More Praises!

This week of praises has been so much fun for me. It amazes me to see all blessings around me each and every day. I have been blessed in so many ways and acknowledging them here on the ol' blog keeps me in a positive frame of mind and lets face it, would couldn't use a little more positivity in their life.

Today's Praises:

One sweet little girl who comes into bed in the morning to snuggle with her momma...and rubs her momma back.

Fed Ex delivery truck! My dear friend, Polly broke the other day and although I had ordered a backup Polly...they didn't know when the backup would ship. I had a little freak-out session where I thought for sure Andy would get his first chance to stick me, and I so don't want him to have that pleasure. Low and behold, the Fed Ex delivery truck to my rescue. I was so happy, that I think if it would have been Tim, my UPS guy, I would have hugged him.

Sweet people who come up and say "hi" at the kids last soccer game. Then they proceed to tell me that they read the blog! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was. Thanks Wendy, you totally made my day! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE knowing people actually read this thing!

Another night out with girls. A different group of girls! Even a few new girls! I had so much fun with you all and I can't wait till we do it again!

My neighborhood! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my neighborhood. When Andy and I moved back here from P-town, we knew we wanted to be here, raise our family here, send our kids to school here, but we were also in a little bit of a hurry. I was very eager to get here so that I would be able to help out his parents more when his mom was sick. Needless to say, this house is not my dream house, but if I had all the money in the world, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I would tear down this house and build a new one, right here in the same spot. (Honey, this is a hint, maybe we should start playing the Lotto!)
God works like that, He has put all these people in my neighborhood here for a reason. He wants me to remember that a house is just a house. That the people you share your time with is what really matters.

For all these things, I praise Him!
