Kelly said...

That was beautiful! So much to be thankful for!

Wow, that was two posts in one week.....you're back baby!

Dude. I've totally been listening to that song ALL WEEK LONG. My friend is going through a rough patch and that song has been MY song.

I owe you an email. It's coming.

And ditto to the feeling on a swing. I did that over the summer and was like "Why the heck do we stop doing this?"

Hope your Thanksgiving was happy:).

First of all I just wanted to thank you for offering to feed me pureed drumsticks!! haha Woke up this morning and had to eat my cereal very slowly. Again. Does yours come and go or what do you do about it? Secondly, your thankful list is amazing. Love all the simple things that people tend to forget. There were so many on there that I love too! I think everyone should be made to make a list like that don't you?

ps. I love turkey bacon too! Instead of a Bloody Mary mine's a cold Coors Light though. hehe

Feeling the babies in your tummy? Me too :)

I am thankful for really good blogs to read (that means you!).

Dana said...

Thanks for the reminders... hoping you get to experience at least 10 of them this new week :)

Casii said...

I'm thankful to know someone who recognizes they have so much to be thankful for!

TJ said...

The babies in the tummy... I miss that feeling.

What a great list! I've had quite the time with some of my posts. Blogger doesn't like my Mozilla browser at home, or Mozilla doesn't like Blogger. Haven't figured out which ;)

Amy said...

Aren't you the cutest?? Loved reading you list and hope you had a wonderful holiday!
