Thankful Thursday

When I started thinking about what I was thankful for this week, many things came to mind.  It was a long week that I'm so very glad is over.  And that in itself is much to be thankful for alone.  However, here's some of my other thankful highlights!

Digging halfway into book 3 of the Twilight Series

Hugs when you need them most

Checking on you phone calls

That Christmas shopping for the boys has become a tradition without us even knowing it.

Applebee's Perfect Margarita

Laughing my butt off in a Target aisle...and I can't even remember what I was laughing about.

Good, solid, wonderful conversations

Remembering that the season is about so much more than decorating my tree...thank you Steff.

Getting spoiled at work all week long...and capping it off with a basket filled with Silpada Jewelry, twinkly Christmas lights and gift cards

An amazing homemade crafty ladder (also part of the work spoiling) which not only do I love, but also can't wait to try somewhere else in my house during non-holiday seasons.  Steff I saw your blog with the ladder in it...we're going antiquing!

For having my last of many things.  Including...my last final.  My last salad from Culinaria. My last drive to the Webster Downtown campus.  My last night of school.  My last class of my degree.

Seeing Owen before bedtime EVERY night this week!

Hearing Owen go ba ba ba ba...while he stood chewing on his crib rail.

New hats and the way crisp air feels in your lungs.

The anticpation of a graduation celebratory night out...including dinner at Kobe Steakhouse...and a carriage ride at Tilles Park.  I can't wait!!!
