Thankful Today

I had the most fabulous Thanksgiving "vacation" filled with tons of family, friends, food, shopping and a quick trip to Nashville for a Predators hockey game!

I did miss posting my week of "thankful's" because of all of our crazy activities SO I will play catch up now (before I start with full blown Christmas craziness!)

This year I am so extremely thankful for...
*my family...we don't always agree on things (not even half of the time) but we love each other and always have each other's backs!
*my friends...the ones I see/talk/text every week and the ones I see MAYBE once a year...I love you all and I have no idea where I'd be without each of you (not that you'll ever see this bc I won't tell you the address! :) )
*my church family...they have seen my family and I through so many good and bad times and have loved me through them all! (And they've even witnessed my ugly cry!)
*my home...I know I am constantly complaining because I haven't had the time or money to completely redo everything I would like to but I am enjoying my little house with its 70's flair while it is a work in progress!
*my fur babies...while I still do not consider myself a cat person, my little strays that have taken over my house are growing on me. And of course, I am completely obsessed with my sweet old man chocolate lab!
*vacations...whether it be cruising to Mexico, the Bahamas, Jamaica or the Cayman Islands, or taking a quick weekend trip to Branson or Nashville, I so enjoy this time. I know that I will not always be in a place that I can just up and go so I want to have as many wonderful vaca experiences as possible!!
*fall/winter...sweaters, flannel, leggings, boots, Christmas movies and decorations...this list could go on and on...this is totes my favorite time of the year!
*the simple things in life...Pinterest nights with the besties, dinner with old friends, a walk through the woods with my baby brother, Sunday lunch with the family, night drives to nowhere...

There are so many things that I am forever thankful for but I am most thankful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, and having the opportunity to be raised around so many wonderful Christian examples.
