I Am Thankful For...

(in random order)

Less Migraines this year and medicine that does not make me feel bad all the time

My cute, hard working, responsible provider and funny husband who makes my little world complete


The family who loves to hug and loves me for all my quirks, my humor and my sensitive heart

That the old guy on the brand new Harley who rear-ended me & totaled my car in the spring did not get hurt or die.

Free hair care from my mother-in-law beautician


A mama who calls daily just to hear my voice

A job that does not feel like a job but rather a meeting amongst friends where I can use all my God given skills.

For loving neighbors who love me like family


My fab four (Samuel, David, Daniel and Anna K.) for all the warm fuzzy feelings they give me.

That I can now successfully decorate birthday cakes like a real baker for all my favorite people


A safe and comfortable place to call home

Mrs. Carolyn for bringing true belly laughter and tears of joy to my life while giving me a glimpse at myself in forty years

Learning to react with my heart instead of my emotions


Receiving 5 invitations for Thanksgiving dinner …I feel loved , torn and wish I could wiggle my nose and be at all 5 homes but I will have to settle for 1.



Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you can stop and reflect on all those things
that make you thankful this year.

Abby

I am thankful for my "Baby daughter" and the wonderful lady she has become. I am thankful that she has settled in a job where her God given abilities are needed and appreciated. I am thankful that she loves her family and thinks of and calls her Daddy often. I am thankful that she is cooking my supper tonight.

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good p...

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu...

The Treasures 1. My name is Julie. I also go by Jules, Julia, Ju , and I will soon be called JuJu by Henry, my nephew to be! 2. I live in Arkansas and always have but have only lived in Lincoln county for three years. 3. My wonderful hubby is the Pastor of our church. How about that for a lofty title! 4. I have already answered this question in #2, but we have been at this church for three years (well, three years and 15 days!) 5. Yes, I have children.
