Today I am especially thankful for....

• Addi Kate! She is making me smile today.
• Kylie Danielle! Her daddy is taking her out today, and he can't wait.
• James William Beam! Love this boy, and the pictures from the wedding make me want to squeeze his face. LOL!
• My home. I love this little place, it's funny, who knew I would love it so much? I am so thankful Father showed us this house and we could have such a great place to live and great neighbors, too.
• My van. I had wanted for a car for so long. This is the best car ever, and I love it!
• My family. Who could ask for more? Each person in our family is unique and for every unique thing about them I love them that much more. Being Mom is a good place to be.
• My job. It fills our needs so much more than I could've imagined! I love it. I love doing the job, the people and the fact that it completely fits my needs. Father designed this position just for me. I can't wait to see how much more we are blessed by it.

If you can't tell, life is good. We are blessed. And today, I'm going to get busy on the to do list I've been putting off. It's time to take care of my blessings.

I have a cantaloupe! I mean, it's growing on my plant outside. I'm SO excited! One thing I'm doing today is to go out and take care of my little garden plants. Ohhh... I love working out there! I'm looking for a gazebo to buy for our patio. We need a cover so bad, it gets really hot out there. So I'm hoping to find one on craigslist. It would be so awesome. I want to do that, and then maybe sell our little tall table and stools out there and get a loveseat or maybe a glider for us to sit on and enjoy the backyard out there. The weather is so beautiful today. I have the windows open and I'm enjoying the breeze in the quiet this morning.

Hubby is off to work, and Addi is down for her morning nap. I'm going to get going and try to mark off some things to do today. I am hoping to get the boxes put away that are in the landing upstairs. Hubby would be so happy to go up and have all that gone when he gets home! Hmmm... that might be my project today! I'll let you know how that works out.

Blessings to all of you!
