Snow!

We got a few inches of snow Thursday night and Friday. It made it very hard to go to work but it was so pretty!

Lily liked playing in the snow, too!

Thankful Thursdays

I'm thankful for:

• people (including my dear friend, Lisa) who are using their God-given talents to help all of the people in need
• that rescuers found another survivor in the rubble. What an amazing miracle.
• for the snow falling on the ground. It'll be a rough drive to work tomorrow but wow is it beautiful!

His Hands

A new favorite song. SO thankful to know that how no matter how much my hands mess up, HIS hands will always protect me.

"Established" Sign

I can officially cross out a project on my project list! I'm very happy with the way it turned out - it's not perfect but I made it!

It's hanging on the wall in our entry now!

Favorite Shopping Spots @ Kelly's Korner

We're sharing our favorite shopping spots this week on Kelly's - I can't wait to see where everyone likes to shop and hopefully find a few new favorites!

Mike laughs at me because I do enjoy shopping but I very rarely buy anything unless I have a coupon or it's on sale. I think it's funny too but my Mom did the same thing when I was growing up so I got it from her and I've found that I enjoy my "deals" so much more than anything I spend more money on.

As for my favorite places to shop.... most of my clothes are from two places:

and

I like the styles and the prices (especially with those sales and coupons!). Not to mention the fact that I can actually find pants that are long enough for me at Gap - yay for their "Tall" option online! :-)

I also like H&M but we don't have one where I live so I only get to go when we visit family.

If I weren't worried about prices so much, I'd frequent these places quite a bit more often:

I got my favorite coat on sale from J. Crew a few years ago and want to get another one in a new color eventually but I have to wait for my size in the right color to go on sale. :-)

And who doesn't enjoy the spunk that Anthro's clothes bring? I think they're so fun!

Thankful Thursdays

I'm thankful for:

• food on our table
• a roof over our heads
• clothes to keep us warm
• our new bed and all the room that comes with a king size mattress
• my wonderful family
• another weekend that's almost here
• people who are able and willing to help so many people desperately in need
• that so many families, who have been waiting to be with their children are now together. I'm am glad such joy can come out of the earthquake in Haiti

Thankful Thursdays

I'm thankful for:

• warmer weather. Funny, I go from being very anxious for cooler weather when it's hot, to wanting warmer weather when it has been freezing. Amazing how 40 degrees feels like summer right now. :-)
• the manners my parents taught me when I was little and that little things go a LONG way.
• continuing to make our house feel like a home.
• amazing blessings from and for friends
• getting to see my family this weekend
