These are a Few of my Favorite Things...

I know I should be keeping a gratitude journal and writing down daily what I am thankful for, but I procrastinate. Don't get me started on procrastination (well, I'll just tell you about it later). In the meantime, I thought that I would just tell you a few things that I am thankful for at the moment.

1. My amazing Tyler

Okay, so he is always amazing, but sometimes he even outdoes himself. I love clothes and I love to shop, but even more I love it when Tyler picks something out for me, because we wives would like to dress nicely for our husbands, but usually we have no clue what they like, so we do the best we can regardless. Well, sometimes Tyler decides that he likes something and he will go out and buy it for me. Last night, he came home with three shopping bags with fun new shirts and a shrug/cropped hoodie. It made my day. I love you honey. You make me feel beautiful!

Another thing I am thankful for is my cute June who actually took this picture for me. She's getting the hang of it.

2. Stubborn Enjoyment

Ivory is such a funny duck. When I ask her for kisses now, she turns her head away and tries with all her might to escape. I never let her of course, and I cover her with kisses, especially on her cheeks and chin. Then when I cease the onslaught, she says, "more". I kiss her all over again and then stop and she says, "more." She usually only uses the word 'more' when it comes to food (something she is very serious about) but I love that although she pretends to disregard my kisses, she secretly wants more. I hope that is always the case.

This is Ivory saying "more" after getting a kiss attack.

3. Simple Pleasures

This probably goes back to the shopping thing (I really like getting stuff--please tell me I am not the only one out there!). I bought some sun catchers and put them in my window. They are just little pieces of fall (a scarecrow, a sunflower, corn, a turkey, a crow, and a pumpkin). And I just love them. When I see them I smile and they brighten my day, especially when the sun is shining :) It is funny how a little thing can bring gladness to your heart.

If the pictures are fuzzy, it is because I haven't quite figured out closeups on my camera.

Anyway, that is just a few of the things I would put in my gratitude journal today! I challenge everyone out there to put three things on their blog that they are thankful for. I would love to see them. I know it isn't Thanksgiving yet, but it is never too soon to think about the great things in our lives.
