Hello there my friends! It's good to finally be writing after so long of an absence. I have been busy, what's new right? Owning a home is a wonderful thing. We will never be bored ever again in our lives. Each night when my husband gets home from work, we are working on one thing or another. Saturdays are full of yardwork, remodeling, or installing something here or there. But we are loving it. Our home is finally feeling like ours, and I'm finally able to say that I love our home. It takes a while to convince me, probably because we've moved nearly 10 times in 3 years. And we're done with that. Yay.
Last week, Cheri over at I am Momma Hear Me Roar challenged us to write a list of 50 things we're thankful for. So, here we go!
1. Tall socks in the winter
2. Our wood burning stove (that's one of our projects...finally done!)

If you haven't done this in awhile, you should try it. Put on a favorite song or two, and just write what comes to your mind first. My day was beginning to be boring and blah, but after writing the list, it made me remember all the things I have. :) What a good thing. And now, I think I'll head out for my walk. I think the sun is trying to peek out behind the clouds! :) Have a wonderful thanksgiving everybody!
