Thanksgiving time!

Today is Thanksgiving and everyone says what they are thankful for.

I am thankful for my life. I am so content with it and I am so grateful for everything that I have and am able to do.

I am so thankful for my family. I love them all so much and I am so glad that they are my family. I am so thankful that we live close to John. I can lure him into my plans so easily and he is such a good friend to us. I am so happy that December and Arthur live so close and that they are so good to us. I am glad that we have dinner buddies and that Josh has such a good big brother who helps him when he needs someone to talk to about cars :)  Even though I don't get to spend this Thanksgiving with my 2 sisters I am so glad that they never seem so far because of cell phones and internet. I am so glad that we all love each other so much. I am thankful that I get to see Jacy for Christmas and that Jordan doesn't live far and that she has Seylah! I am so happy that we get to watch Seylah grow up and that she is such a healthy, happy little girl.

 I am so thankful for my home. It is so nice to have a place to call your own and to have space to inspire you and to create memories in. Home is always a centerpiece of people's lives and mine is my place that so much of my happiness comes from. It is where I sleep, (which really makes me happy) it is where I get my clean clothes, and clean sheets!, It is where I spend alot of quality time with family, and it is where I get to try out my new ideas and have a creative blast, painting, cooking, redo-ing furniture etc.

I am thankful for my husband. He works hard and he always is thinking of ways to make me happy. I am thankful that we are both healthy and that we have the same goals and dreams for our life together. Sitting at home together is the best place in the world. He is my home and I am so content to come home and be with him.

I am thankful for my doggies. well Jay is a good boy. He only wants to lay on the carpets with his hairy body. Dixie is a challenge with her bratty chewing. But it is nice to have a little doggie that is so excited to see me and always wants to be near us. It is nice to have company when Josh leaves at night and it makes me less lonely.

I am thankful that I am able to work with people that I enjoy and that work is not so bad. I never dread it in the morning and I am glad that it is so painless because without working my house wouldn't be nearly as comfortable if I didn't have money to buy it :)

I am thankful for my parents. They have taught me well in alot of things and are there for advice whenever I need them. They love me even when I am being cranky and provided for me for many years when I was running around carefree in our property. They let me have all the animals that I wanted well except for a hamster :) and let me have the best childhood ever.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is what I want...

I would like to play with every one of these animals. Seriously. I bet they wouldn't chew on my walls and my cabinets like my little rat dog.

 

Who doesnt love baby animals.....

Look at zooborns.com

Picture taking!

So winter is here! It snowed! I am so glad that I got a chance to go out and take these photos before it got all muddy and cold! Arthur, December, and Caleb were a blast to hang out with and take pictures of. Halloween was pretty uneventful! I had so much fun watching the cute little trick or treaters come to the house. And we had pizza and fun times with friends that stopped by.

I also made a quick trip down to Mesa to see my lovely sister and niece

Look at those cute teeth coming in!!!!

Come here you duck.

wait.... where are you going?!

This cold statue is so nice.....

I took a work trip trip to California this past weekend! Alot of fun. We had a road trip down to Yuma for a Seminar and then headed over to California the next day. Working all weekend didn't even seem like work. I wish that we got to see a few more sights but next time! This week has blurred into last week but I have this Friday off so I can sleep in and relax and hopefully get Josh's rocking chair re finished.
