"Honey, I'm ho-ome!"

Day 13
Today I am thankful that for the first few months of my teaching career I have lived with my sister and her family. At first when the days were so long and overwhelming it was nice to come home to three little boys hugging my legs and saying, "Nanny! Nanny's home! Nanny!" These three little guys always help me unwind and refocus. They also make for some interesting stories!
I also appreciate dinner every night. I have walked into a pretty good sister-wives situation* where there are three adults, two working outside of the home, and one working in the home raising the kids and cooking our meals. Nic and I make it home each night in time for supper and play time with the boys. We laugh at our set-up, but I know that we are both deeply grateful for all that Jolene does during the day.
I love that I have a built-in support group for whatever kind of day I'm having. It's nice to know that I am accepted and loved at home regardless of how my day went. It's pretty nice to be able to talk your day out, with grown-ups and kiddos alike.
I am so thankful that my sister and her husband have been so willing to help me and support me! I love you guys-you're the best!
