Thankful...

I thought it would be fun to do a list of some random/fun things I'm thankful for... even though it's after Thanksgiving, technically it's still Thanksgiving week. I had every intention of posting this on Thanksgiving day, but time just got away from me between: baking, cooking, visiting with family, and watching football (more like yelling at the TV).

I don't want you to be mistaken. I'm crazy thankful for Jesus, His Word, my man, family (including the dogs), my church, my blog readers/blog friends, and people I get to do life with, but this time around I thought we could have some randomness thrown into the mix.

Thankful "Fun" List!
1. Oh my gracious - Hobby Lobby! At this point you know I love crafts, making goodness, and decorating anything. Therefore, Hobby Lobby is my place.














2. My Burts Bees tinted Lip Shimmer and my Sephora Lip Gloss. Blessed Assurance, yes!
























3. My Southern Living magazine subscription. My sweet Grandaddy gives all the ladies in my family a subscription every year - and I tell you each month I can't wait to read and go through mine. I'm not a big magazine reader besides Southern Living and Travel and Leisure, but oh how I love the decorating tips, travel advice, and recipes contained in the monthly 100+ page magazine.


















I love, love, love my scentsy. If you have not experienced the joy of owning one of these then stop reading and go now. I do need to clarify something. Just because I love Scentsy does not in any way take away my love for an actual candle. There is just something about the warmth and richness only a candle can bring. BUT few of my favs about scentsy: the fact I just can turn on my scentsy and not worry about anything if I step out to the store, the amazing scents they have you can switch out, and the best one - you don't have that horrible wick smell to take away all the goodness in the air after you turn it off.

















I know I talked about her not long ago, so I won't be lengthy about her again. But I do love my planner... and all things by erin condren!








6. Seasonal decorations. I love breaking out seasonal decor for each holiday. If you have been around the blog for a while, you already know this but for those new friends - I just have a blast with it.
(Our Christmas Tree - that is already up)


















7. Accessories in general. I couldn't have a more obvious love language than accessories. It's completely lame and maybe I should consider starting a club. Kidding. Kinda. But from hats, scarves, jackets, to earrings, purses, and you name it, I love to spruce up any outfit with accessories. I'm so thankful for them!















8. Books! I'm just thankful for books in general. Apparently I'm old school by liking to actually HOLD a book. I love the idea and concept of having all my books on a iPad or what-not, but to me there is just something about holding the actual book. Save the bookstores! Laughing. But with that I just love the library. When I really started getting into God's Word and doing a lot of research I just fell in love reading commentaries and such (and have been hooked ever since).











9. HAIR PRODUCT. Let me tell ya... if this hair of mine didn't have product in it, we would definitley be in serious trouble. In Texas we have major humidity which creates a very challenging time for hair, but since I have long hair, it just becomes bigger than most. Praise Jesus for product: Big Sexy Hair: Root Pump Plus, Hair Spray, Moroccain Oil, and Bumble and Bumble's Defrizz



























The most addicting website for anything and everything. Love the ideas it brings together for: cooking, parties, decorating seasonally or everyday. Just a great site. Completely addicted!
What is Pinterest? Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes.

Music Monday!!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Kick your week off listening to Francesca with me.

I love this song. Here is the chorus...

I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
And on my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me

Song: Free To Be Me

Lately...

Hope you are doing great. Things have been good and a little hectic over here...

A ton of my attention right now is going towards gearing up for PiNK's winter Bible study. Whooo!!! Trust me...when I can tell more, I will. It's coming soon.

I joined a boot camp last week. Oh my! And when I tell you it's insane, I'm not lying. I literally was sore all last week. Everyday. It is a good sore though. I'm so thankful for friends doing it with me. They are amazing and so encouraging. Thankful for them. My friend started this boot camp 2 years ago and I'm so thankful she made that decision.

Another "lately" over here is we joined a community group at our church, BCF. It's so great. I love that they meet every week. That way you can actually connect and get to know one another. It's hard to do that when it's just every other week or once a month. I'm so excited to get to know these people more, study God's Word together, serve our community/world as a group, and just to do life with them.

The women's Bible study I'm teaching right now is just a pure blast. I don't think I could love these women any more. They are a true joy in my life. Studying the scriptures together each week just creates a sweet bond like nothing else. We just wrapped up the Duty or Delight study and are now getting into the Living Free study by Beth Moore. It's about learning to pray God's Word. Oh how this is going to rock!!

One of my (amazingly organized) friends told me about erincondren.com a couple of weeks ago. If you know me, you know -
1. I love EVERYTHING personalized. I just do.
2. I love organization. I like everything to have a place...not saying it does - but I like everything to. :)
Therefore, my friend showed me erin condren's planners. They are crazy cute and personalized. I knew immediately I needed to get one. :) So after picking my design, entering my coupon code (my sweet friend gave me), and personalizing it...it was in the process of being shipped to me.
I won't lie - I was checking it like crazy to see the process of it getting to me. Seeing the words "shipped" on the site and the delivery date being Saturday - I was EXCITED!!

Last Saturday morning the door bell rang bright and early, and I was immediately awake because I knew what was at the door.















Don't you just love the box?!?















Wrapped in pink tissue. They don't even know that's my love language! :)















TaDa! Love it!



















Now it's being used and filled with fun dates, parties, and goodness.


Last week Julia (one of PiNK's summer interns - you can read about her here) was in town and wanted to catch up...I was like, of course!!! She called me a week or so out and let me know she was coming and to put her on my schedule...LOVE LOVE LOVE those calls from the girls.

We spent many hours over coffee laughing, crying, and talking about everything. Perfect way to spend Saturday afternoon.
