A house is just a house but a home is where...your heart is! I feel very blessed to have a beautiful home. However, what makes it so special to me are the people and pets that live inside it!

Day 14 of 30- Relaxation
I am thankful for:
Relaxation!
In today's society, we are encourage to go, go, go...and do, do, do...and work, work, work! I am thankful that God encourages us to relax...to take a day of rest!
All of my close friends know that I take the above "signature shot" when I am truly and completely relaxed. This one happens to be my very favorite one of all because it was taken in one of my very favorite places in the world...The Mariposa hotel in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica.

Day 13 of 30- Moonlight
I am thankful for:
the Fall Moon!
I love how huge the moon looks in the Fall. Last night the sky was cloudy. I loved to watch the changing look of the moon as the clouds passed in front of it, especially since the moon was so bright that it lit up the earth below it.

Day 12 of 30- Sunshine
Today I am thankful for:
Sunshine!
What a beautiful day today! It was a bit cold but the sunshine always makes it appear to be warmer than it is. My kids also enjoy being outside when it's sunny!

I am thankful for:
All of our soldiers, past and present, that have fought to protect our nation's freedom...and for the families of these soldiers that have made huge sacrifices as well.

Day 10 of 30: Running Friends
Today I am thankful for:
Running Friends
This is a picture from our Saturday morning run. It was cold...and slightly dark...and foggy. However, a few of my running friends met at the Greenway for a brisk morning run. Only those that are insane enough to pick up this sport can truly understand! As crazy as it sounds...it felt so refreshing!

Day 9 of 30- Friends
Today I am thankful for:
Truly, deeply, real friends!
Proverbs 27:9
"The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense."
You know the ones...the ones that will tell you if you have spinach between your teeth...that will notice if you got a new haircut or lost a couple of pounds...will make you laugh until you are crying over something only the two of you can understand..know when you are sad but are pretending to be fine...will call you out when you are wrong...will stand strong beside you when you can't stand strong alone. Yeah, THOSE friends!
I believe that we get to a place in life where we find those handful of people that know you...really know you...the good, bad, and ugly...and still love you! Those are the ones that we make the time for and we cherish. Those are the relationships that we protect with all of our power because those are the ones that fill our hearts and souls.
One of my friends gave me the best compliment that anyone has ever given me tonight. She sent me at text that said "At times it feels selfish to be your friend. You are appreciated"! Wow! My heart is about to pop! What an amazing thing to say to someone...I will hold onto that text forever! I feel the same about all of my true, dear friends. It is selfish that I get to be their friends...but I'm not giving them back! :O)

Today I am thankful for:
(Photo compliments of Lauren Ludlam)
The beautiful colors of the Fall leaves!
Isn't it amazing how God decided that, while these leaves die, they would put on a wonderful show of colors for us? That was really nice of Him!

Day 7 of 30- Daylight Savings
I am thankful for:
Daylight Savings Time!
This morning I felt like I was cheating and sleeping in! It was so nice to see the sun coming up, then knowing that I had another hour to sleep! :O)
