I feel as if I’ve failed the blogging world by not updating in over a week. I have a half written post just waiting to be published but it will have to continue to sit on its shelf collecting dust until I’m ready. Who knows when it’ll get to see the sun? Who knows when I’ll decide to be productive?
I have found that my life is full of so much to be thankful for. I am continuously filled with overflowing joy as I love my husband each day and see what lies ahead for us.
Halloween is coming up and I’m pretty stoked. Last year was the first year I’ve celebrated Halloween in my life. My sister and I painted our faces and attempted to pass out candy. Apparently parents don’t want their kids trick-or-treating in our neighborhood because we got two kids total. The two of us had fun anyway sitting on the porch and being silly. So this year we’re having a costume party – which I’ve never done. I am personally in love with my costume and can’t wait for Halloween.
Here are a few from Halloween 2009:
New couples have come into our lives recently and it’s wonderful. I don’t make new friends easily. I have been aware of this since a very young age so when I do it’s like I found the Golden Ticket!
Thanksgiving is a month away and I am anxious. It will be the first time I will have ever had Thanksgiving at home since I was born. My entire childhood Thanksgivings were spent at my Grandma’s in Enid or my Aunt and Uncle’s in Tulsa. Every year I wanted to stay home and have Thanksgiving with just our closest family and the people most important to us and never got to. Now that Ryan and I are married and have the joy of scheduling time for 4 different sets of parents every year for every holiday, we decided this year that we just weren't going to. We’re having Thanksgiving at our house with The Family and I am ecstatic. It will be the best pot luck Thanksgiving known to man and it will be the best Thanksgiving food I've ever had. I can promise you that.
I am thankful for my house. I don’t always act that way but I am. I love my stupid wonderful house with all of its perfections and its problems. I am a little frustrated that we haven’t done hardly anything we planned on doing when we bought it. It’s funny how you walk through a house and state everything you’re going to do to it right away. Everything from changing light switch plates to gutting the bathroom and what really gets done? In our case, we did actually replace our mailbox and we did actually take out their mulch but that’s about it. I have a really big itching for being super productive. I want to take an entire weekend and dedicate it to nothing but home renovations. I want to refinish our hardwoods and paint our living room woodwork. What stops us? Time. Laziness. Money. Priorities.
Someone come over and help me get motivated! Oh, and give me money so that my motivation can actually be put towards something! :)
haha! I think we must've had the same two trick or treaters you did but they sure hit the jackpot because at that point I think we realized we wouldn't have many so Ryan gave them a HUGE handful :)
ReplyDeleteI will TOTALLY come help do a home renovation project. I think it would be fun.
