We’re enjoying our week in Texas and TC will join us in a couple of days. We miss him so much!
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday (that may or may not be because of the amazing food), I’m going to tell you the significant and less significant things for which I am so very thankful. I did this a couple of years ago, but I know my list has probably changed a lot since then!
1. My Savior, Jesus Christ, who died for me and gives me everything for which I am thankful.
2. My loving husband, TC
3. My little Hud Bud and his little sibling that we’re so excited to meet.
4. My supportive parents who are two of my best friends and my brother.
5. My loving in-laws and grandmother-in-law.
6. My extended family
7. Boudreaux and Fiona for being the most loyal creatures in my life. How special that I know they will never hold a grudge.
8. My best friends and the best friends that I’ve made through blogging
9. Our warm home
10. Our wonderful church family
11. A great football season from the Gamecocks- it has made my husband very happy!
12. Freedom, safety, and security
13. My fortunate ability to stay home with my son, which also allows me to see my family more frequently.
14. The curl down method and my sweet friend Amy for teaching it to me!
15. My Olivia Garden hair brush
16. A wonderful thing in Columbia called 256togo.com because it has made this pregnancy so much easier!
17. A real message in my email inbox or a hand-written card in the mail. I love being connected!
18. A quiet house
19. An inside joke between TC and me
20. A great well-planned vacation or a spur of the moment dinner out of town
21. Knowledge and information
22. The smell of a real wood-burning fire
23. Fresh laundry
24. Naps
25. Great movies and songs. We know them by heart and have no shame in quoting and singing along.
26. A long phone call with a great friend.
27. The beginning of the Christmas season and the spirit and joy that is alive in others during this time of year.
Thanks for sharing what you’re thankful for — so many of those are mine too! I am curious — what is the curl down method? 🙂 Have a lovely week with your family!
I love you list! And we call our Hudson “Hud Bud” too!
Ok, #14 made me tear up! Love to know what you are thankful for, happy I made the list, and just wanted you to know that I’m thankful for YOU! We need to catch up soon via telephone…
OH! And a real, wood burning fire is my FAVORITE smell of all time.
With some if the day to day frustrations of being a mom and keeping a house together, it is easy to forget all the blessings. Thanks for the reminder 🙂
Great list! Glad you’re having fun in Texas – it IS the best state in the US! 🙂
Great list!!! I love a real wood fire too! Makes me think of my precious Granny!
I was going to point out my favorites on your list, but let’s be honest, I love them all! Especially # 8:)
I am very thankful for you, friend!! Have a wonderful holiday with your precious family!
Number 22 is right up there on my list!
I love this post! What is the curl down method???
So many things to be thankful for this year 🙂
p.s. when I first read #15, I thought it said “Olive Garden hair brush” instead of “My Olivia Garden hair brush.” haha!
Ok, I’m jumping on the bandwagon but am dying to know! What is the “curl down” method? I’m assuming it’s something to do with the awesome way you style your hair; do share!!
Great list:) I am going to copy and do one on my blog too:) Hope your shower went well and hope to chat soon! I miss you loads and pray someday we will get to meet in real life! xoxox
Love your list! Very similar to what I am thankful for as well. Thanks for sharing!
Hi! Tell me more about the hair brush…. trying to find a good new one!( I would love to learn “the curl down method)… Mine is called the pony method… he he- Could use some help in that area!
Great to see you and Hudson at the park…..You look great!!!
Happy Turkey Day- Loved your list- we all have so much to be Thankful for!!!!
Enjoy Texas and give me a call when you get back in town and give the info on pj’s with santa…. Thanks Erin!!!
Thanksgiving is my fav. as well! I’ve gotten sort of upset this year though, it hasn’t seemed to get much attention this year! 🙁 everyone has gone straight to Christmas…which I also love..but in a few more days…
I’m with Tiff – Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and the shops all seem to jump straight to Christmas. I enjoyed your Thankful list! Hopefully I can find some time today to post my own list.
#14 cracks me up! It really doesn’t take much to make us girls happy, does it? Happy Thanksgiving!
I LOVE good hair products and they can make or break a good hair day which is another thing to be thankful for as well!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
