Our Journal!!

Ok So I am a total Pinterest and Blog Nut
DUHH, I know I've told you a million times!
But some things I see
I have to immediately do
I mean like I am writing this post as I am scrambling into my
craft closet goodies and looking for the perfect tools.




Check out this site
and this post
So I made us some cute Journals!
Hubs is so excited! he was like ummm no, but he is gonna do it anyway!


One for just our everday notes, lists and such

The other for the mushy stuff :)








24 Days of Thanks { Day 17 and 18 }

Day 17

I'm telling you!
These Days of Thanks are hard to decide!
I wanna do more than one thing
then I get so overwhelmed I end of just trying to think of the little things
Within the last 5 minutes
I have thought about all the wonderful women in my life that I am thankful for!

A grandmother that is the most loving caring woman I have ever met 
Not a bad bone in her body
She always knows exactly what to say
and NEVER NEVER NEVER Judges anyone
she is so forgiving and a true true christian
If I even become half the woman she is I would be truly blessed

A mother who is the true best friend
No matter what, my heart bursts when I think about my mom
I'm even teary eyed typing this as we speak
she means that much to me!!
Life would not be the same without her
No day goes by that I don't talk to her
I just can't, I HAVE to have some kind of contact everyday

A Sister in Law that is the most amazing mother and wife
she is a true saint
I love watching her interact with my nephews
and she is an amazing teacher
she is one person that I see that is truly doing what they were put on earth for
to be a teacher and mother

Oh man and all my friends, Aunts, Mike's mom Marge,
gosh the list could go on and on about the amazing women in my life
I have to say it's all these different women that make me who I am
And for that I am SO SO Thankful!







Day 18

Today on my walk/run I was listening to my music
and thinking about all kinds of things
I always forget how much I love "Me" time when I run
I don't even remember what I was thinking about
but I suddenly stopped
took in a huge breath of the cold air and thought......

What if I could never do this again?
I take life and the little things for granted
Life can flash right before your eyes
I just want to grab hold of it and hold on tight
I want to embrace every moment of it!
I get so caught up in things I don't have
or things I can't control
I just need to really count my blessings!

As I was thinking of all this I was approaching our house
and I thought wow the sky is always beautiful here
Maybe because we have finally found our place
our home
the place we want to stay


Happy Friday!

24 Days of Thanks { Day 16 }

Today I am thankful for a husband that humors me when I want to do dorky things
Like Christmas pictures every year for Cards.
On the front porch
With a tripod
In front of all our new neighbors
right at the time they were all driving home from work
Priceless!

24 Days of Thanks { Day 13 }

Today I am thankful for a wonderful family.

I will forever be a Seal :)
And that is a wonderful thing to be!




Life

I am not going to write much today because I am an emotional blubbering mess.
So most my pictures will tell the happy part of the day.

Long story short like I told Hubs
I never knew how many times in one day your heart could feel so happy it could bust
then so sad it breaks.

But Life it's crazy and beautiful all at the same time.....



This "old" man turned 50!  Happy Birthday Uncle Tom

Great Cake Jessica!

Some of the yummy food



Maggie

Grizz


Goofball!

We are still learning to share in the seal family hahaha



The maker of this wonderful family

I love how my dad interacts with the grandkids, makes my heart ache for him to do this with my children someday

Love my SIL

Happy Bday Tommy

Babies and Kids all around!


If only Hubs was in this picture, the men that complete my life!




Missed the rest of the brothers and sisters :)  I'd give anything to have our WHOLE family together again

Best I could get, note to self, bring tripod next time!


So lucky to have a grandpa like him!


See why my heart could bust with love and happiness!!!
You don't wanna hear about the heartache
Happy Sunday
