Thankful

With thanksgiving in the air I thought I would take a moment to express my gratitude for all the many blessings we enjoy. What a wonderful time of year. I am so thankful for my honey who is so good to me. I can't imagine not having my best friend there to talk to, laugh with, cry with, and just be with. He is so good to me, even though I don't always seem to appreciate all that he does I truly am thankful for him. What a blessing family is! I am so thankful for family. I am so glad I have the knowledge that families are forever because I love my family too much! I am thankful for all of the different personalities and strengths different family members have. It makes life so exciting and enjoyable. I am thankful for Mikes family and how loving they have been to welcome me into their lives.

Crayon Box

Halloween this year wasn't quite the same as usual. First of all I had to work that night...which meant I slept all day. Then I didn't get my moms famous cinnamon rolls or any chili, since she is in Arkansas. Lastly I couldn't talk Mike into dressing up if I wasn't going to be here with him.

The day turned out to be better than I thought.

I was really wanting some cinnamon rolls so when I woke up I put in some of the Rhodes rolls ones in the oven. To my surprise when Mike got off work he brought home two packages from the store. Needless to say we ended up with PLENTY of cinnamon rolls for the two of us.

I had been trying to put my costume together for work for the last couple of days. We had to wear scrubs and figure something out with that in mind. Since we work in a nursery we thought about doing nursery rhymes but that seemed too difficult to work out...so we ended up all being crayola crayons! This is our attempt to look like a crayon box.

We had a great time that night. I do have to say that I missed seeing all the cute costumes but I did get to see one cute pebbles! One of our NICU baby's mom had made her the tiniest pebbles costume and she was SO dang cute!

I hope everyone Had a Great Halloween
