Thankful for YOU!

 

Today I wanted to express how thankful I am for blogging, and especially for YOU all my blogging friends! I have met so many amazing ladies in the past year and I am grateful for each and every one of you!!

Last night I got home from work at about 8...hadn't been home since 5:30 that morning..so I was very tired, and not in the best mood. When I walk in I see a package sitting on the counter for me! It was from my sweet blogging friend Samantha. If you haven't checked out her blog yet, get over there and do it! She is so inpirational, and always has an uplifting message to share! Anyways, I had joined forces with Samantha this year to adopt a family in need. She has been nothing but grateful and appreciative of the help, and to thank me she sent me this!

Isn't it beautiful! It totally made my night better, and it will forever remind me that I am God's hands and feet. I want to be used to do good in this world, and I can make a difference in other's lives! Thank you so much Samantha, that was so sweet of you and I absolutely love it!

Today I was also awarded the Versatile Blogger award from my sweet friend over at Everything Girly & Beyond! So fun! Here are the rules of the award:

1-Nominate 15 fellow bloggers.

6. I can fall asleep at anytime, and pretty much anywhere...I LOVE my sleep!

7. I have the taste buds of a child. I love candy, fruit snacks, mac and cheese...and any other typical children's food!

Last but not least, for today's 25 days of Christmas, a few pictures from last Christmas...and what I am still dreaming of for this Christmas...LOTS of snow!

Have a wonderful day! Only 3 days!!

A Lovely Evening

Hello sweet blogging friends!! Happy Hump Day!!

Before I get into my LOVELY evening... I wanted to give you a quick update on the house dilema I shared yesterday. We recieved news yesterday afternoon that multiple offers came in on it so we decided to walk away. Bidding wars are not for me!! That sure made my decision easier. It was not meant to be...all in God's timing. I want to thank you all for your great advice! It will definetly be helpful as we move forward in our house hunt :)

Last night I had a girls night with a few of my favorite blogging ladies and friends. Steph, Laura, Jessie, and I had a wonderful evening at Olive Garden. We had great conversation, shared a TON of laughs and ate some super yummy food! It was such a blast that we lost track of time and were nearly the last ones left in the restaurant! It was so refreshing to be around such fun lovely ladies and I can't wait to do it again! Oh and by the way we missed you Ria!

Today for 25 days of Christmas I wanted to show you an early present Sean gave me!! My sweet hubby knew I was in need of these with the super cold weather here in MN so he didn't make me wait any longer!

Roxi Mittens!!

They are so warm and super cute! Thanks sweetheart, I love you!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!!

Thankful on a Thursday!

I am SO thankful and feel so blessed today! It is a good day :)
101. Blogging friends! I am so excited to meet up with some of my favorite blogging friends (Steph,Ria,Jessie, and Laura) for a delicious dinner at Olive Garden! Can't wait ladies!

102. Another house to look at! We have been waiting to hear on an offer we have on a short sale since November. We LOVE this house and it felt like home...however I like to check for other options as we wait just to see whats out there. One really caught my eye yesterday so my Realtor is doing a little research on it's situation and if all turns out good we may look at it this weekend!
103. Daylight Savings! Can you believe it is already this weekend??! Wow time flies! I can't wait for it to be light out until 9 though....Summer is coming :)
104. A restful weekend ahead! I am definitley looking foward to another weekend of just hanging out and doing whatever we want. It is nice to not have the whole weekend planned out, it feels like they last longer!
105. Spring Break! Tomorrow is the start of spring break! I still have school, and I don't get to go anywhere warm, but I am thankful to be picking up some extra hours at work!
Happy Thursday everyone, I hope you have a spectacular day!
