thankful

as a part of the thanksgiving week. i thought i would share a few things i am thankful for this year.

the first thing that comes top of mind is that nebraska won the big 12 north! whoot, whoot! i say this with not only the fact that my favorite team won. but this also brings peace within my family. we had a couple of days where the tension was a little thick. there were a few days that you might call depression. but those days are behind us. and we have moved on. moved on with new superstitions that seem to help the team. my favorite blackshirt t-shirt stopped working mid season. found something new. i cant reveal any of the new ones. we still have three more games. might jinx the team!

second, for my family. i am so excited to have granny, and i guess bruno come down for turkey day. haha. i do love the man. he will help keep things entertaining. although he has yet to meet zola and he isnt a dog person. he didnt really like cory that much (how could you not), so meeting wild & crazy zola will be a test. but i am thankful i have grandparents alive that i can spend time with and that can still drive to see us!

third, i am thankful for zola. she has really become a sweet girl. and special part of the family. she will never replace our angel cory (who i still miss all the time), she has brought back the spark to our family. i love her kisses and snuggling with her as a part of her 20 minute greeting when i walk in the door. although she can not fit into her new mrs. claus outfit, i will add some fabric and as tim gunn would say make it work!

fourth, i am thankful for all my friends who have found their soul mates. i had three friends get engaged this year and another entered wedded bliss. (i speak about them like they arent the only ones who read this blog). i am so very happy for them. it has been very special to be apart of the love stories and share in their journeys. i am very honored to be apart of the three weddings next summer and help with the planning. and i am lucky to not even compare to the movie 27 dresses, so far i only have 2 dresses for 4 weddings!
