Each year time seems to slip away faster and faster. It’s
crazy for me to think that I am now almost 30, months away from a Masters
degree and in my 3rd “career” since my undergrad graduation! Life
has a funny way of speeding up without you realizing it. I don’t have to tell
you all that this year has been especially hard, but it’s also been amazing and
rewarding. I feel like my life is on the right track in regards to my family,
my career and the amazing future that I know I am heading into it. I just can’t
help but be Thankful…
I’m a little behind on the Thankful train… 19 days to be
exact… but these are the things I can’t help but think about in all of those
quiet moments. The things that make me smile and reflect on how very lucky I
am.
♥ First and foremost I am thankful for my
husband. He has gone by many names to me this past year… My monkey, My Rock, My
“Porpoise” and my Big Grizzley Bear… but he is the one person who I know I can
always rely on and I love standing beside.
♥ I am thankful for my babies. Mia & Betty
may be INCREDIBLY annoying at times… like at 4am when I get scratched in the
side or pounced on with urgent demands to go outside… but they make me smile,
they comfort me when I’m sad and they bring so much laughter into our home.
♥ While I’m at it…I’m thankful for our home! It’s
tiny, it’s unique and it’s just perfect for Spencer and I as we grow our
family. We’ve even been doing some long awaited decorating! (photos will come
soon!)
♥ I am thankful for Restoration Hardware
blankets. They are soft, fuzzy and I love snuggling up on the couch with one
each evening.
♥ School… ick. I may hate going to classes. I may
throw a HUGE temper tantrum each Tuesday night at I head out the door. But
without school I wouldn’t have the job I do or feel the sense of accomplishment
that I do.
♥ …and lets not forget my job! I get to be home
each night! How great is that?! No more hotels for me J
♥ A big thank you to the Republic of Tea! I love
having a warm cup of tea each morning as I check my emails and prepare for
another day on the clock. Mmmm Plum spice J
♥ And it may be cheezy, but thank you IMDB. I
love checking out the upcoming movies, seeing that’s playing now and being able
to look up quick facts like, “Who was that chick with the pink hair?!”
♥ Chipotle burritos… you know I wouldn’t forget
about you! Warm cilantro lime rice with shredded carnitas and LOTS of delicious
guac! On my goodness, date night wouldn’t be the same without you!
And who could forget…
♥ Starbucks Peppermint Mochas and Cranberry Bliss
Bars for being so delicious.
♥ The Walking Dead for giving Spencer and I a
great Sunday night date.
♥ Hoodies! Who doesn’t love hoodies??
♥ My Kindle. I still love the smell of paper, but
I LOVE being able to read and not hurt my wrist from the heavy weight of a book.
J
♥ Dark Chocolate. I hated the stuff as a kid… but
now I wish I could have it every single day!
♥ Soup Season. Beginning in October and moving
through February I eat soup for just about every single lunch.
♥ Clear blue skies and bright fall leaves for my
drive home
♥ Space heaters…because it’s super cold in my
office!!!
...and of course, my friends, my family and my
health.
I believe that goes without saying...
Happy Turkey Week!
“Gobble Gobble”
