Giving Thanks

So I didn't participate in the 30 days of thanks however, I have enjoyed reading what everyone else is thankful for on either their blogs or on facebook. It's pretty interesting and quite comical to read the things they come up with when you have to think of 30. I have thought maybe I should give it a whirl so here goes I'll do my best.

I'm thankful for:

1. My house that we have now owned two years and will celebrate our third Christmas in this year
2. My husband/best friend/soul mate- I'm not kidding when I say I just truly love staring at him, just ask him, he find it really weird LOL
3. Dalton Lee--he will turn 6 in less than two weeks
4. Money/Jobs its not much but it keeps the lights on and food on our table
5. Running/working vehicles
6. Sibling relationships; both with my sister and my brother
7. Starbucks, I know it's a habit I could/should live without but I just don't wanna :)
8. My parents, the relationship I have with each parent is different but strong!
9. Medi-Weight loss -for my 50lbs loss and my better overall health
10. Best Friends
11. Teamwork-I hardly do anything alone anymore.
12. Patience-as a mom to two boys, a dog, a wife to my husband, being a dedicated friend, sibling, aunt, daughter, and neighbor I ASK FOR PATIENCE DAILY.

That's it. I suppose 12 is good. It's truly been an amazing year once again. I am totally blessed.
Looking forward to a new adventure of some sort next year. :)

You're Seeing This

I'm not saying I am inspired by any means to really start posting on this EVERYDAY again but Wowzers its almost been a year (Jan) since my last post. Oops! Let me tell you why I actually quit this blog...I started another journey which consumed every ounce of brain power that I had CLICK HERE to view that life changing event if you wish.
It was a point in my life when I did the most selfish act, it was all about me and what I wanted no matter the cost or sacrifices. However it opened my eyes to the kind of team player that I married because he jumped right on board with me shedding 60lbs, alongside my 50lbs. We are both at lighter now that when we met each other. Just crazy to me.

I'm so behind on actual camera photos due to my obsession with Instagram and Facebook it makes the photo sharing so easy. So I promise to charge my camera battery and use it TODAY! Today is yet another Mommy and Dalton day then it turns into a Sissy and Sissy day! Our good family friend is hosting a Holiday event open to the public with vendors that come into her home. Its a great GIRLS night and I cant wait!! Tomorrow night is a hayride and bonfire at Shawnee Mission Park with Val from work!

Some Randoms off the top of my head facts over the past year:
Hubby and I celebrated 6 years of marriage--still going strong
Dalton started Kindergarten at Niemen at Ray Marsh at Benninghoven ACTUALLY at Good Shepherd Catholic School--that was chaos at its best!
Moose turned 2 and Alvin comes home over Christmas-Santa is bringing Alvin which would be Moose's nephew.
We are celebrating 2 years in our little but cozy house, the mortgage is lower than any 1 bedroom apartment out there just sayin! Its magic I tell ya :)
I celebrated 5 years at my job and its just getting better and better
My dad relocated from a 7hr trip to work to a 2hr trip. Still home every weekend but much closer :)
My brother had a baby boy named Preston and my oh my is he precious
We celebrated our 3rd trick or treat at the Dearing's, and what a treat it is!
We established a savings account just to drain it on our drive to Texas in another week! Yikes!!!
Austin (stepson)  turned 12!
I shed 50lbs and 49inches--still shocking to me. Sometimes I even put on a pair of pants thinking they still fit..not so much!
Went from a size 20/22 to a 14
We did a total bathroom make over-Holy Shit Balls What An Event! :)
 I also met some amazing ladies I now call friends- Terra and Jeleanna! Thanks to Damon and Candie

Thats it for now. So on that rambling note..Hi Y'all, Bye Y'all
