Thankful Thursday already!

I can't believe it's Thursday again already. This past week has absolutely flown by. I guess the next week will, too. Today is 9 days from our wedding day. I can't believe we're in single digits finally.





Yesterday was a productive day. I got more ribbon for the cupcake tree, picked up the best men gifts that Mr. had ordered and ran other, non wedding-related errands. I also worked last night.





Today is another busy day. The focus is getting the programs done, seating chart done and finishing the cupcake tree. Looks like I'm not working at all next week so that's great.





After I came home from running my errands yesterday, on my porch was a vase of flowers from my BFF and MOH, Bean. For those who aren't familiar with abbreviations, BFF is 'best friend forever' and MOH is 'maid of honor'. Here's a picture of the beautiful gerber daisies.




Aren't they beautiful? Those are also 2 wedding gifts we've received--the sugar bowl and creamer of one design of our china. Thanks so much, Bean. It was so thoughtful. Having Bean in my life is definitely always on my list of things I'm grateful for. I don't know how I would've made it through all of this wedding stuff without her. She is truly my sister friend in every way.



On the real life front, male child has put a bid on a house. It is absolutely adorable. It looks like they've rehabbed the entire house and everything is new in it. I am so excited for him and hope they accept his offer. It would be so exciting if the second male child--henceforth known as boy child--were able to see his brother's new house while he was in. I've already started making plans for a party at the house!! This house would be such a good fit for him so send the prayers up that he gets it.







I've added a new blog that I am starting to read. Look for the link on the right. It's a heartbreaking story about a woman with CF who received a double lung transplant after she had a severely premature baby. Her husband writes the blog and gives updates on both of his ladies. It's amazing what people go through and the strength with which they go through it. Yet another reason to be thankful for the health in my life and those who are dearest to me. So often we take our health for granted when in actuality, if you don't have your good health, you have so many struggles. Having good health and love in your life is really all you need.







I'm off for the day. Because it's thankful Thursday, be sure to take time to count your blessings today. We should all do this every day--but very few of us do--so starting with at least 1 day is a good way to ease into it.
