Thankful Thursdays #TFT

I constantly see my Facebook and Instagram accounts full of #TBT (Throwback Thursday for you non-abbreviation people). I really want to start a habit of writing down what I'm thankful for on a (hopefully) regular basis.  I figured, why not have a #TFT (Thankful Thursday) blog post?  Thus, I will do my best to reflect about what I'm thankful for on a weekly basis. 
 
This week, I'm thankful for technology--specifically living in a time and place that has access to high-speed internet. 

It's been a whirl-wind of a week, as I've been in Indiana for training with my new job.  It's the first time I've been more than 6 hours away from my baby, and this will be the longest time (4 nights) I've been away from my baby.  It's hard knowing that I'm physically far away from my little guy and can't turn the car around.  Instead, I have to wait for my flight to get back home.

Now, getting back to technology.  I used Skype tonight to talk to my husband and baby.  I feel so fortunate to be able to talk to him and watch him play.  Since he's only 6 months old, he doesn't have the whole talk-on-the-phone-thing figured out yet.  Skype was our perfect solution.  It's so wonderful to see and hear them. Most of the time, Owen just wanted to grab the phone out of my husband's hands, but it was so fun to interact with them even though we are miles and miles apart.
