I have maybe done a Thankful Thursday once or twice . . . I can't even remember . . . but I have much to be thankful for . . . my cup runneth over and I just have to say how thankful I am for . . .
1- My hard working, kind, loving and ever serving hubby! Toph makes my day!!! Now that he actually utilizes text messaging I receive constant reminders of how loved I am and how amazing he is! His blue eyes make me weak in the knees and he makes me want to be a better person everyday!!!
2- Nieces and nephews!!! Since our little clan has yet to expand we are SOOOO blessed to have 9 nieces and 8 nephews who simply rock the house! We love hearing about/being part of their lives and love these crazy kids to death!!!
3- A great new haircut . . . nothing makes me feel more ready to walk out my door and greet the world than a great hair day/haircut! (Okay seriously! true!)
4- My primary kids . . . talk about crash course in dealing with multiple personalities at once! The little ones in my class are such a delight and teach ME so much!
5- My federdecker! I pulled this out the other night and it is such a delight . . . especially when my Toph is gone . . . (I just keep reminding myself that this too will pass!)
6- Books!!! I have to especially thank my mom and sisters for having a never ending supply of incredible reads and for Velvee being my "cheesy" book buddy!
7- Kitchen time! Cooking is very relaxing for me and now I am back into cake decorating and am obsessed a bit! I am game to make any cake especially before school starts again!
8- I have to throw in that I am totally looking forward to our Christensen family reunion at Fishlake this summer and am determined to convince my hubby to camp out! . . . I am also determined to overcome my fear of Mountain Lions for 3 days and sleep outside!!! (Okay yes, it started back when I first saw "Where the Red fern Grows" and from seeing that stuffed bobcat in the high school when I was a kid!) Anywho FR are always so much fun and I am glad that we keep the tradition alive!
Today we celebrated Toph's Geburtstag with a game of golf (during which I was toasted to a lovely dark red color . . . yes . . . I know that I have been pasty white since my mish, thank you so much for often pointing that out to me everyone!) and scored . . . well you don't need to know my score, just know that I had some good swings/shots and learned that the key to me hitting the ball is to "keep my head down!"
We went out to lunch afterward, took a nap (mmmmm!) and then went to the movie "Up." Mensch it was darling! I think I started crying 2 minutes into it! The cute part was during the previews the little kids in the theater were going crazy over the 3-D effects! It was so much fun! We of course rounded out the day with birthday cake and some scrumdiddlyumptious dinner! I made Toph a "Giant Chocolate Cookie Cake!" It was delish and a day kiddles! Happy Birthday again handsome hubby!
