Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday!  I love Thursdays because it means we're just one day away from Friday and that much closer to the weekend!

Today I am thankful for:

Thanksgiving

What are you thankful for?  So, right about now I'm whipping up a turkey, mashed potatoes & gravy and green bean casserole, awaiting the arrival of my In-laws, my parents, my brother & future-sis-in-law and my brother-in law. I cannot wait until our home is filled with the delicious smell of Thanksgiving and the sound of family.  So, I've planned ahead of time to provide you with my Thanksgiving Post.  I'm sure many of you are busy today but, I just want to wish all of you a very happy and family filled Thanksgiving Day!

I thought there would be no better day to do a Thankful Thursday than Today, Thanksgiving Day 2009! 

I am thankful for:

• My family.  There is nothing more important in this world than my family. I love them and do not know what I would do without them. (This includes all family members, extended family & In-laws!)
• Good Food.  I am hosting Thanksgiving for the 3rd time and I am very excited.  I love that everyone is willing to come to our home (even though we live a ways away).  Everyone brings something to share, we make the turkey & the potatoes & gravy.
• Thanksgiving.  This is my favorite holiday!  I love eating delicious food and relaxing all day long.
• My job.  I am thankful that I have a job and even more thankful that I get Thursday & Friday off!
• Great weather.  I think this is probably the first Thanksgiving day that we haven't had snow on the ground.  It's suppose to be about 40 degrees and beautiful!
• God.  I am so thankful that I believe in something bigger and grater than myself.  With Faith anything is possible.

What are you thankful for on Thanksgiving of 2009?

Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for:

• Warm sweaters.  This cool weather is getting to me already!
  
• Hot tea. It warms me up and I don't know what I would do without it sometimes!
• Free weekends!  We have been busy all summer and finally have a chance to stay home and relax!
• Payday.  Today is payday and I love it!
• Grey's tonight!
• October.  It's the beginning of fall or apparently winter and also reminds me of just how close the holidays are!
• Family.  I can never forget to be thankful for them!
• Plans.  I love making plans with the hubby and we have some big plans in store over the next year or 2! :-)

Today I am Thankful For:

• This coming weekend!  I have Friday & Monday off and the hubby and I are going on an extended Anniversary weekend!
• Rainy mornings.  I was able to sleep in this morning while it was cold and rainy and it was great!
• Wine.  We will be drinking some very good wine to help celebrate our 1st anniversary this weekend!
• My parents.  They are taking our puppy, Bear, this weekend so we don't have to worry about him.
• My in-laws.  They are sending us off with some wine and fresh baked bread to indulge in over the weekend.
• My husband.  My entire life I dreamed of what my life would be and I have to say that I am not disappointed with how it turned out.  My husband is amazing and I love him so very much.
• Today.  It is my Friday!! :-)

Today I am thankful for:

• It being Thursday!  That means, tomorrow is Friday and it's the weekend!  Granted I do have to work Saturday, but it's at a volunteer fair, which means flextime for next Friday!  So all in all, a good thing!
• A good nights sleep!  Last night, I stayed up a bit later than normal because I haven't been sleeping well.  I guess that and a little exercise beforehand really helped.  I slept so well last night, but I'm still tired! :-(
• My co-workers.  I don't know how I would get through a day without them! 
• My in-laws.  They are so gracious enough to take us to The Fireside Theater in Wisconsin when we visit for the Halloween weekend!
• My wonderful Husband.  I can never not be thankful for him!  He's an amazing husband and will be a wonderful father someday! 
• Online banking.  I don't know what I would do without without online banking... I do all of my bills online and I can check my statement at anytime during the day.
• Planning.  I have to say, I love planning things.  Whether it be a trip to see my parents, my in-laws or friends.  I just love planning stuff, but then when we are busy every weekend, I always wonder why I don't let us spend more time at home! :-)
• Fall TV Shows.  Grey's is on tonight and I.Can.Not.Wait!!  

What are you thankful for?

I am thankful for:

• Fall.  Yes, I'm always thankful for fall around this time of year!  I love caramel apples, apple cider, candy corn & peanuts, Halloween decorations, sweatshirt weather, window's open weather, cool crisp air and trick or treaters!
• Staff meeting days at work.  Usually we have a potluck afterwords, but today we're going to Huhot which is a Mongolian grill!  So excited!
• My brother.  We may have not always been super super close, but I have a feeling in the next few years to come we will grow even closer.
• My husband.  He's been working 70+ hours this week and will do it again next week.  He still comes home, gives me a kiss, and does something incredibly dorky to make me laugh.  He still has the energy to talk with me, ask me how my day was and even fix a thing or two around the house.  I'll always be thankful for him.
• My parents.  Whenever I have something go wrong that needs to be fixed, I still call my dad, even though my hubby can usually fix it.  He was always my go to guy when something needed fixing before I met Jesse.  And my Mom.... Words cannot describe how great she is.  She is my best friend and I wouldn't have it any other way.  We have our days when we get mad at each other, but at the end of the day, I know I can always count on her and trust her with everything.
• October being around the corner!  October 4 is our 1 year anniversary!!  We are celebrating by going to Chicago!  I asked hubby to do the planning since I planned most of our wedding. We'll see what we'll be up to while we are there, I cannot wait!
• Holidays.  Thanksgiving is my most favorite time of the year and it's just around the corner!  Well after Halloween and all of those cute kiddos!! :-)

• My fall shows returning!  To include:  Grey's, Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters, Private Practice, One Tree Hill, House, Medium, and I'm sure there's a few more! haha
• The thought of moving back to my hometown in a year, hopefully
• My Mother, today is her 50th birthday!  I'll post on that later
• My husband, as usual.  I just don't know what I'd do without him, he's great, wonderful, goofy, fun, loving and hardworking!

Today I am thankful for:

• My new blogy friends! I've had a lot of new followers lately and I'm very thankful that they are willing to give a damn about what I have to say! :-) Thanks!
• Weekends at home. This is the first weekend in 9 weeks that we've been able to spend the entire weekend at home, doing whatever we want! I.Can.Not.Wait!
• Co-workers. I don't know how I would get through the day without them. I love all of our inside jokes and all of the laughs we have when we're really stressed out.
• Friday. Enough said about that
• Fall weather. I love football time and football weather.
  
• Starbucks. When the weather gets cold, I love to hop on over and get a Carmel Spice Apple Cider. (I probably won't hop over so much as drive) If you haven't tired these, it is a must!
• My Mom. She's visiting this weekend and we're going to go for lunch and shopping like old times. When I lived closer, it would be our Saturday routine and it was so much fun. I really miss getting to spend more time with her.
• The Dentist. I actually hate going, but I love how my teeth feel afterwards. ( I have an appointment tomorrow morning, pray for no problems!!)

Today I'm thankful for:

• Lazy nights after work with my husband. We watched a movie last night and it was just what I needed.
• Sleeping in on Saturday mornings. I love me some sleep, especially cuddled up with my husband.
• Netflix. I don't know what I did without you; I can get fun mail every other day if we stay on schedule!
• Fall. I have missed you so much. I love opening the window's and letting the cool crisp air come flowing into the house.
• Semi-casual dress at work. I love coming in wearing capri's & flip-flops and jeans on Friday!
• Fridays. They make me so happy.
• Sundays. BY far my most favorite day of the week. I try to keep this day as simple as possible, especially in the fall/winter. It's saved for relaxing, football watching and cuddling up on the couch!

I'm thankful for:

• ETSY- I have found so many cute things off of their lately, thanks guys!
• Vacations- We haven't had a weekend home in over 2 months, but I love spending time with my husband doing fun things during the summer. We never know when it might not just be the two of us anymore
• Running- I'm not super good at it, but I love to do it when I can
• Jazzercise- this is a fun way to get in shape if you stick with it, check it out!
• LASIK- I haven't known what it was like to wake up and see perfectly since I was in 6th grade, so getting LASIK was amazing and I'm so glad I got the oppourtunity
• Our furry children- Bear spent a couple weeks at my parents and my brother's house because we were gone so much, when we were home without him, the house was so quiet. I hate being away from him and our two girls (cats, Josie & Allie), it's great being able to come home to them.
• Mail- I LOVE getting mail, REAL mail in the mailbox, delivered by the mailman (or lady), because it reminds me of the people that care about me (who take a little extra effort to send something snail-mail these days. Thanks!!

Thankful Thursdays

I'm trying to do this as a weekly post and so far I'm 2 for 2! :-)

I am thankful for:

• My planner- I don't know what I would do without it. We have been so busy lately and if it weren't for the little green book, we would forget half of the things we are suppose to do! I carry it everywhere with me.
• Brownie Batter Blizzards from Dairy Queen- Need I say more??
• New clothes- there's something about putting a new shirt on or new capri's that just excites me.... God thing one piece of new clothing keeps me pretty content for quite awhile!
• Family- I think I post about this every week. I just can't seem to be thankful enough for my family they are just amazing!
• DVR- Without this, I would never get to watch my favorite shows.... I have a gazillion of them! I hate commercials with a passion, so this allows me to choose to watch my shows whenever I want and fast forward through all of the commercials!
• ETSY- I've recently discovered this website and it's amazing. I love buying handmade things from people who are truly creative!
• Marriage- I'm thankful for this daily. I hit the jackpot with my husband and feel so blessed everyday. I couldn't imagine spending my life with anyone more perfect for me than he is. We can lay in bed before falling asleep and get as goofy as they come because we are so comfortable being ourselves infront of each other. It isn't about impressing each other anymore, it's about having fun and falling even more in love each and every day. I can say for certian that I have never felt more in love with him than I do today but I'm sure tomorrow will quickly surprass anything I felt today.

Miss Honey Dew over at Life After I "Dew" always posts Thankful Thursdays and I thought I would join in on the fun!

Happy Thursday! That means tomorrow is Friday! :-) Yeahhh

Today I am thankful for:

• My husbands sense of humor. No matter the mood, situation, or time of day he can always act silly infront of me and make me laugh. I love it.
• My job. Though it is challenging at times, it is still a job. We still have money coming in and most people don't have that these days (Thanks Miss Honey Dew)
• The sun. We have been missing it for a few days and this morning it was shining bright!
• My parents. I can never be thankful enough for them. They taught me more things than I can even mention and have always been there for me no matter what. I don't know what I would do without them.
• My Brother. Though we argue from time to time, at the end of the day we still are family and would be there for each other in a heartbeat.
• My cell phone & the internet. Without them, I would probably be dead to the world. I would feel lost and very uncomfortable. (Maybe that's a problem! haha)
• My in-laws. Most people loath having to spend extra time with their in-laws, but I actually enjoy it. It's a change of pace and it keeps us connected to family. They are welcoming with open arms each and everytime we visit.
• My hubby's Job. It is a great job with great benefits and w/out it, we would be in big trouble. He does enjoy it, but from time to time the 60+ hour work weeks get to him. He's such a hard worker and I am amazed by that. (It actually reminds me of my parents!)
• House of China Chinese food! (Located in Dubuque, IA). This is by far the best Chinese I have ever eaten in my life! Egg roll included!
• Water. I love love love water. I can never have enough. It is my go to drink of choice! I try to drink at least 70oz's of water a day. Yes, that is a lot
• Lucy's Fruit Smoothies. Lucy over at Lucy's Kitchen shared a recipe for Fruit Smoothies a while back. They are delicious! I try to make at least one a day! Stop on over and see some of her other fantastic recipe's!
