Thankful Through Thanksgiving: Day 5

Today I am thankful for opportunities that knock.

A few months ago when I left my corporate job I had absolutely no idea I would be so grateful to be invited back within just four months time. A little over a week ago I got a call asking if I could come fill in for awhile, and I said that I would be happy to (and I was!). It couldn't have been a better time for me personally to have a 9-5 job knock on my door, and it was so nice to see everyone again! I knew I would miss them when I left, and I was right. It's good to be back (even though it will be for just a short while).

Thankful Through Thanksgiving: Day 4

Today I am thankful for saltine crackers. These posts are written each day and not set up in advance, so right now, saltines are the first thing that come to mind (and right now, I really wish I had some with me...). They have helped me tremendously over the past couple of months...for a couple of weeks they are almost all that I ate!

Thankful Through Thanksgiving: Day 3

Today I am thankful for my husband’s family. These are pictures I took at a retirement party this summer, and yes, they are line-dancing, and yes, it is still light outside.

Jon and our oldest niece, Ella.

I would guess this is the electric slide, but I could be very wrong, they do know quiet a few line-dances!

Jon's parents.

Thankful Through Thanksgiving: Day 2

Today I am thankful for picnics at my parents house. Their yard is always beautiful and the food is always amazing. Add in some good friends and family and we always have a wonderful time!

Fresh corn on the cob with cilantro lime butter.

A family game of bocce ball.

A gorgeous hanging fern.

All images were from a family picnic this past July when some relatives from New York were in town.

Thankful Through Thanksgiving: Day 1

Today I am thankful for my husband, Jon, for many more reasons than I feel like listing tonight!

At a friends house this July.

At my cousins wedding this August.

We are really bad about taking pictures together, mainly because I am usually behind the lens! I am really going to try to change that...especially now that we have a little one on the way!

I'm Baaaaack :)

So...it's been two months since my last post...and here's why:

I'm pregnant (!) and I have been sleeping for the past 8 weeks! Well that's not the only reason, I got busy with some other things and just needed a break from my computer (because I was on it so much due to those other things that were keeping me busy).

But...now that my first trimester is officially over, I plan on waking up and getting back to my daily routine: showering, blogging, keeping in contact with friends and family, you know, the usual stuff.

I have been up to a little something...check me out here (it's a link, just click!)...it's a little blog I started to track my pregnancy and other stuff baby-related!

Glad to be back!
