Thankful Thursdays (on a Friday)

I'm a day late because we had a great dinner date with our neighbors last night.

I'm thankful for:

• the constant source of reason Mike is in my life, especially when my mind starts wandering and thinking of all things future and trying to plan too much when I really just need to let God do the planning
• my wonderful college girlfriends - I can't tell you how thankful I am to be associated with such Godly women.
• my brothers

Thankful Thursdays

I'm thankful for:

• continued peace that I'm exactly where I need to be right now, despite momentary times of unrest
• predictions of cooler weather that are just days away
• the fact that today is my Friday

Let's Go Cards

Stealing this from Renee. Yet another reason I'm a Cards fan.

In Honor of Triple Digits

Yes, I know, I have been complaining about the heat a lot lately. I much prefer the cold and how could I not with such cute fall clothes. (I'm very much on a clothes kick lately, that rarely happens. Seriously, I still have clothes from 8th and 9th grade...)

Here are some new favorites:

(sorry the first two are so small, I couldn't get them to post any other way)

Boden

Shabby Apple

Garnet Hill

Boden is quickly becoming a new favorite place to shop. Garnet Hill and Shabby Apply have adorable things, too. The clothes make it feel like cool weather can't come soon enough!

Thankful Thursdays

I'm thankful for:

• taking the time to read again. I forgot how nice it was to get lost in a book.
• peace
• little things that make life fun

Cooling Off

In honor of the record-breaking 107 degree weather today, here are a few things I'd rather be doing/places I'd rather be:

The beach. Any beach.

The Alps.

By an autumn campfire. In the autumn, obviously.

Meet Me in St. Louis

My Dad called last Friday, said he had tickets to the Cardinals game, and asked if we wanted to come visit and go to the game. So this Friday, off we went! We had a great time seeing Whitey Herzog's number 24 retired and seeing a Cardinal win. Thanks for a great weekend, Mom and Dad!

The man of the night, Whitey Herzog. So cool to see so many Cardinal legends there to celebrate with him.
