9-19

9- I am thankful for my husband, who has decided to take on another home project while we head south this weekend:)
10- I am thankful for my wonderful hometown. Moving away has made me appreciate it (and miss it) even more!
11- I am thankful for the men and women who serve/have served our country.
12- I am thankful thankful for my daddy. He is such an amazing man and has one of the best personalities!
13- I am thankful for my grandmother. She is one of the kindest and most thoughtful people that I know and I am fortunate for everyday that I am able to spend with her.
14- I am thankful for a healthy child. Today, LL had her 3 year-old checkup. I am also thankful for her wonderful sweet doctor.
15- I am thankful for marriage. Today, we had a shower celebrating the recent marriage of a friend at school. I loved seeing them so happy. I also loved being able to help plan the shower:)
16- I am thankful for girls' nights out. Tonight I enjoyed an evening of shopping with one of my besties at the Junior League Christmas shopping event. As much as I cherish my time with LL, sometimes shopping with adults is a little easier than shopping with a toddler:)
17- I am thankful for my college roommates/life-long friends. Today, I had to say good-bye to one of them as she is moving back to her hometown. I will miss her greatly, but look forward to making trips back to Kentucky to see her!
18- I am thankful for the amazing miracle of life. Today, my best friend of 24 years welcomed her beautiful and absolutely perfect little girl into the world.
19- I am thankful for my sister. Even though we are 9 years apart, we grow closer together each year.

5-8

5-I am thankful for rekindled friendships. One of my dearest friends and her little girl came up to spend the weekend with us. We lost touch after high school for several years, but I am so fortunate to have her back in my life.
6-I am thankful for my mother, who is celebrating her birthday today. I don't know what I would do without her!
7-I am thankful for a childcare provider that LL absolutely loves. She gets so excited about going to "school" and she often asks if she can go during the weekend days.
8-I am thankful for Godly women that have been put in my life. I am lifting one of these women up today, as she is going through a difficult time and needs extra prayers today.

Thankful 1-4

I will be posting one thing for each day that I am thankful for this month. Now, I know that I will not post everyday, but I will play catch up for the days that I miss:)

1-I am thankful for the beautiful fall weather. I LOVE seeing all of the red, yellow, and orange trees during my daily drives.

2-I am thankful for my friends. Tonight, we went to see Disney on Ice with boyfriend and his family and we had a blast!

3- I am thankful for my job. Even during rough days like today, I am blessed to have a job, a great one at that! I love the people I work with, the children I work with, and am blessed to be there each day.

4-I am thankful for Fridays! As much as I love my job, it is a bit tiring at times and I love having a little break between weeks:)

Halloween

We have had a very busy few weeks! We have definitely celebrated Halloween, as LL dressed up a total of 6 times!!! Bless her heart, on Tuesday she was ready to put it on again!
This year was SO much fun! We went trick-or-treating with boyfriend and his family and they were SO cute together! They held hands and went up to each door together. LL especially loved getting the candy! A few things that I shook my head about but definitely want to remember are:
1-LL reaching into bowls/baskets/etc. to get more candy as the person would try to put just a few pieces into her bucket.
2- LL getting a little impatient when someone didn't come to the door fast enough and just opening it herself and dragging boyfriend IN THE HOUSE with her....I was MORTIFIED!!!
LL has really not had "candy" in the past other than an M&M or gummy bear, but she has discovered a whole new world and is CRAZY about it!
