Today I'm thankful for a place to live.
Sigh. Sometimes we have to be grateful that we have something, even if it isn't our ideal. I would do a lot for a washer/dryer and dishwasher and a yard and non-smoking neighbors and a back door and central heat/air conditioning. But, I am grateful that we have a roof over our heads, and that we have a lot more space than most people in LA, and that we have two bedrooms (though you'd wonder if Ryan knew that most nights...), and that we live in a relatively safe neighborhood, and that we have lots and lots of neighbors that are nice. Oh, and I have a kitchen that's twice the size of our last one! (Ha, shoulda seen the last one).
I REALLY believe that the most important thing about a home is who lives in it, and so for that I am SUPER grateful. Seth is the nicest roommate, he's the best I've ever had (and he had some stiff competition!). And even though Ryan doesn't pick up after himself and makes me do all his dishes, I still think he's a pretty great guy to have in the house!

Thanks for this. It sounds like our living situation is almost identical (no dishwasher, washer/dryer, all the other lame stuff, too!) and yet I am grateful that we have all the same good things that you have! Seriously, I could have written that post, but I didn't because I needed the reminder to be grateful for what I have instead of wishing for more.
