Time flies.

Where has this month gone already? Tell me that.

So we've been in Spokane 4 years now. It feels like forever. Feels like home. And feels right. I never thought I'd say that, but this place really grows on you, we like it here! Happy 4 years to us and Spokane.

We've also been in our home a year now. WOWSERS! Time sure does fly doesn't it? I mean it was just a minute and then okay they were building it, we were moving in to now!

Alyssa will be turning 13 in 3o something days. Where did that time go? A teenager in the house! EEEKKK! We've already been transitioning into that a lot these past few months, lol! She's a great girl though I cannot complain. The coolest part? She doesn't want a party. She wants only 2 of her friends to come over and spend the night. She is trying to decide if she wants to go out to a fancy dinner with them, or just have them come over and eat junk all night long. I gave her the option. Easy on us actually! I am prayerful D is actually here. Either way I'll get photos too, so its no biggy! Even if she doesn't choose the nice dinner out with her friends, we'll be taking her out to a really nice place for dinner. After all, she's 13 and has some lovely new dresses too!

Got some sneaks to share with ya!
I created each of these for Treasured Scrapbooking!! you'll be able to check out the full reveal on the 15th!
I am totally excited about these, I loved working with this kit!

I went thrifting about a week ago with my friend Lori. We met up at one of the one's we always go too. I wasn't really in the mood to try on clothes because I had a mission. I was going to find a new blanket for Jake and I wasn't going to pay over 3 bucks for it. I want an old red suitcase to put up in our alcove, and I wanted to get a seat cushion that I could dye or cover. Of course and anything else that popped up at me along the way! Well I managed to score Jake's new blanket for 2.25! YEAH! I also got a seat cushion for my scrapping chair for only 1.99 too! I didn't find a red old suitcase though. I am going to keep looking for that one. But I also scored an old record holder that I use to hold layouts that I want to display, got that for a buck! It was a great day!

Grateful this week for:

1. When we reminisce about something in our past that's really funny.
2. The Lord talking to me.
3. Dayv come home safely. Even if its only a week that he was gone, I am thankful when he walks through the door.
4. Food.
5. Laughing really hard with Alyssa because its fun!
6. Time alone with Dayv.
7. Never tiring of what I learn in the bible.
8. Not having to do anything if I don't want to do it.
9. Tooth paste. Imagine a world without it. ICK.
10. Hot tea. I've been drinking a lot of it and I enjoy it.
11. Going to see my extended family. I am thankful of the opportunity. I haven't seen my cousins since 2003 or their children. I am going to be taking tons of photos.

Hope you find yourself in great spirits and have an enjoyable day too!
