Every Wednesday (well, almost every Wednesday!) I try to do a post on things I'm grateful for over the past week. This helps keep my mood up...especially in the winter. Give it a try, it helps!
This week I'm very grateful that it is Wednesday. Geoff and I are going away this weekend which means I asked for Saturday off...which means that I had to work Monday, after only 1 day off. At first I wasn't very happy about this until I remembered that I often worked 7 days a week when I was in school. Even so, it's been a long week so far, though I will have a 3 day weekend this week which makes it all worth it.
I'm also grateful for Swagbucks! This week I earned my 8th Amazon.com gift card...which means by doing almost nothing I have earned $40 in Amazon cards (and you can buy so many things from Amazon!) I will take that!
I'm grateful that every day my job seems to get easier and easier, and my manager and I are getting along very well, especially since she doesn't have to train me anymore. I am feeling more competent every day, and have less anxiety around losing my job (yes, I was anxious about that!)
I'm SUPER grateful that in less than a month my best friend, Kristin is coming to visit! We will be going to Vancouver for a few days and I can't wait to relax and spend time with her. Plus, neither of us has ever been to Vancouver so that will definitely be fun.
What are YOU grateful for, today?





I'm a 27 year old, newly married, newly living in Washington, librarian trying to find a job in a library. Meanwhile I'm working as a office assistant while I figure out how to live my new life as a wife.
Geoff, my wonderful, caring husband works with computers and, in his free time, plays with video games, lounges on the couch and cooks with sourdough.
Clarabelle and Hermione are our babies! Hermione, who came to Megg as a kitten, loves playing with fur mice and bottle caps. Clarabelle's hobbies include sleeping, lying in the sun and playing with straws. 
Geoff and Megg met through a mutual friend and spent 4 years dating long distance. They were finally able to live in the same zipcode after what seemed like forever when they got married on January 2, 2010! Soon after they bought a house and have been enjoying the Pacific Northwest together while being both newlyweds and new homeowners!
