letting her play with all her toys and making sure Sophia was always happy. It's rare to find kids that are willing to share their toys and even the house with another kid but this girl made our stay a pleasant one.
4. My husband: Once again he demonstrated why I said "I do". He is so supportive and understanding! I am lucky to have him with me!
   
   
   
   
   
5. Air conditioning: When we were in NYC walking in Central Park and walking along 5th Avenue, the humidity was brutal, but the 2 second moment of heaven we felt every time a store door was open was enough to get us going, then we got to Rockefeller Center and cooled off, that gave us our energy back to face the walk back to our car.
6. Sophia's mood during the trip: She is very happy most of the time, but we were a little worried that she was going to get bored after 1 hour into the drive there, or anxious at our friends' house for being a different place, or tired walking in NYC because of the heat and humidity, but my girl was very good, sooo good every single day we were away and I will always be thankful for her great behavior.
7. Summer school starts tomorrow: I know this was on my last week's list too,  but I have a thousand things to do and the 4 hours Sophia is going to be at school are going to be a big help.
8. Colombian products at my local grocery store: They have just a couple of Colombian products there, but one of them is like a griddle cake that I often have for breakfast. I wish they had more but I am thankful they have this one!
9. Once again, my international phone plan: This is something I am thankful for not only every week but everyday that I get to talk to my mom. It's only 20 bucks for me and free for her, but talking to her is priceless.
10. I am glad it's not too busy at work today so I can catch up with my blog hopping and post this list (I hope I'm not jinxing it).

See you next week!
