Thankful

This month has FLOWN by, at least for me! Thanksgiving was almost a week ago, we were married a month yesterday, and now only 2 days left in November? Holy moly! We have definitely been on the GO it seems for the past few weeks, so I thought I would sit and take the time to write a few things I am thankful for this year.

First off I am thankful for all my wonderful blessing that happened this year- New job, engagement, marriage, and everything that came along with those.  I am also very thankful for the things that I am continuously blessed with- family, friends, a roof over my head, and the ability to live a pretty happy, stress free life.  Some of the most simple things you don't even think about can be some of the most missed by others.  I think it's important to sit back sometimes and not stress over the petty things we want but see what all we do have. (I am for sure guilty of this myself!) We should all try to cherish what we have, because nothing is ever guarunteed, whether it be materialistic items, food, shelter, or even loved ones. I am trying to remember this more often as lately I have seen these things taken from people so unexpectantly.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, Chritmas is less than a month away!! This is hands down my favorite time of the year, so I hope things start to slow down just a bit. ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas starts this Saturday and that in itself gets me in the best mood.  I could watch Christmas movies all day, all year! Home Alone, The Grinch, Elf, etc - I can't wait!! Also, my Bath & Body Works home items addiction goes into OVERDRIVE with the holiday scents!!!! haha  Unfortunely my family will not be able to come this year as planned, so we will be spending Christmas with Lance's family also. (we got to have everyone over for Thanksgiving).  That is one of the blessings of marriage, you gain a whole other family to have around for holidays and celebrations!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and is getting into the Christmas spirit!! :)
