over the past few years, i have followed various friends projects, documenting 365 days of pictures or the first year of baby's life, or maybe a month of songs. i have questioned doing such things, and have thought about what a commitment it would take and of course how it would be hard without say an iphone to document them. but i have been doing some thinking lately, and more than memories or songs, i want my life to be marked by certain qualities. as i was thinking about this, the word gratitude came to mind. as i was beginning to write this, i flipped over to webster.com for a dictionary definition of the word, and my heart jumped for joy: "gratitude: the state of being thankful" wow. so for the next year (in addition to many other things) i want to strive for this quality. i want to live in a way of gratitude.

32. thursday night date nights

nathan and i have committed to try to have at least 1 date night a week. we try to make them the same night for a while, then sometimes have to switch them up to suit our schedule. i am so thankful for these nights, as it gives me something to look forward to in a busy, hectic week. i am thankful for time spent together doing whatever we choose. tonight, we cashed in a vudu free credit and watch the new jane eyre, and it made me so thankful that we carve out the time to be together.
