so thankful!

these past couple of days i have been thinking about everything i am thankful for. i am blessed. we are SO blessed. i am thankful for so many incredible things that i don't have enough room to type everything but i truly am thankful for everything God has given me and the wonderful family and friends i have!

so instead....some random tuesday thoughts (with not many pictures.. boring)--

• i made a pecan pie last night for a coworker. my entire house smelt amazing and now i want to make one everyday to keep that smell. i might not like to cook but i definately know how to make a delicious pecan pie. thanks mom!
• we went to austin last weekend to celebrate thanksgiving with my wonderful in-laws. we had a full feast on saturday. cant wait for another one on thursday! i feel lucky to get 2 delicious thanksgiving feasts. maybe i should start running again?
• when we got home on sunday i had a package in the mail. my precious sister sent me decision points by George W. Bush. i was so excited. the only catch? she wants me to be at page 175 before i see her tomorrow so we can discuss. i am on page 55. i am positive i will get to page 175 because i have so much love for GWB.
• did i mention we are going to oklahoma for thanksgiving? GWB's book should give me plenty to do in the 7 hour car ride. weather for turkey day? high of 40. wonderful!
• we have something every.single.weekend. until after new years. busy? i think so. but i love the holidays and am so excited for everything planned.
• also on the agenda for december? meeting precious baby tate!! i am so ready for him to make his grand debut!

• justin has been putting up our outside christmas lights for the past few days! can't wait to turn them on saturday night. he comes from a family of Griswold's. think im kidding? once i find a picture of his parents house i will show you. don't worry its classy not trashy. :)
• i have a ton of decorations from our old apt and a few things i have bought then 4 months later decided i don't want for our house. what the heck do i do with it all? any suggestions? i honestly don't just want to give it all away but it is taking up one of my guest rooms.
• and last but not least... i still have not picked a christmas picture. since i lost my camera in july and it had march-july pictures on it the only pictures i basically have of 2010 are on my phone. who wants to use an iphone picture for their yearly christmas picture? not me! so we need to take one. asap.

have a wonderful thanksgiving with family and friends! lots of love!
