Happy Thankful (Thursday) Thanksgiving

I have so much to be thankful for. A small list on this here blog can not even begin to cover my blessings. But we'll go ahead and try. =)

I am thankful for my husband, the love of my life, the person I know knows my heart and soul. (You can go ahead and excuse yourself to barf, I won't mind.) I seriously don't know what I would do without him.

I am thankful that I am getting to spend Thanksgiving with some of my favorite people.

I hope you all have an amazing holiday. I'll be back on Monday to share all about my (sure to be wonderful) holiday weekend.

Birthday Recap and Thankful Thursday

Tuesday I woke up actually feeling ok for the first time in 5 days. I started getting ready for work while Justin busied himself in the kitchen, not letting me out of the bedroom.

And here is what he prepared:

How lucky am I, right?! I got a little excited about my gift and ripped open the pretty packaging before I had a chance to take a picture of the whole set up. Also, ripped into one of those pancakes. Whoops. #sorrynotsorry

I had been wanting these boots for awhile and was soo stoked when I opened that pretty box and saw them!

I went to school and worked all day but it was still a great day. The people I work with are so nice and amazing, and the kids are hilarious and everyone wished me a happy birthday, and I got tons of compliments on pretty boots.

At lunch Justin surprised me with flowers too!

After school I headed up to my in-laws house and relaxed, hung out, had a glass of wine, and had a delicious delicious birthday dinner with my favorite dessert!!

This beautiful concoction is a brownie with hot fudge, nuts, and homemade whipped cream! 

It was a fabulous day!

Now on to Thankful Thursday!!

I am thankful for my husband. When I had strep throat this weekend he took such good care of me. I do not know what I would do without him. And would you scroll up and look at how he spoiled me on my birthday?!

I am so thankful for all of my family and friends who showered with me love, and texts, and gifts, and cards, and happy thoughts, and everything that was sent my way on Tuesday. I am beyond blessed.

I am thankful for my health. Funny how I said this last week and then I got strep throat. But I am thankful that I am recovering and that I feel almost back to myself.

I am thankful for my MIL. She pretty much stood on standby in her kitchen waiting for me to give her the go ahead that I was feeling ok enough for birthday dinner for 3 days in a row, and I appreciate her.

Link up with me and let us read all about what you're thankful for!

Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday people! And welcome to my first ever linkup!

I am thankful that Justin and I agree that Christmas decorations go up after Thanksgiving. Maybe it's because my birthday is in 1 week (!) but all these people putting up Christmas decorations now are making me be like... Stop that. We still have time! You're pushing in on Thanksgiving's territory!

I am thankful for ice cream. Ice cream makes everything a lot better.

I am thankful for the people I work with. They are so helpful and I just couldn't do my job without their help.

I am thankful that I got to celebrate my first Thanksgiving this last weekend.

I am thankful for yoga. It always makes me feel really great, physically and emotionally. And I love the strength I'm gaining from it as well.

I am thankful that my darling husband made me this delicious dinner for me, and had it waiting when I got home from yoga, to kick off birthday week!

I am thankful for birthday week. =)

I am thankful for my health. After being sick and exhausted for the last week, it feels so so nice to have energy again and not be sick!

I am thankful for Pinterest. It makes my job easier, my house prettier, and my husband's tummy happy. You can follow my Pinterest board here.

I am thankful for my kindle, and for the Amazon kindle gift card my mother got me for my birthday! Awesomesauce. Do any of you have any great book recommendations?

I am thankful for clothes that don't need to be hand washed. I am going to be honest with you.... if I buy a shirt that needs to be hand washed I never wash it  wash it about once every couple months.

I am thankful for all of you readers, and the few of you who might linkup with me!

I am thankful to my friends. New friends who go to yoga with me, old friends who plan trips with me, and blogger friends who encourage me, and try new things with me!

I am thankful for my family. My husband, my in-laws, my siblings, my parents, my puppy. I value all of these people in my life soo much. And am so thankful for each of them.

Speaking of my puppy, I am thankful for how happy he is to see me everyday. It never fails to put a smile on my face.

I am thankful for my job. I know I complain about it sometimes but I really love it, and feel so lucky to get to work with those kids everyday.

I am thankful for the full night's sleep I got last night. Eight hours, it has been a long time since we've seen each other. I missed you. And I'm thankful for you.

And I am thankful to Meredith for encouraging me to do this!
