Fifth Day of Thanksgiving

Today I have lots to be thankful for...but here are 5 since today is day 5 of Thanksgiving :-)

1. Wedding Photo DVDs came in the mail-and I absolutely LOVE them! I already ordered a set of hard copies from Meijer so I'll be able to see which ones we want to order for all our fun picture frames we got as wedding presents! My husband is currently picking them up :-)

2. Blossom Anne. No matter what, she is faithfully by my side, following me around, giving me kisses, tossing a ball up and chasing it, or bringing sheepy up to play...she is by far the greatest puppy in the world and one of the best decisions I have ever made.

3. My husband...who simply loves me unconditionally.

4. Mrs. Sarah Bailey being one of the greatest people I have ever met and FINALLY getting to catch up with a phone date :-)

5. And lastly, an extra hour of sleep tonight :-)

That's all folks :-)

The Month of Thanksgiving: Day 2

Today I am thankful for some down time on Wednesday nights...where I can watch Criminal Minds, crochet a blanket, and enjoy Blossy laying next to me. It's these little things in life that make the week go by so much smoother!
I'd also have to say I'm thankful for our new car that we've had for almost a week...and the ability to make a color coded excel budget :-) I guess this post is showing my true inner nerd :-)

End of October, Beginning of November

So Monday was Halloween...and thus not a typical Monday. But Halloween was not the only thing that made my Monday more unique than others. Monday was a day of good news...peace and rest of things that I've been praying over came to the forefront yesterday. I felt God's love in such abundance yesterday...it was AMAZING!!!  Additionally having lunch with my Dad made my Monday all that much more enjoyable!

 But then today was Tuesday...the beginning of the month where I try to focus on all that I am thankful for...as it is the month of Thanksgiving! It was difficult at times, for today was a little trying...but then a dove chocolate (with peanut butter in the center) summed up what I have to be thankful for today: Today is a bubble bath kind of day! Oh how I LOVE bubble baths!  And the timing of that dove chocolate moment was PERFECT!!!The only thing I love more than a bubble bath after a hard day is cuddling with my Blossom Anne. My husband sometimes gets annoyed and says I love her more than him, but it's a different kind of love. Blossom is the best dog that I could ever imagine having.

So in summary, today I am thankful for both bubble baths AND my Blossom Anne. And with that, it's time to relax before bed and find something to be thankful for tomorrow as well :-)

Blossom Anne

I absolutely adore my puppy! This is an old picture of her, but she's so cute and sweet in it! And the best part (also the reason for this post) is I get to spend a week with her...all by myself :-) See, she usually goes to Granny's (aka my mom) during the week days so she doesn't have to be crated so much. She loves to run outside and keeps my mom occupied. But my parents are going to DC for a week and I'm dog/house sitting for them. So I get the yard for Blossy Boo and I get her all to myself! I really just can't wait! I love cuddling with her and she's just so full of energy and happiness. She is by far the best thing I've ever bought for myself.

On a different note, I'm also very excited that we are meeting with a place this afternoon to hold a wedding reception. Planning a wedding is so much fun, but only when things start coming together...I'm also hoping we can get the guy's yellow shirts tonight...yes I'm making them wear yellow, but not the girls :-) My future husband LOVES me for this too!!!
