The Little Things in Life

Tuesday and Thursday evenings are by far the best week nights for Sean and I. These are the two nights out of the week that we have to be home and spend together. I always look forward to them, and cherish our time together. Last night was so relaxing and fun with my hubby. I was really taking the time to soak up the little things in my life that make me so happy and feel fufilled and cozy inside.  ~Dinner with my handsome man. Last night he took me to Acapulco..so tasty! ~ Hot coco- Especially with candy canes during the holiday season 

~Walking our pup Rem...I love the conversation and together time it allows us with no distractions

~ Candles and Christmas lights. One of the first things I do when I get home is light all my candles (close to 10 of them, I am obsessed) and plug in the Christmas lights. It makes the room feel so cozy and relaxing. Last night Sean surprised me with a new Holiday scented candle..So sweet!

~Bubble baths on a chilly night

~My slipper boots and PJ's

AND the thing that makes me most happy is just BEING with my husband, cuddling up with him, and feeling over joyed with love.

What are some little things that make you happy??

Black Friday=Quite the Experience!

I hope everyone had an AMAZING Thanksgiving, I know I sure did! I thank everyone for the prayers for safe travel this week, WE MADE IT TO SEE MY FAMILY! Even though we drove a total of 400 miles in one day, it was totally worth it to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. We ate, talked, played games, and ate some more! Then we headed back home to take a nap and be ready to go out shopping at 10 with our friends Jessie and Justin!
OH MY GOODNESS!! Okay, so I have never been out for Black Friday before...I know, crazy right? We normally stay up north at my grandmas, and the only store in her small town is a Pamida....which pretty much sucks! So  Jessie and me set up a plan of action this week to tackle the amazing deals at Walmart! 
We went at 10, thinking we could be proactive and shop before, then just check out when the sales started at midnight...well we were wrong! Everything was on pallets wrapped in black plastic so we have NO idea where anything was! We started to get sneaky and poke holes in the plastic to find what we were looking for so we could make a new plan. Once we found everything, we decided to try to sneak some of the items that weren't as tightly wrapped into our carts before midnight! HAHAHA, we saw others doing it...we felt like we were stealing, but we were stealing things we were going to buy LOL! When 11:30 rolled around we assumed our positions! Justin was at the frames, Me and Jess at the shop vacs, and Sean by the towels and tupperware! Poor Sean kept texting me saying all the ladies were getting vicious over there! Once 11:57 came everyone started ripping! Jess and I took our shop vacs and ran to help Sean! We got our towels and tupperware then ran to find Justin who was suppose to head to the movies!....WOW the movies were the big item I guess, it was seriously a mosh pit....TOTALLY NOT WORTH IT! 
We definitely had a blast!! We left with some great steals including the towels, tupperware, a crock pot, so AWESOME frames, shop vac, and Sean got a sweatshirt and tape measure! It is fun starting to collect stuff for when we move out, and we got such great deals! 
Did you face the crowds of Black Friday? If so, what was the most exciting deal you got!?
Happy Friday everyone! YAY for the whole weekend ahead of us still!!

Happy Thanksgiving, SO much to be Thankful for!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! I know its not until tomorrow officially, but the plan is I will be up north and won't be blogging...still praying the weather cooperates! Its not looking so good :-(  Anyways! I am taking time today to write down things that I am truly thankful for, the things that mean the world to me, and have made me who I am today!
MY FAMILY! They are sooo amazing, and I wouldn't be who or where I am today without them. They have provided me with unconditional love, and endless support through school, my relationships, and my jobs. I can not be thankful enough to have been blessed with them! 

SEAN! Sean is the love of my life, my best friend, and I cannot wait to spend my whole life with him. I am so thankful that God's plan was to bring us together at the young age of 14. We have grown together, made mistakes together, learned together, and made so many memories already! He is such an incredible man, he takes care of me, and has grown tremendously as a person, in his faith, and in 1 week he will be graduating from college! I am so proud of him, and I am so honored to say he is MINE!

MY PETS! I am such an animal lover, and I am so thankful for my sweet cats! Kirby, Keely, Oliver, and Lucky....they are the best! I can't believe such a little creature that can't even talk can make you feel so much better when your down!

MY FRIENDS! I have so many amazing friends, they have been there for me through thick and thin, through good times, and bad....they are so much fun, and so wonderful! I LOVE YOU GUYS!
FOOD! My grandma makes the most delicious Thanksgiving meal, I cannot wait to chow down!
OUR HOME! We are still praying about the house we put an offer on...we knew it would take a while to hear anything...and it is definitely worth the wait. Even if this one doesn't work out, I am thankful we are well on our way to getting a home! Thank you for all your prayers and support! SO exciting!

BOARD GAMES! It is a family tradition on the holidays for us to play board games! We LOVE playing Balderdash! We just laugh and enjoy each other's company..such great memories!

CHRISTMAS LISTS! It is another family tradition that all the cousins sit down after our big meal and look through all the black Friday ads to write out our Christmas lists! 

3 DAY WORK WEEK! YES!!!! I am so happy today is the last day of work for the week! I definitely need to time off to spend with my loved ones!


YOU GUYS! The blogging world, and all my blogging buddies that comment, and follow, and share advice and stories with me are so wonderful! It has been such a positive environment to join, and I am Thankful for each and every one of you!!
Safe travels for everyone that is heading out for Thanksgiving! GOD BLESS!
