Mandi's List:
I'm thankful for a hubby who surprises me with the best surprises ever. When I got home from small group on Tuesday night, Ronnie surprised me with a clean house. In just a few hours he dusted, scrubbed, swiffered, mopped, did laundry, you name it. It was incredible. I am so thankful for my hubby.
I'm thankful for family time. As you've read, my parents are in town. I am so thankful they could be here and we could all spend time together. Last night my parents, bro and sis-in-law and Ronnie and I went to dinner and had my dad help with some chores/to dos around the house that we needed some dad knowledge on. It was a blast.
I'm thankful for routine. While I'm thankful for my parents being in town, it has thrown off our routine a bit and I am feeling a bit out of whack and missing our daily and weekly routines. It reminds me why I am so thankful for a steady routine in my life on a regular basis.

I'm thankful for Eazy-E. No, not the rapper, my father-in-law. There is one thing that Eric and I don't have in common (and believe me, we have more in common than he'd care to admit), he's been around grass his whole life and I have not. One thing that sold us on our house was the big expansive yard that came with it. Only problem was that I had exactly zero experience with a yard. My idea of landscaping was dirt, gravel and cactus. I wanted to learn how to maintain my yard because of how important it is to Mandi, and so far, I have about a C average. In the last couple of days, spots that are usually nice and green in my yard have become brownish and other spots just aren't coming in. Eric took a look, diagnosed the problem, and off to Home Depot we went. We came back with some fertilizer with bug preventer, grass seed and a hand held seed spreader. He also taught me how to "thatch" the grass which is something I only thought existed in movies :) Thanks Eazy, I'm hoping to see a lush lawn in a couple of weeks!!
I'm thankful for hole-in-the-walls. We were looking for a restaurant nearby that none of us had been to for a dinner spot tonight. So I used my trusty o' YELP app and searched out some places nearby with good ratings. We ended up picking a Korean place just north of downtown Chandler. The reviews were good, it was close and we were all feeling Korean food. From the outside, the place was a very typical hole-in-the-wall. Very nondescript, kinda dirty and nothing flashy whatsoever. It was a different story on the inside however - nicely decorated, very clean and best part, not a white person in sight. I know that has nothing to do with the actual look of the restaurant, but I happen to think it's a very good sign when their are nothing but Korean peeps eating at a Korean restaurant. My theory was proved to be right as the food was great and it even was awesome enough to please the oft traveled Eazy-E. Well done "hole-in-the-wall!!
So, what are you thankful for today?
