Hello dolls! I am starting a new segment on this little blog. I stumbled upon this wonderful idea from Tatiana over at Love, Life, Lace. She's just darling so you should definitely head over to her blog and check it out too. Anyway, she started a "Weekly Gratitude" event*, and I am so excited to start participating! Sometimes life gets so stressful and difficult, it's easy for us to get overwhelmed. So I'm going to take one past a week and write a little bit about the wonderful things in my own life that I am so grateful for. I think a lot of us have come to expect things, especially from people who are close to us, and it's really sad. We take advantage and forget the little things in life. I am certainly not accusing anyone, because I am definitely sometimes guilty of this too. But no more. I am really going to make a conscious effort to increase my gratitude and express that. So without further ado, today I am thankful for:
New outfits. Ok ok I know, I sound totally superficial but hear me out. I'm not talking about buying new clothes, I'm talking about getting my creative mind flowing and putting together different pieces that I normally wouldn't wear together. I like being creative and I love fashion so it's always nice.
Food Network. Seriously, I am addicted. And it is not getting any better. Maybe it's because I just love being in the kitchen...cooking, baking, you know. I find the things that people can do with some simple ingredients just so incredible. Even if the food is not anything that I would ever even consider, it's crazy and I love it. That's right future husband, someday you are going to seriously appreciate all the research I'm doing now. :) In fact, I'm watching it as I write this.
My roommate. I've been living with her since my freshman year, so yes it's been awhile. 4 years to be exact. Pretty much complete opposite of me in every way, but for the most part we get along splendidly. (I've been lucky enough to never have a fight with any of my roommates come to think of it.) We have fun doing random things and we loove to laugh.
My Patriarchal blessing. Nothing further on this one.
Health. 2 of my nieces got sick with the stomach flu this weekend. Kelsey was the only one safe from the bug but the two littler ones were miserable. Little Addison was throwing up for the first time and I just felt awful for her. They are both better now! Yay! And my sister sent me this picture because it was the first time they'd seen her smile in a couple days.
You guys, do you understand how adorable she is! Ah, can't get enough of them.
I think that's a good start for today because I had a horribly long day at school and I am just so tired and need a little relaxation time before bed.
So what are you all grateful for? I'd love to hear from you!
