[5] Faith and [6] Freedom

I am thankful for my new-found faith in my God and for His faith in me. I know that my faith is something that I will always have and am so very grateful for that. I am so thankful that I have recently opened my heart up to Him. With finding my faith again, I hope to be a more positive and happy person and also a more caring and thoughtful wife.

I am also so very thankful for my freedom, especially on a day such as election day. We are soo lucky to be able to have the privilege to be able to vote. The US is such a great country and I am so thankful for my freedom to be able to do the things I like and believe the things I want.

Gratitude Quote

Maybe we're not supposed to be happy.

Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being 

grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. 

Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes

 to simply be human. Maybe, we're thankful for the familiar 

things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things 

we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we 

have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to 

celebrate. Dr. Meredith Grey

Note: I saw this quote and knew I had to add it in my blog somewhere for 30 days of thankfulness. I love Grey's Anatomy as well, so I really love this quote.

[4] Football

Sundays in our home are football days/nights, more specifically Cowboys football.  Cowboys play in about 30 minutes, so we will see how well they play tonight.

Hopefully they can beat the Atlanta Falcons that are undefeated right now. We are hoping for a win, but will still be fans if they lose.

Go Cowboys!!

(3) Home(s)

Today, Dustin and I traveled back to Watertown for some hunting. Dustin recently won a gun so we went back to get that and then did some hunting later in the day. We had a great time, despite seeing any birds. It was my first time getting a hunting license(!), so it was pretty awesome!

I am thankful that we are able to travel back and forth between our home and our parents' homes. With the travelling, I am also thankful that we are able to have a safe place to go when we are needing some time away from the chilly wind and cold. 

Also want to add that I am thankful for guns. Honestly, its nice to have something to keep us safe here in our apartment and out there in the crazy world.

I didn't get any pictures of us with our hunting gear or walking, but it was nice to spend time with my hubby doing something he really likes. <3

[2] Family and Friends

I am so very thankful for my family: close and extended--sisters, brothers, parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins.  Dustin and myself are soo lucky to have such a great support system around us. We all have fun together and really do love spending time with each other. 

There is something so special about your family. I am thankful that we have so many people surrounding us with love and support and happiness.

I am also thankful for our friends. We may not always see each other or get to hang out as much as we want, but I know what they will be there if I ever needed them. <3

I am also thankful that myself and Dustin and our close and extended families and friends are all healthy and happy.

[1] My Husband

I am thankful for my husband. Dustin makes me laugh when I want to cry, will be silly and crazy with me, and put up with me. I am so thankful that I get to call him my husband and my best friend.

He is the best part of me and I thank God every day that I get to be his wife. We have our moments, but at the end of the day we love each other, always.

P.S. AND he cooks :)

30 Days of Posting and Thankfulness

I started this blog to chronicle our life and have a place to share my thoughts and different ideas. I havent been doing a very good job since I started posting. I hope to change that this month. They (whoever they is) say that once you start blogging/writing every day, it gets easier and you get better at blogging/writing every day. I so hope this is true. 

For the month of November, I have decided to post every day. It wont be anything exciting or meaningful, but I hope to post something every day.

Also, wanted to add that I will be doing the 30 days of Thankfulness. I get so caught up in everything that I dont have, that I am not thankful for the things that I do have. So I want to write all these down too remind myself every single day.

Soo, here's to posting every day in November and posting what I am thankful for. CHEERS!!
