Willie/Thanks

Willie is....not much different.

He seems to be a little grassier on the left side though.


I always have a lot to be thankful for. Only for some reason when I do this I keep it simple.
What are you all thankful for?



This week I am Thankful for:

1. The husband

2. Laziness

3. Hope (not in a hope and change kind of way, but in my own way)

4. The ability to be creative and thrifty

Weekend Time

This is what I'll be working on this weekend.
It is Brittany's photo key hanger that she has been asking for forever.

Honestly, I started this Monday and I haven't touched it since...but this weekend is your weekend Brittany. I promise!

Hello There

Sorry I haven't been around. I have been lazy lately.
I said to Kevin last night..."I am not doing anything that I am supposed to be doing and I am happy with it." He said, "OK" :)

So, I will start getting back to normal maybe tomorrow. Cheryl, I promise I haven't forgotten about your special prize. It is almost done!

No news on the job front yet. We are praying hard over here.

One last thing....Valentine's Day is coming up. Don't slack and buy something at the last minute!
Show your Mother or special lady that you LOVE her and give her a heart shaped SHELL WREATH. She will think of the ocean and you every time she sees it. It just so happens that I specialize in these so it's your lucky day!!!

Do the right thing.

Thanks!

This week I am thankful for:

1. Husband

2. Doors being opened

3. Girl Scout cookies

4. My office windows ;)

Friday

Happy Friday everyone!

Kevin and I have a very big weekend ahead of us. We are heading back over to Sanibel Island to pursue a prospective Attorney position for husband.

You all know Kevin has been looking for jobs for quite some time.
We are hoping and praying that this one will work out and if not, lead us to something that will.

That said, we hope everyone has a great, relaxing and fun weekend.

See you Monday

Food Lovers

Here is something to do. I got this idea from Annechovie's blog.

I am supposed to bold the foods I have tried and cross out the ones I would never try. Turns out I don't know how to cross out, so I will star the ones I would never eat!

Kevin and I loooove food, as I am sure most people do. We watch a lot of food shows and our current favorite is Man VS. Food. You should watch it. It's great fun.
