30 Days of Thanks- Day 27

Today I am thankful for family traditions.
For as long as I can remember, the Christmas decorations have gone up the Friday after Thanksgiving and this year was no different.
Just like years past, the day started out with biscuits and gravy for breakfast and then came the Christmas decorations.
Putting up the Christmas decorations is always fun.
Being in a new house this year meant we got to change up the decorations.
We have a Christmas Tree in the living room along with the stocking tree. 


The Christmas Tree in the living room was one got after my Grandma moved in with us so it has all the family ornaments on it.
The stocking tree has all the stocking for my cousins and Grandparents. 
This year we were able to hang our stocking from the banister which was fun to decorate. (My younger brothers stocking is missing so we have to buy him a new one. That's why there is an empty space.)

The last of the decorations are in my room.
After Christmas last year I bought a new tree and decorations because the house we were living in at the time had two living rooms.
The plan was to put a Christmas Tree in each one, but since we moved they went up in my room.

30 Days of Thanks- Day 5

Today I am thankful for the time I get to spend with my cousins.  Today I got to babysit my two youngest cousins and we had a blast together. We ran errands then went out to lunch together (along with my dad).  The short amount of time that we were together today made me realize that I don't spend enough time with any of my cousin, especially the younger ones. There are so many of us and we're all spread out that it makes it difficult to, but I need to try harder.  Spending time with them today also brought back some memories from when I was younger. Us older cousins used to spend what seemed like every summer together at my grandparents.  I'm lucky enough to have those memories.  One day, I hope I'm just as lucky to be able to look back and have amazing memories with the younger cousins as I do with the ones my age.

Today I am thankful for cloudy days.  Since today was a very cloudy day, it was perfect to cuddle with my dog and watch Christmas movies.  I came home after work, ate lunch and curled up in bed with Daisy and watched a couple Christmas movies that I had recorded previously in the week.  It was nice to have a relaxing day after a few weeks of nonstop work and getting ready for thanksgiving.  (Oh... and I'm also thankful for wine.)

Summer 2019

As Summer 2019 quickly comes to an end I thought I would take a minute to reflect on how amazing it was.  At first,time was moving slowly but before I knew it, Summer was coming to an end. This Summer consisted of many fun adventures to familiar places. We started of with a trip to the one our favorite vacation spots... MYRTLE BEACH, SC. This was my dad and I's sixth trip to Myrtle Beach and it is something I look forward to in the summer.   When we get ready to leave on any trip, we like to post about how we're out looking for a store instead of posting exactly where we're going. When it comes time to leave for Myrtle Beach our go to phrase is "Out looking for Walmart."  After two days in the car, we ended up at Walmart. Following a quick trip to Walmart to stock up on food and drinks for the week, finally made it to our hotel. We were able to spend 8 amazing days sleeping in, swimming, and having fun.  While in Myrtle Beach, we visited Bro
