So Thankful!

I love reading all the"thankfuls" everyone has been posting on Facebook this month.  I love that we can take the time and remember those things in our lives, big and small, that are important to us.  It's so easy to get wrapped up in our daily lives that we forget those things.  Take them for grated.  But we all have so much to be thankful for.  So many blessings!

 I'm doing a similar type of thing this year for the month of November.  I have set a goal to send a hand-written note every day to someone special in my life. I like to think of it as being thankful for the "people" and not just the "things". 

So, I've sent a note every day so far to someone in my life that has supported, motivated, encouraged or inspired me or my family.   I think it's going pretty well, I haven't missed a day yet!

But there is one problem, the number of days is quickly running out and the number of people seem to be growing. Although, honestly, I think it's a great problem to have. 

God has blessed me with some pretty awesome people in my life, and if you are reading this, YOU are one of them.  

And I am thankful for YOU!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Fun on the Farm!

Last weekend we took a little road trip to the family farm in WI.  We always have such a great time.  It's so relaxing and we can just hang out, catch up and of course, eat tons of food. 

Here are a few highlights from our trip!

 











Halloween 2012

just a tad bit late.

Our friends, who just moved, decided to come back to T***** Street for an evening of trick-or-treating.  It was great to hang out and gather goodies like the good ol' days.

Here are a few of the highlights from our Halloween with friends!
