Thankful on a Thursday and About Me!

Happy Thursday friends! I am SO happy the weekend is here tomorrow! The things I am thankful for this week include
131. Mani's and Pedi's! I will be enjoying these in a couple of hours with a few of my favorite ladies! 
132. My co-workers! They are so wonderful, and we always have the most interesting conversations...I am definitely going to miss them...only 4 more days :(
133. Duluth! I will be spending my weekend in this beautiful city I call home. Can't wait to see my family!

134. The warmer weather, it has been so nice!
135. Laura Story. I heard this song on the radio the other day, and the message really hit home. It is a beautiful song and I could listen to it over and over. I highly recommend you take the time to listen to it!

"We pray for blessings

We pray for peace

Comfort for family, protection while we sleep

We pray for healing, for prosperity

We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering

All the while, You hear each spoken need

Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights 

Are what it takes to know You’re near

What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise"

Now about me...My sweet friend Laura at Learning to Love gave me this fun award! The directions are to share 7 things about myself that you may not know....here we go!

1. I am the most indecisive person....it can be very frustrating

2. I love junk food...which is NOT a good thing

3. I am scared of change, which I am facing a lot of currently

4. I secretly wish I was an interior designer or a professional dancer

5. Music is an extremely important part of my life

6. I am HORRIBLE at math...even simple math. I have had kids at my work (kindergarten through fifth grade) ask for help on their math homework and I have trouble...how embarrassing!

7. I am extremely organized and like to have everything planned, it can sometimes be a little to much even ;-)

Now I am going to pass this award on to 3 of my blogger friends! 

Amanda @ the shepard life

Ria @ Life as a Wife!

Krysten @ After I Do

Have a wonderful day!!

I was so looking forward to blogging today, I have missed Thankful on a Thursday! 
126. New opportunities that Sean and I have been blessed with recently! More to come :)

129. Sean! I don't say this nearly enough...I am so incredibly thankful to have found such a wonderful person to spend my life with. He is my best friend, my rock, my everything.

Thankful on a Thursday

I wanted to start by letting you all know I survived the oh so awful dentist! No cavities, however my wisdom teeth are coming in and need to be taken out! AWW I am a little nervous for this! Anyways, I am SO thankful that it is Thursday and tomorrow is the start of a weekend I have been very much anticipating! More on that tomorrow! Here is what I am thankful for today!
126. Spring Cleaning! I took some time this week to clean out my room. I was able to throw a lot, donate a lot, and I found A LOT of funny old memories! Some things are hard to part with but at the same time I don't want to just collect clutter...hmmm
127. Fruit! I have been LOVING fruit lately! So tasty!
128. The Snooze Button....it has been my best friend this week! 
129. Marriage Class! I have SO SO enjoyed sharing this with Sean! I can't wait until our next one :) Love you babe!
130. This song! I normally don't care too much for Pink, but this song has great meaning! Nobody's life is perfect, people make mistakes, and every one faces struggles. This song just gives you the strength to not let life's complications get you down.

"Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than, less than perfect,

pretty pretty please if you ever ever feel like your nothing you are perfect to me."

Never Grow Up

So we put an offer on the house last night! It went really well, my dad loved it which really made me excited! Our Realtor shared some information that made us feel better about the short sale, she seemed to think everything was going to work out fine as long as were patient. I guess the average short sales takes 4-6 months. For us this is actually perfect because I graduate in March, and who likes to move in the winter? 
All this house stuff really started to get me thinking and realizing how fast time has gone by...It literally feels like yesterday that my only worries were if mom and dad were going to say yes to a sleepover, and if I would get cookies after dinner. Now I am dealing with buying a house, graduating from college,  getting a "real job" soon...its really exciting, scary, sometimes I don't believe it....
I know my parents are excited for me, but at the same time I could see in my dad's eye that he couldn't believe his little girl was signing papers to buy a house with the man she will be marrying in less than a year...everything just really hit me.
I recently got Taylor Swifts new album, which is great! There is a song on it that really reminds me of my this. It's called Never Grow Up. 
"Don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school.Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up, just stay this little.Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple.No ones ever burned you, nothings ever left you scarred. And even though you want to just try to never grow up"
