November.....

November really is my favorite month of the year! In Texas you are *almost* guaranteed to have some cooler weather and maybe even see some leaves turning colors! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays too. I love that it revolves around a thankful heart, family, friends, spending time together, good food and often a time that reflects on Gods many blessings and goodness.

I have a lot to be thankful for. Here are a few that stand out to me today.

1. Christ love, faithfulness and goodness toward me.
2. An amazing husband that is God gift to me!
3. 2 amazing young men in my life that are my big guys and one little guy on the way.
4. Friends and family that are so dear to us. I am forever grateful for the gift of relationship.
5. Our home. We have been here about 16 months and while we are still making it home I am incredibly grateful for the Lord allowing us to move here.
6. Dates with my husband! Love those treasured times.
7. Good books and yummy food! Often our date times involve those. :)
8. Dave Ramsey...seriously living by the biblical principles he teaches has changed our lives over the last five years.
9. Bessy! My mom taught me as a child that you name your cars. She probably doesn't even remember that but she always named our old cars and talked to them tenderly. My ol' Bessy has 174,000 miles on it, is 11.5 years old and we are so grateful that she keeps on ticking! Sometimes she needs some extra loving or funds but is a lot less than what a newer vehicle cost.
10. Creativity! In nature, decorating, baking, writing, cooking, art....the list is endless!

Happy fall ya'll!!!
