Hi! I hope that everyone has had a great week! I am excited that I have inspired some other people to post their weekly thankfuls. I look forward to reading them all week! Here we go with week 2 of November thankfulness.
8. I am thankful for my wonderful in-laws. I often talk with people who struggle with their relationship with the in-laws. I seriously won the lottery when it comes to my in-laws. They are wonderful to Greg and I, and we are so happy that they are such an important part of our lives. They support us, and love us no matter what is going on, and we are thankful for that every single day.
9. I am thankful for extra money that Greg and I had to use for a nice dinner out. We don't go out to eat often at all because we don't always have money to spend on a fancy meal out. This night was a rare treat for us, and we went to eat at PF Changs. It was a delicious treat!
10. I am thankful for new friends that we are making in Durham. We have been getting to know several new people, and I am looking forward to seeing where our friendship takes us!
11. I am thankful for veterans. Greg and I have several veterans in our families. We are especially thankful for those in our family that have served our country.
12. I am thankful for friends that call, text, and message when I'm having a bad day. Those thoughts and messages really help when you are just having a crappy day. It makes me think of how I can easily send those types of messages when I know a friend that's have a hard day.
13. I am thankful for fuzzy socks. I don't think I really have an explanation for this. I just love them. I am thankful to own several pairs that I wear all the time when the weather is cold.
14. I am thankful for our sweet babies, Hershee and Penni. It's amazing how they love us unconditionally. I am so thankful that they are there to snuggle with me on cold nights. I seriously cannot imagine our life without them. I'm going to go love on them right now!

30 Days of Thankfulness: Week 1
I love November. It's the month that I was born, it's the beginning of the holidays, it's a great month for college football, it's the month when cooler weather moves in, and it's the month when I like to think about all the things I am thankful for. Last year I did one post where I talked about all the things I was thankful for, but I think this year I am going to try and do a weekly post. I think it will give me time to really reflect on the past year, and I'll spend time each day thinking about what I am thankful for.
1. I am thankful for Greg. I know that I say it every year, and I will continue to list him every year. There is really no one that I would rather face the challenges of life with. I am thankful every single day that Greg is my partner in life. I love him every day more than the last.
2. I am thankful for time spent with family. We were in Gatlinburg, TN last week with my parents, my brother, sister in law, and my sweet nephew. I am so glad that we got to go there together and spend time together laughing and joking. We missed that my other brother was not able to make it. But, I am looking forward to all of us being together again at Christmas.
3. I am thankful for my parents. I am especially thankful for the time we were able to spend with them last weekend. I am glad that we have the technology that we have, so that I can see them on FaceTime whenever I need/want to. I am glad that Greg and I have their love and support throughout our journey.
4. I am thankful that I got so spend time with my college roommate, Allison, last week. I hadn't seen Allison since her wedding! It had been way too long. I am so glad that Greg and I decided to detour over to Cherokee, NC before heading to Gatlinburg last weekend. I loved seeing her and Danny, and I really loved putting my hands on her belly trying to feel the baby move. I can't wait for their little one to arrive!
5. I am thankful that Durham is really starting to feel like home to us. We have signed our lease for another year, and I am looking forward to staying. We haven't lived anywhere long enough to feel the "home" feeling that we are starting to have here. I'm excited about friendships that are being formed with people that we have met and been spending more time with in Durham.
6. I am thankful for the holiday season. For some reason, I am really ready to get all my Christmas decorations out! I am sure that Greg would tell you how shocking this is because he thinks that I don't have a ton of holiday spirit, but he only thinks that because I don't love watching all those terribly corny Hallmark channel/ ABC Family holiday movies. ugh. They are awful. But, I am looking forward to the long trip home at Christmas to see our families, and just general holiday cheer.
7. I am thankful for Lauren, Bryson, and B. I have been taking care of B for 14 months now. I cannot believe how big he is getting! I am so glad that I have a job to go to everyday that I love so much. Every single day with B is an adventure, and I wouldn't trade spending that time with him for anything. I am so happy to be a part of their family, and I look forward to watching B grow over the next year.
