30 Days of Thanks

There are lots of blogging ideas out there but one of the ones I came across this morning that I really liked was: Blogging each day for the 30 days of November something you are thankful for.

So here I am catching up to this a few days late but I totally want to join in on this little trend...

4 things I'm thankful for for November 1-4:

Day 1: My husband.  My hardworking hubby has brought so much joy to my life from the very first time we met at The Squire almost 8 years ago.  I never knew what it felt like to be loved and cared for so much before I met him.  I am the kind of girl that daydreamed and prayed to fall in love every single day before I met him.  He provided me with the love story I believe everybody deserves.  I'm so lucky to have him by my side through every up and down that we encounter.  He's an incredible daddy, friend, son, son-in-law, brother, brother-in-law and employee.  He is passionate about everything he does and I admire his commitment to everything he puts his heart into.  He loves life and the people in it.  How lucky am I!?  I know.  That's why he's my number one thing I'm thankful for!

Day 2:  Braden and Gracie.  These two little humans have changed my life to the utmost level of happiness.  As much as I daydreamed about my love story I also daydreamed about being a mommy.  The thing is, I couldn't have imagined how great it was going to be.  These little beings have made my life so complete that it hurts.  Their cheeks can't be kissed enough.  Their hands can't be held long enough.  My eyes can't stop looking at them.  I am so in love with B and Gracie Girl that I sometimes can't imagine my heart won't burst at any second.  I'm blessed and I know it.

Day 3:  Other blogging mommies!  Okay, the first two were super sentimental - I don't think I can keep up with that for 30 days :)  My days are filled with "my life" and "my day-to-day happenings" that it's fun to check in with Hilary, Amy, Kate (yes, I'm a fan - so what!?), Lisa, Tessa, Jess, and Stef every day or so to see what kind of things they are up to.

Day 4: My real life mommy girlfriends.  The ladies I spend most of my time with are pretty darn awesome.  I think it is pretty rare as an adult to find a group of ladies that like to have the same kind of fun that you do and are in the same place in life that you are.  I'm not sure if this statement is true or not but I'm going to say that it is.  I'm so thankful to have girls I can call on when I have something to brag about, something to cry about, something to worry about, something to smile about and most importantly when I need to have some fun.  So thank you ladies, I'm so thankful for you and all that you have brought into my life!

Happy November Everyone!

One year later...

It's been a year since my last post.  I would never have guessed that if I hadn't come back to my blog today to start again.  I would have thought maybe it'd been 6 months, 9 months at most!  Well look how fast a year flies by when you are busy, busy, busy.

I've spent the last few weeks reading lots of other SAHM's blogs.  I have even become quite the follower of ones such as A Good Life and Baby Moo Hoo and It's a Wonderful Life.  These mom's have inspired me to blog again and I am so grateful!  I have no idea how much it really matters to anyone out there but honestly, it matters to me and that is all that counts!  I look forward to reading their posts and seeing their pictures and I have really wanted to do the same with my crazy little world.

So welcome back Four Foxes and a Hound!  Looking forward to posting again...
