I Am Thankful For

What am I thankful for? A number of things...

I'm thankful for an amazing husband who despite my efforts to all but sabbotage our relationship at time has stood by me and my crazy ideas, thoughts, rants, etc. He remains my rock and I am truly, truly, blessed to call him mine.

I'm thankful for my 2 amazing children. They have redeeemed me when I thought that I was all but gone. They are the light to my world and I could not imagine a life without them in it. They have brought me so much more joy than I deserve. Thank you God for blessing me with them.


I'm thankful for my military family. I know that being a miltary spouse is hard. HARD! It's being able to connect with other women & men in my shoes, knowing that despite it's challenges, I never face being a military wife alone, that too is priceless. For you all, I am so very thankful.



I'm thankful for this blog. It has been my solace in a place of none. I know that I can come here and put whatever I'm feeling here and get advice from you my readers. I've made friendships and met some of the most wonderful people I know. If it was for this blog I wouldn't have done that. I'm thankful for that. Having this connection to the world and to you all is priceless.

I'm thankful for employment when a year before there was none. I finally have a place in a position where I can be me and my opinions are valued, for that I am thanful.

I'm thankful that I am healthy, happy, and heading in the right direction. I wasn't always and life has certainly been a beautiful struggle. I'm happy I am here.

Wow... I'm actually getting emotional here... moist at the eyes even. I guess when you really reflect on things that mean most to you in life it can be that way. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with your family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving.

Mmmmmm.... Pumpkin Pie Dip

In the spirit of Thanksgiving I'd like to share with you a recipe that I found last year on an awesome food blog named Peonies & Peppermint. I love her blog and the recipes on it... Oye! Seriously stop by if you're in a food rut for some good old fashion inspiration!


Anywho, back to this yummy dip! I made it several times during Thanksgiving and again at Christmas. I was amazed by how super easy it is to make and how absolutely delicious was. This dip was definitely a crowd-pleaser. So... Here you go! If you make it, you have to come back and tell me how it was! I'll add a picture to this post later...  I'm at the office right now... LOL This is me being productive. :-) Shhhhh!

The Artist vs The Cricket

This girl definitely did not get this from me. I would have been terrified if that thing was on me. Not her... She enjoyed every minute of it. She never ceases to amaze me; this one.

My Little Pilgrim

I am at my daughter's school for Thanksgiving lunch and I just thought this was too cute not to share. :-)

WoooHooo!

She's back! Hey yall! What's been going on?! Have you missed me?

 Things have been so crazy over here. New job, new hobby (Texas Holdem'), new friends, and music... Whew! And to top that off I'm mom of a kindergartener... Busy, busy, me!

Don't laugh at my new hobby neither... I'm good at poker mmmkay! LOL How I've missed my blog. Missed, missed, missed it!

New Job = Craziness! I'm doing something I've not done before... I work for a software company and it's actually quite fun. Either that or I'm a huge nerd... (probably the latter) Ha! Plus, I love, love, love my super New Yorker boss! He is a no holds-barred, take charge, say it like ya mean it Bronx born guy and it's completely polar opposite of my quiet preppy girl from down south demeanor but it works. We balance each other out and make a great team; which in turn makes for an even more awesome work environment. Can't ask for much more.

New friends... I've made a handful of new friends in my area and they are just amazing people. My facebook status at one point was I can't believe there are still so many just plain people in my little neck of the woods. I can't. What's even more cooler is that not only have I made friends, but so have the Sergeant Children. The Artist loves school and I swear not a weekend has gone by where we don't have a party to go to... How many kids are in her class anyway? Seems like there are 41631214347 of them. LOL For reals.

Music, still writing and recording. Fun stuff. I'm not ready to share it with the world yet, but believe you me when I get over this awful fear of sharing my art, you my dear sweet readers will be the first to know it!

Okay... well, this is one of those fly-by lunch posts and I've got to go! If you're still reading I like comments and I want to know what's been new with you too! :-)

XO,

dear blog

I miss you and I promise to be back soon.

Love,
Me
