Month of Thanks Day 7, 8, & 9!

Day 7: I'm thankful for country music! And when I say country music, I mean REAL country music.. Like George Strait and Alan Jackson kind of stuff. I like southern rock too. I'm NOT a fan of "pop country" *cough* Taylor Swift.... BLEH! Anyways... Country music has a lot of conservative views and has a simplicity kind of lifestyle which is what I love! Did anyone watch the CMA's this week?? Weren't Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood HILARIOUS hosting!? I love them! If you haven't had a chance to watch this glorious video, watch it!!! It was making me bust out laughing the whole time!

Day 8: I'm thankful for crafts!! I love crafting! Even if I don't have that much time or money to do them, I love it! It helps my creativity flow and my mind needs it! Seriously they make me so happy! I'm thankful I got my Mom's crafty genes! I specifically love wedding crafts. My best friend is getting married and you can bet I've been all in for helping with DIY wedding decor and bouquets! I think my calling in life is to be a wedding planner/decorator! Check it out:

Iced Branches (The glue is still drying, it dries clear!)

Bouquets!

Ribbon Roses! SO fun and very pretty!

Day 9: I'm thankful for my Mom! She is such a hard working person. She taught me how to set goals and to never bail on anything you commit to. She also taught me to craft like mentioned above! We both have the same style (for the most part) so decorating things isn't to much of a headache with her =) Love you mom!

Month of Thanks: Day 4, 5 & 6!

Day 4: I'm thankful for electricity! With the recent power outage we had, it was amazing how much electricity and power we use every day. It was nice not sitting on my bum watching TV all night though. I'm going to start limiting my screen time for one of my New Years Resolution!

Our reaction when the power goes out...

Day 5: I'm thankful for my camera. Although I get frustrated with it, (partly because I'm still learning how to use it) I'm thankful I have one! I'm thankful I can better document my life and the nature around me.

Day 6: I'm thankful for my dogs Bri and Hershey! No one is happier to see me EVERY time I come home more then they are! Even if I'm gone for 5 minutes! 

        

Month of Thanks Day 2 & 3

Day 2: I'm thankful for my brother Dylan. We are only 13 months apart so we grew up doing everything together. Most of my first memories I have are with him. I'm so thankful for the times we have spent together. I'm thankful that he is serving the Lord in London, England. I'm thankful for the example he is to me. I can't wait until he is home again! Only 9ish more months!!!

Day 3: I'm thankful for the Sanctity of Marriage. 

"Marriage Isn't for You"

This article has been circulating on my Facebook account all morning. So I opened and read it and WOW! It is a great article. This article is for everyone to read: Married, almost married, or even single.  

I'm thankful that the Lord instated marriage upon this Earth. 

I'm thankful for a mostly unselfish marriage (Let's be honest, everyone is selfish sometimes!).

The month of THANKS!

It's that time of year again! The time of year where we can reflect on the things in our lives we are thankful for! I will be posting at least one thing I am thankful for for each day of the month! If you want to join me, please do. If you don't have a blog, then just write it down somewhere and reflect on the things that are important in your life. 

The 1st thing I am thankful for is my husband Dallan. 

Without this guy walking into my life, I wouldn't be where I am today. I know for a fact I would be on a path that I wouldn't like to be on.. It's cliche, but he saved me spiritually. He helped me understand the doctrines of our church better then anyone has ever done before. Dallan is so patient with me and understands me like no one else. He loves me even when I'm crazy, dorky, and wild! I'm so thankful to have him FOREVER!!!
