Day Twenty-One: November Gratitude Challenge

 


Today I Am Thankful For:

28 years of marriage

Being married to my best friend

Memories

Hopes for the future


Twenty-eight years & Forever to go

Twenty-eight years ago today two kids stood in a church and promised to spend their lives together. 



It's been 28 years of laughter and heartache. Quiet days and grand adventures. Some tough times and so many more wonderful times.  

We've raised two amazing kids and been blessed with a remarkable grandson. 

The best part of all is imagining what is still waiting for us in the years to come.

Currently... November 2017

November isn't just another special month to me.  I think you could honestly declare it to be the biggest month of my life!  The month kicks off today with my birthday.  I also married the love of my life during this month 25 years ago.  It's a pretty great time of year!

`


Reading:  I finished reading The Secret History of the Mongol Queens, which was very interesting; as well as She's Still There, which was awesome.  I thought I was going to be reading  The Boleyn King by Laura Anderson in October, but I had it confused with The Last Tudor by Philippa Gregory - which is what actually I did read.   Now I'm working my way through a biography Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman by Robert K. Massie, as well as  A Million Little Ways: Uncover the Art You Were Made to Live by Emily P Freeman.


Eating:  Um... what ever I want!!  While I'm going to try not to go too over the top crazy, I'm going to savor each of November's celebrations and all the tasty things that go along with it.  Including my free Starbuck's birthday drink.


Working On:  Can I say it?  Washcloths!  Yes, seriously!  I'm also working on trying to get out of the house a little more and expanding my social circle a little.  There are a couple of crafting and crochet/knit groups I'm going to check out.  And a program or two at the library I hope to attend.


Enjoying:  It probably sounds pretty cheesey, but I am going to go ahead and say "life" !


Anticipating: Obviously, the upcoming holiday season!  I'm more than ready for some turkey dinner and pumpkin pie.  Yummy!  

My Etsy shop is having its second annual Before Black Friday on the 17th.  This went really well last year and I'm praying it does as well, or better, this year. 

Mostly, I am anticipating celebrating our 25th anniversary with the Man of the House later this month!


Feeling:  So very incredibly blessed!!!

Twenty Four

Twenty four years ago today I became the Mrs to this Mr...


It's been twenty four years of ups and downs.  Laughter and tears. New jobs and layoffs.  Kids and grandkids born and family members lost.  Family vacations. Anniversary trips.  Business trips.  House remodels.  New cars and ones that left us stranded on the side of the road.

Most importantly it's been twenty four years of love.

And I am excited to see what the next twenty four years and beyond holds in store for us!
