Thankful for: 

A really great day with family. 

Good food! We had chili dogs, BBQ chicken legs, corn on the cob, chips, watermelon, apple crumble with ice cream, and cookie bars. 

Time with family. 

Oliver, Aidan, and Remy. They make me smile all day. 

Watching fireworks in the driveway. 

A day that made me feel so thankful for family and the time we get to spend together. 

Shenandoah National Park!

Day 3,133

Thankful for: 

A good workout this morning. 

Time with Addy. 

A productive day at work. I feel like I accomplished a lot. 

Help from my friend, Melissa. 

Help from Matt. He hung some pictures for me. 

Panera for lunch. I feel silly saying this, but Panera is my favorite restaurant. Soup, sandwiches, salad, and bread. Is there anything better? 

My office looks pretty. 

A fun 4th of July party planned with family. 

Higbee being happy to see me. 

The way Adelyn and Tobin smile. 

Tobin always helps me carry groceries in from the car. 

Going grocery shopping and being able to buy nice food. 

Our cozy home. It's cool in the summer and warm in the winter. 

Time to rest. 

I went to Hobby Lobby to buy some things for my office today. I got two new cute pillows and some nice things to hang on the wall. When I walked in, all the fall things were on display, and it literally made my heart so so so happy. To smell and see and touch fall things was a little piece of heaven today. I love winter best, but fall is a very close second. 

A country road + a beautiful sunset= Country sunset. I love me a country sunset. Especially one with a little broken fence in front of it. 

Opportunity.

A hard morning turned into an opportunity to show love and care to my daughter. 

Hugs, kisses, and tears. 

A good lunch. 

A good day. I spent half at work and half working from home. 

God kept us safe in all the storms. 

An easy dinner. 

Matt brought home treats. 

Laying in bed and talking with Matt. 

Sweet Higbee had a hard day, so he let me cuddle with him. He's not normally a cuddler. 

Hugs from Tobin. 

A good workout.
