the daily 7: part 4

today i'm thankful for:

1. the fact that this blog has nothing to do with school and i can miss two days of thankfulness and it not effect a grade of any sort.
2. lazy lazy saturday full of cuddling and sleeping
3. iron and wine at the ryman
-i'm pretty sure sam bean and his crew literally took us to a whole nother world. it was quite possibly the most unexpectedly energetic concert i've ever been to. heard sounds i didn't think were possible and felt emotions only music could provide
4. 4 1/2 hour naps after 8 hour work days
-adam and i both work early morning shifts (starting anywhere from 5-6:30 am) at the hospital. today was particularly hard. for adam it was the 5th workday in a week that he got up at 4 a.m. and for me, it was a case of the mondays mixed with a exhausted body and mind. it was SO good to whisper to each other half way through our shift, "hey lets go home, cuddle up, and go to sleep," and know that we could. freedom to rest is good.
5. conversations with biv
- although we don't get to talk very much, it is such a joy to finally get in touch with one of my very best friends after a battle of phone tag. her 22nd birthday was sunday and i loved hearing about the festivities that went down in celebration of her. i also love knowing that no matter how long its been...we'll never have an awkward conversation...love that.
6. one more week of school
7. sweet notes of encouragement from adam
