Thankful Thursday

My great-grandfather Pop.

He's 100.

And he wears the same sunglasses as me.

Except his are hot pink :)

Happy Thursday!

Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful for my best friend Christy today. Last weekend she flew down with me and was my wingman as I supervised the moving men pack and move Kenny's stuff in Jacksonville.

Hanging out at the Jacksonville Landing - after all the work was done

And I'm sure Kenny is thankful for a fiancee who is willing to do his dirty work :)

Thankful Thursday: Thanksgiving Edition

On this Thanksgiving, I am thankful for: (in no particular order)

My Pop. 99 years and 9 months. God-fearing, hardworking, lovable, funny. My inspiration.
My Momma. Best friend. My  hero.
My Dad. My rock.

My boyfriend. My love.

My nephews. Teach me new things every time I'm with them. Let me experience the world through their eyes.
My extended family. Who love me like I'm their own.

My high school friends. My first understanding of true friendship.
My college friends, who have become my "adult" friends. My confidantes. My grounding force.
My Riva friends. My world travelers. No matter how long it's been since we've seen each other, it's always the same.
My faith. My health. My job.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thankful Thursday: Happy Veteran's Day

I'm grateful for and proud of the two most important men in my life.

My Dad

My Boyfriend

Thanks to my Dad and Kenny, and all the other men and women who serve or served their country so bravely and selflessly.

Thankful Thursday: Memorial Day Edition

Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching. Not only is it the signal of the beginning of summer, it's a time to remember those who have served their country as well as those who have died for their country. I come from a military family, where I've seen first hand the sacrifice of those who protect us and our freedom. I just wanted to take some time to reflect and remember those who are braver than myself. Thanks to everyone who serves our country!!

A big thanks to my dad who was in the Navy for 26 years. He served in Desert Storm as well as Operation Iraqi Freedom. He spent 6 months out of the year for the first 8 years of my life on deployment. I know he's won lots of medals (I've seen them on his uniform), couldn't tell you what they're for...but big things I bet. Thanks daddy for taking the time away from your family and friends to make this world a better place! :)

Another big thanks to my boyfriend, Kenny. He's been in the Navy since summer 2006, if you include him being in OCS in the equation. He was just recently on deployment from May 2009 to December 2009. He's doing very well and I'm very proud of him.

The biggest thanks goes to my 2 favorite Navy men. Thanks for everything guys!

Thankful Thursdays

- I am thankful that I get to spend the weekend with one of my best friends. I'm looking forward to just lounging around, talking and be with just her for a few days.

- I am thankful for Sally Henson's "Nail Nutrition." I have been using it for the past week and its helping me to stop biting my nails...the jury is still out on whether or not its actually making them stronger.

- I am thankful for York Peppermint Patties...1 will take care of my chocolate/sweet tooth craving I have every afternoon, and I mean EVERY afternoon!

- I am thankful for a flexible job that lets me work from home sometimes.

Happy Thursday!

Thankful Thursday

So I've seen this on a few people's blogs, and thought that I would give it a try:

- I am thankful that it's Thursday. Which means tomorrow's Friday and I LOVE the weekends!

- I am thankful for the Bridal Expo this weekend. Hopefully Christy will get some good ideas for her wedding. And I'm secretly (not so much anymore) hoping to get some ideas for mine...no I'm not even engaged, but in the future ;)

- I am thankful for my TIVO. I was able to rewind American Idol last night and re-live the pull up your pants song once more.

- I am thankful for the exciting month and a half I have coming up. Lots of visiting friends, family and boyfriend :)
