what a great way to spend an afternoon....

Howdy everyone!! So I'm sitting under the canopy out on our deck. Just enjoying mother nature and all the simple things that life has to offer.. It's a great way to spend an afternoon when you can sit outside in the cool breeze & listen to all of the different types of birds chirping away. :)
So I have a confession to make.. This time of year has to be my absolute favorite time of year. It's nice to slow down and relax a little. It's almost like the responsibilities are lessoned for a while and the chance to just kick back and enjoy all of God's beautiful creation can begin :) Sure, I get to enjoy His creation year around, but this time of year I take time to notice even more than before :)

Tonight is going to be a great night because the FISH FRY seems to be calling my name and Kary's name. So of course we have to answer the calling ;)

This is random but.... It's very hard to believe that Kary and I have been married for 11 months! It seems like just yesterday I was posting how we had been married for a WEEK. Time sure flies that's for sure, but in one month we will have been married for 1 year.. The day we got married was by far the best day of my life. Kary's the most incredible guy & husband that any woman could ever ask for :)

So, I've been thinking about how important it is to be thankful and not take for granted all the blessings that's in your life. Here's a list of just some of the things that I'm thankful for....
I'm thankful for...
God, my life, health, freedom, family, old friends and new friends that all of a sudden come into your life and add soo much joy to your day ( you know who you are :) , my job, our home & our dogs, opportunities, the ability to learn, mother nature & sooo many more things that I could go on and on and on with but I'll save the rest for another time.. I'm just a very thankful person & I never want to take any of the above for granted.. :)

This blog is pretty random, because this beautiful day and the clean air has my brain going in all sorts of directions..:) Before I get off of here and go get ready for my "dinner date" tonight :) I'll leave you with some random facts about myself.. You will soon learn that I am crazy!! haha
