Thirty Days of Thankfuls


 
I am most thankful for:
 
*God- for his forgivness and his unconditional love for me no matter how sinful I am.
*Kyle- for being my rock and my best friend! I am so proud of his hard work he has put into our marriage and into his jobs. I am so thankful that he (and I) chose to give love a second chance, for rebuilding what was taken from him in the past, for being an amazing daddy, for going to paramedic school and doing something he loves to do (It's also very handy to have a medic in the household!) I'm also so proud that he has just been promoted to Lieutenant at the fire dept!

 
*Luke- he has been the answer to my prayer. I'm so thankful that I waited until I was ready and was married to the person I was going to spend forever with to start my beautiful family. Kyle and I prayed for a baby and God answerd our prayers with Luke. That little boy keeps our life so fun- there is never a dull moment! He is our little spitfire and we are beyond blessed!
*Ashlyn- the best most beautiful bonus daughter I could have asked for!
*My roommates- aka my parents : ) For their love and support and especially for the roof over our heads right now! I'm thankful for them being the best role models to me!
*My in-laws- They have taken me in as their "daughter" and have always been there for us!
*My grandparents- My Nana (that I'm named after) and my Papa. I'm so happy they have gotten to watch their great grandchild grow these last 18 months!  Also thankful for my grandparents in heaven (Mamaw and Papaw) that I know are watching down on us.
*My job- I'm so lucky to work for such an awesome company for 7 years now!
*My dogs-Lucy of 9 years and Jackie of 8 years  
*The tough times- financial struggles have brought me a lot closer to God (to pray without ceasing and to trust Him) and taught me that I can  make it with a lot less than what I have and to show me what's really important in life.
*Luke's daycare- A wonderful place for him to learn and grow....his favorite place to be!!!
*Luke's teachers- They love my little boy as if he was their own! When he walks right into his classroom everyday, waves bye-bye and blows me a kiss,  runs up to his teacher and gives her a hug I know that he's in the right place! Thank you, God,  for those wonderful girls in my boy's life!
*Pinelake- it may not be the church that we're members of... but it has become our church home! Where the sermons are so good that I never want them to end!!!!
*Fried food (well really any food)  -hey not everything in life is serious...no, actually food is very serious for me! I can get mean when it comes to food... just ask Kyle ; ) I love to eat!!!
*Double Stuf Oreos with milk (Have to have this every night before bed!)
*Crock Pots- I think we would probably starve without ours :)
*Music - such a stress reliever! 
*Boots & skinny jeans
*Scrub pants - for those lazy days  : )
*Tailgaiting in the Grove with my hubby and friends and watching Ole Miss beat State!!!!!!! : )
*A Blondie from Cups!
*Mascato
*Brandon High School making it to state championship-- GO DAWGS!!!
*The 'I love you's'  from the hubby.
*Getting to celebrate Christmas at my parents home this year.... Brings back memories : )
*Kyle being off on New Year's Eve to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary!!!!
*Luke having Trey's name for his middle name.
*Lunch dates with Kyle
*My health
*& the sweet kisses from Kyle every night before bed!  
 
Some are serious and some are just plain guilty pleasures in life, but
this list could go on and on....
 
I'm blessed beyond measure.

Happy 18 Months!

It's hard to believe our sweet lil' boy is already 18 months! Where has the time gone?!
Luke's vocabulary has grown so much! It's amazing listening to him talk and repeat things and get so excited about his new accomplishments!
 He loves:
playing Peek-A-Boo, ball, chasing us down the hall and then us chasing him, bananas, books, animals, being outside (he would live outside if we'd let him!), climbing, sweet tea, giving kisses, giving high-fives, Mcdonalds, going to the park and 4 wheelers!




helping Mama wash dishes

playing peek-a-boo in the pile of clothes!

obsessed with 4 wheelers

climbing, climbing, climbing!!!

Lunch date with Mama to McDonald's for a cheeseburger and fries!

Happy 18 months, Luke! Thank you for bringing so much fun and sunshine to our lives! We love your crazy, fun, wild little self so much!!!
