a day to be thankful

Alex and I have so much to be thankful for. We have been blessed with wonderful friends and families that love and care for us. We have a beautiful home, crazy puppy dog and we have a thriving business. God has provided so much more for us than we could ever deserve. We are blessed beyond belief and very thankful for all that we have been given.
A special thank you to our service men and women who are unable to celebrate at home, thank you for defending our freedom. (Selfishly, I'm very glad that my brother gets to be home this year! We love you Jim and are especially thankful for your service!)

Happy Thanksgiving, we hope you have a great (and safe) holiday enjoying time with family and friends.

To tree or not to tree, that is the question...

...and the answer is yes! I'm sure that there are no original ideas anymore with the development of Pinterest and the blogosphere but, I try.  I made a trek to Michael's and gathered some supplies.

All you need are some little cardboard cones aka: Christmas trees, felt, a glue stick and scizzors. Begin cutting & glueing and eventually you will have some cute little Christmas trees for your Christmas decor!

Enjoy Crafting!

Eleven Twelve Thirteen

Next year is our last consecutive number year this century! I have no plans to make this one exciting but the news people said a lot of people are getting married and having babies. I will go to the grocery store and to work...that's about as much excitement as I can handle. 

We don't have any notable plans this week, but it's a welcomed relief from our crazy/hectic October. I'm looking forward to our Thanksgiving festivities at the end of the month, but for now I will enjoy our slower pace. Maybe I'll have pictures of our finished basement soon! It's almost complete. By almost I mean that we've almost finished the drywall and we've purchased flooring...slow and steady wins the race. :) 

HappyTuesday! 

Things that make me laugh

It's been awhile since I last shared some of the things that make me laugh. I've searched high and low for some good ones, Enjoy!

Yes, this video is 5 ish minutes, but it's 5 very worthwhile minutes!
I hope you laughed, Happy Friday!

It's beginning to look a lot like....

Christmas! Not really, it's been rainy and mildly cool but not Christmas-y. However, that doesn't stop this girl from getting excited! I've made our Christmas cards and they are somewhere in the interwebs on their way to a printer, soon to be in a mailbox near you. 

Snapfish is fantastic for sending coupons and giving away freebies. Today I had to choose between 40% off and free shipping (FS40CARDS ending on Nov. 13) or 20 free Christmas cards and paying shipping. Don't worry, I used my calculator and determined that the six bucks to ship was a better deal. Good luck getting into the holiday spirit, you'll embrace it soon enough!

Happy Thursday!

(Thanksgiving is only three weeks away!)

Hap-hap-happy Birthday!!!

Today my sister is a year older, but that never stops people from asking if we're twins. She is seven whopping years older than I am but she is the best friend I've ever had! She is my role model and my biggest influence. As any little sister does, I look up to her and want to be just like her when I grow up (for the most part...I don't want to drive a mini van). Happy birthday Becky B! Have your best birthday of the whole year! 

This magnet was part of her birthday gift from Alex and me. 

Goodbye October, Hello November

We completed the photo-a-day challange!! We didn't miss any days and took 31 pictures. I'm not too sure we'll do it again but, it did force me to take a lot of pictures! Happy November!
