Things I am Thankful for #23

Thursday again?!?! Already?? WOW! :)

1) I am thankful that it feels like EVERYTHING is falling into place in my life for once!!

2) I am thankful to be able to be buying a house (provided everything goes well from now until closing on July 30th). It's such an awesome feeling!

3) I am thankful for the opportunities that have presented themselves in the past 2 weeks. Not just for me, but for my husband as well. So fantastic!!!

4) I am thankful for the friends I have made here in TX. I do miss my friends from CA, and I made some awesome ones there, but I feel like the ones here are just different. But in a very good way!!! :)

5) I am thankful that Monday was our 1 year wedding anniversary! I wish we could have spent it together, but just the fact we have made it a year is exciting all in itself! Can't wait to spend many more with him!

Things I am Thankful for #22

Ain't that the truth!!! :)

1) I am thankful that my mother-in-law doesn't mind watching my dogs for the weekend while I go to Oklahoma for my family reunion. Also, I am thankful that my father-in-law is so great too!! I am staying the night tonight in the studio where my husband lived for a little while, it's right behind my FIL's house. Anyway, I had gotten a text earlier saying that he had come over, turned the lights on, unlocked the door, turned the fans on, AND had a green tea waiting in the fridge for me!! They're the best!!!

2) I am thankful that my husband is sooooo supportive! We have been in the process of trying to buy a house. However, I have been the one doing all of the work. Getting approved for the loan, looking at houses, making offers, etc. Well, through all of this, nothing but positiveness has come from my husband. He tells me how proud of me he is for doing this all on my own. I LOVE it! I LOVE him!! :)

3) I am thankful that I am NOT the one driving tomorrow! Heading to OK from my hometown bright and early, like 6 am early, and I do not have to drive a bit! My dad, and grandparents are going to do the driving!

4) I am thankful that I found someone to take care of my kittens while I am gone for the weekend. My dogs are a little high maintinence. Cats are pretty independant. But I still needed someone to at least feed them twice a day while I will be gone.

5) I am thankful that my realtor is so nice, and helpful! He's been such a great realtor! He hasn't been pushy about looking at HIS listings. If I don't like it, no biggy. On to the next! I feel like most realtors would still kinda try to get you to at least look at their listing one more time, or see what you don't like about it, and try and talk you into it. He has not been like that at all! As a matter of fact, since I will be out of town this weekend, he brought me paperwork to my work tonight so I could sign it so we could put an offer on a house! So cool!

Any who, that's it for this week!!! I REALLY need to hit the sack! Gotta be up at 5.... :/

Things I am Thankful for Thursday #21

OOPS!! I was in such a bad mood last Thursday, that I wasn't even in the mood to do this... That's no excuse though! This blog was made so that I wouldn't forget that I have PLENTY to be thankful for, bad mood or not. So tonight I am going to post 10 things I am thankful instead of 5...

Also, just wanted to take a moment to explain the photo real fast... This photo was taken a few days ago in/near my hometown of Ruidoso, New Mexico. The original poster of this photo is Tree Escalanti, and I believe she is also IN the picture. There is a horrible fire going on there right now that is finally around 40 something % contained. It was started on Monday the 4th by lightening. It's taken at least 234 structures, 224 of those peoples homes. More than 1,000 emergency crews (volunteer firefighters, national guard, local law enforcement, hot shots from out of town/state) are there working on getting it put out. Hopefully, it will be at 100% contained soon! I know of at least 3 people who have lost homes... 2 that actually lived in their homes, and one home that was a vacation home/was up for sale. Keep them all in your thoughts and prayers. On that note, here's my Thankful Thursday for this week!!!!

1) I am thankful that the fire in my hometown has not had any HUMAN casualties. Animals are important parts of family too, but I'm just glad that no human lives have been taken.

2) I am thankful for ALL the men and women who are working hard to get the fire out. They've got to be exhausted, hungry, and sore! They are an awesome bunch!!!

3) I am thankful that I was able to help by sending food kits to one of the fire stations. It will be getting there tomorrow, thanks to a friend who is going up there.

4) I am thankful that we didn't get the house that we really wanted. That just means there's something better for us out there.

5) I am thankful that there has been so much love and support coming from ALL over to help with this fire in my hometown. I had friends help me put the food kits together either physically helping, or donating money so I could get the supplies! People as far as WA state, and North Carolina have wanted to get involved and send donations...

6) I am thankful that my husband is okay after a horrible storm that hit where he lives a few days ago. He lives in a little RV and I'm sure it took a beating with the wind and hail. I know his work truck has hail damage... So I am definitely thankful he's okay !

7) I am thankful that no one in my family had to evacuate. I can imagine how scary that must have been for the families that did have to. But I am thankful none of mine had to.

8) Thankful that we are getting rain here where I live. TX could ALWAYS use rain!!!

9) I am thankful that I am going to be getting to go to my family reunion this year! Haven't gotten to go in a couple of years due to distance and money issues. But now that I live closer, and can catch a ride with some of my family, I am getting to go. Plus, we will be celebrating my great grandmothers 100th birthday!!! :)

10)I am thankful that my realtor has been so helpful, nice, and honest! I don't want to get screwed as I am doing this stuff pretty much by myself. Since my husband lives out of state, I am the one dealing with the realtor, and the loan officer. And the realtor has been incredible!

Things I am Thankful Thursday #20 (on a Friday...)

Ahhh, sorry I am getting this out there late... I had some things going on last night that needed to be taken care of! But, better late than never! :)

1) I am thankful for the best husband in the world! I know I always brag about him and am thankful for him, but it's all just too true! He is the BEST! :)

2) I am thankful that I am getting to go to my family reunion/great grandmothers 100th birthday celebration this month! Gonna be nice to see (most) of my family.

3) I am thankful that I have this whole weekend off, except for a work meeting tomorrow which is only supposed to be an hour long... YAY! That means I get to spend ALL weekend with my husband since this is his weekend off and he will be here tomorrow!

4) I am thankful that so far, this year has been pretty awesome. Nothing too terrible going on, everything seems to be going smooth thus far. A few bumps in the road, but nothing too bad.

5) I am thankful that payday is next week! :) Sooooo ready for another paycheck... Yes, maybe I am a little money hungry. But when you don't make a whole lot, you get excited about every paycheck!
