thankful filled week.

I am thankful for oh so much,
so as we continue down this thankful blog road...

I am thankful for wonderful women around me that keep me smiling, busy, and encouraged while my husband is away.

I am thankful for ladies that came and enjoyed my workshop for Stampin' Up and made me feel like I did a job well done, even with only two attendees.

I am thankful for sudo moms and sisters.. becuase as much as I love my real ones, the sudo ones are amazing too.

I am thankful for work... honestly I can't complain truely about the flexibility and continual honesty in most things done there and for me... overall, really can't be too much less than thankful.

I am thankful for my wonderful, hardworking husband, especially when life day schedules don't make it possible to talk, he understands, and I am sure makes him sad in the same way it makes me sad, that we won't have dinner together, and we won't go to bed together for another 4 1/2 weeks, but once that comes, it will be lots of all of the above, but we know we will talk tomorrow and it'll be alright.

Thanksgiving thanks

I am thankful for a wonderful husband who although tough and a bit bullheaded at times, adores me and takes care of me, even when I'm freaking out and believe I may be bleeding to death.

Thankful for a plane ticket that brought him home this weekend to me.

The dresser that we finally refinished, two years after getting and saying we would... It's now only one later of polyurethane away from being done done.

Thankful and blessed for the wonderful time we were able to spend at home together. Being a fairly normal couple.

Thankful for the longest portion of our apartness to be done.

Thankful for the ability to afford another ticket for my husband to be home for Christmas and New Years, I feel soo blessed.

Thankful for good friends coming to visit soon.

Thankful for stamp projects to keep my mind busy and entertained.

Thankful for open ended possibilities.

Thankful for a job that just gave me 4 days off in a row.

Thankful for a dog that loves with no end ( even though she's snoring right now)

Thankfully thankful

So I missed a week.... however,

I am so thankful for a wonderful husband, I arrived home this evening to an unexpected package from the Mr. , and inside was two stamping punches... he is, adorable, thoughtful, and mine... seriously, what guy buys paper punches....  : )

Sixth months married... grant it, we have been together for probably roughly a month and a half (guestimation there) of that time, but I can tell you I never imagined the different things we would go through and learn and become in that time.

Coffee... sorry its here again... coffee is simply put, a mood booster, morning greeter, afternoon pick me up, good conversation, and many other things... just plain lovely.

Fuzzy children.. because they are always happy to see you, always ready to cuddle, and always super cute, oh and the added bonus of being a dust buster...

Stampin' Up.... a hobby, craft, and pleasant enjoyment.... (I also may have made my Christmas cards yesterday....on Halloween)... curved corner punches and embossing powder entertained me for a few hours yesterday....

now off the bed after a glass of wine and some "Rules of Engagement" episodes (my current Netflix tv series obsession... more of an 90's sitcom feel, and makes me laugh and smile)

Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween... and are excited for the next few weeks of holiday prepared-ness...

I will have to say that Kristopher is coming next weekend (Sooooooo excited) so I may be a little pre-occupied for next weeks Friday Thankfulness-es. but we will be sure that Thankgiving is documented and shared (We are celebrating thanksgiving next weekend.... so you'll have time to decide what you want to borrow ; ) )
