Call me cliche, but I'm THANKFUL!

So maybe it is cliche, but it's good to say the things you are thankful for!! So just to name a few.........

I am thankful for my salvation, and that Jesus would even think about loving ME?! goodness...... I am thankful that my brother is completely healed from cancer -three times, for family, for time off work to spend with them, for our health, for babies, my high school kiddos, smiles, happy people, hot chocolate, conversation with good friends, encouraging words, tough situations that God sees us through, despite all frustrations.....passing my Spanish Test!

I am thankful for the chance to get excited for people in their FUN situations, Christmas time, the sacrifice of God's only son, no debt from college, seeing life play out, and getting to know new people. I am thankful for mountains, hot chocolate, and the best husband in the world.

I am thankful for a warm place to sleep each night, and the ability to pay our bills every month, neices and nephews, GRANDPARENTS, and sweets! I can't even begin to mention everything I am thankful for, but it is nice to have a few days to take time out, relax, and JUST BE THANKFUL!!

Hope you guys have a
VERY
HAPPY
THANKSGIVING!!

Guess what I did today???

DECKED THE HALLS!! YEAH!!!

I know....you are probably one of those people who say you shouldn't decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, BUT we have to work on Monday and Tuesday, and then it will be the day before Thanksgiving......so lighten up.....and get out the tree, because it is SOOOOO much fun!

Here are a few pics, not the greatest, but just so you can witness my hard work right?!?!



This is what aaron did while I put up the Christmas stuff! haha

I am SOOOOOO excited!
Fun snowflakes!
Not the best picture, but our new tree looks soooooooo pretty! I LOVE sitting in the living room with all the lights off, except the tree!!

Thank you Lord for giving us a reason to celebrate!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING.......and a bit closer to Christmas!!

LOVE!

I would never........

Can I just say a few things that I did NOT do.......

I did not eat two desserts after dinner tonight....NOPE NEVER

I did not skip lifting weights so I could cuddle on the couch with my husband and great dane, and of course I did not throw a small fit the other day because I wanted the gold fish and Aaron would not let me have them.....that would just be childish.

I did not fall asleep last night without brushing my teeth....GROSS. haha

I am NOT totally excited for the end of the week so I can cheer my RED RAIDERS on to VICTORY!!!

Just like I have not listened to Christmas music since the second week of November OR beg my husband to let me put up the Christmas decorations......

the closest I got was him building a fire in our outdoor firepit in the backyard.....it was still very Colorado..ish, Christmas..ish and WONDERFUL!!

Of course I would never do any of this.....nope NOT ME!
