Captions

I bet my husband will be SHOCKED when he reads my blog post today.  Not shocked that I have written anything enlightening or shocking but super surprised that I actually wrote today.  Trying to get back on top of my goals, daily tasks and making sure that I do the things that are important to me.  Writing out five things that make me grateful each day help me keep a quick diary and give me 30 minutes of gratitude.  30 minutes that when I am grateful I can't be angry, stressed, scared or filled with anything but gratitude. 

So though I just went all through that -- I am going to add captions this time around INSTEAD of doing a quick 5. I have so many pictures to update.  Before I get started I wanted to say a quick shout out to Mike.  Cheers to another year under our belt.  

Yearly tradition.  The boys are getting so freaking big they might start to look creepy soon.

FONDUE.  oh wow.  We had the absolute best anniversary date.  It was A.MAZ.ING.

 

Cheese was my favorite meal.
We started at 330 and ate, played games, watched movies and just hung out.  It was fabulous.

 

Picking up Panera after  work.  Jack was able to pick up a treat and decided on a brownie.  This is a selfie that we were trying to take but he decided he wanted it to be of him and the brownie instead.

 

I love Cameron's face in this picture!

 

So this happened a few weeks ago.  So grateful the night played out the way that it did.

AAA came within MINUTES of calling.  I didn't have my wallet and my coworkers paid for my parking and dinner.

The next morning Bella Tire fixed my flat for FREE.  FREE.  And that morning I had a great workout before getting my tired fixed.

Grateful that I was able to borrow this outfit for a first holiday party of the season.  Clearly I need to invest in an ugly sweater since it is the new "thing."

Addressing Christmas cards at the wrestling meet.  Owen was helping me stamp and seal.  So grateful that these were completed quickly AND for my little helper.  He is the best.

Finally getting some wins under their belt.

Cameron won all of his matches that day.

Jack's face in the car wash.  How can you not be grateful for this?  And oh the feeling that you get when your car goes from NASTY to CLEAN.

Gingerbread houses.  I probably gained 3 lbs eating all the frosting. 

Love doing these with the boys.  Soon Jack will not need as much help and maybe the adults can join.

The gifts have started.  I am so grateful for the team that I am on and the people that I work with.  Every year around this time I am constantly reminded of the generosity of others.

Jimmy and Kristin.  This has been our leadership team the past 18 months. I have been working with Jimmy to find him something that would be a better fit and all of those coaching hours, worry and stress are OVER.  I have learned so much these past 18 months and now I am excited to see how the next year will unfold.
