Thankful.....

Yesterday, we spent the Thanksgiving without our family and sometimes
that is the hardest part about living so far away but nevertheless, I
am Thankful because I know I am loved... by the most wonderful man.





Thankful for the love of this little man, who brings so much joy to our lives.



Thankful that my girlfriend was in town and she taught me to just relax and be me.




okay.. maybe that was not the best shot of us....





Thankful that my other boys had family around them and they are happy and healthy.

Today I woke up feeling kinda low.. why???? I asked. Maybe it's the weather.

Regardless, I have no reason to feel sad... Cause I have a beautiful family,
a loving husband who would do anything for me. Who loves me unconditionally.
I have three beautiful boys. Two wonderful sisters to share all my secrets
with. Two wonderful parents who will soon be celebrating 50 years together.

So... I wiped that frown away and just said " Thank you Lord for my life"

Room in progess

The day we walked into our new home, there was
one room that I just fell in love with. Living
in a house full of boys, I always dreamed of a
girly room and this room had girl written all
over it....


But change was due. After spending months adoring
the homes and rooms of my fellow bloggers, I became
inspired.

So my little girl room has become all grown up..


I sanded, painted and distressed an old buffet





Now of course I am not done yet.. hubby still needs to
put in my wood floor and I need to find some really
cute knobs from my dresser..

A drive to work....

I enjoy my ride to work so much these days...

So, armed with my camera last week, I decided to
take a few extra minutes in my drive to catch the
beauty....

As the saying goes

"Sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses" or
in my case the beauty...











Hope you enjoyed the view as much as I did...

Until next time...
