I'm just taking this brief interruption to say that posting this gratitude list has been challenging. I ended up sick with a cold. Julie did as well. Then we both got really sick and are now on antibiotics. I'm dealing with asthmatic bronchitis which my new inhaler is working wonders on as well. And then last night, Jax woke me up because he had a stomach bug. And for three hours poor Jax and I were back and forth to the bathroom. (I was basically there for moral support, I guess!) All this to say-I'm a little behind on blogging this list. But I'll keep counting and chugging right along.
