Thankful Day 12

Today I am thankful for Christmas photos. We took our photos today. Now since I was not only part of the photo, but also the photographer, we decided to just do the hubs and I, and add photos of the dogs to go along with ours. It worked out great! I'm just trying to figure out how to get the card I've designed to be 6 X 7.5 so that I can get them printed at Costco!

No photo today because our Christmas Cards are going to be a cute surprise.

Thankful Day 9

Today I am thankful for thoughtful friends and surprises in the mail. Today, with emailing, facebooking, text messaging, it seems like the art of letter writing has been lost. I know we are all busy, and have families, jobs, chores and a pack of wolves on our heels, but it's always nice to take 5 minutes to just sit and write a letter to someone who's been on your mind. It makes you feel good and it makes that special someone feel good too.

I love writing and receiving "snail mail" and here's why:

1. It's feels so great to know that someone in your life took the time to sit down and actually write you a letter, totally focusing on what they want to say to you.

2. I love picking out some cute stationary/card (or making my own) with that person in mind that I want to write to.

3. I get so excited when I open the mail box and I see an envelope in there addressed to me that isn't a bill or junk mail.

4. It makes me feel appreciated and thought of I know someone took time out of their busy life to sit for a few minutes and think about me.

So today I am thankful for Snail Mail and the thoughtful friends who still love to send it to me. Thanks pals!


Here's a card I made to send to a friend when I take the time to sit down and write here a little note tonight!

Thankful Day 8

Today I am thankful for my very dear friend Hetal and her family. They have been such a big part of my life for the past few years. They have almost taken me in and made me a little part of their family. Hetal is a good friend and she will always give you her honest opinion, no matter what. She always helps me to see "the other side of the coin" to make sure I'm making the right choices when I need her advice. She's fun loving, thoughtful, and really one of those friends you always wish you had. Her little son Z, is amazing. He brings, like his mom, so much joy to my life. Just hearing him say my name Sacey (Which has now graduated to Stacey...sniff,sniff) makes my heart smile, so much so, that his mom's ring tone on my phone is him singing happy birthday to me!

Thank you Hetal for your friendship and everything you have done for me. I am thankful for you (and little Z too).

Thankful Day 3

Today I am thankful for Brendon's parents for letting us stay with them here in Texas until I can get a full time teaching job. It's been such a relief to know we don't have to stress out about a place to live! Thank you for opening your home to us (and our two pups).

Thankful Day 2

Nov. 2nd

Today I am thankful for my friend, Amanda M. We met through out job and right as she was hired by my former principal, the boss herself came to find me and told me, we just hired our 4th grade teacher. Her name is Amanda and I think the two of you would get along great! And boy if she wasn't right. We are two snowballs from the same wrapper. She has been an amazing friend. We can act stupid and silly and not worry about embarrassing each other. We can have serious "life talks" and go on random trips and no matter where we are or what we talk about we are ALWAYS laughing at some point. When I moved to Texas this Summer, Amanda decided she wanted to Road Trip it in the car with me as we drove from California. That's a true friend to sit in a car with you for 2 and a half days. She made a VERY HARD experience one thousand times easier.

Thank you Amanda for your continued friendship. I am so thankful and blessed that God has put you in my life.

Thankful

November is the month where were really sit and think about what we are thankful for. I encourage you to write down, blog, facebook, tweet, one thing you are thankful for everyday.

Today I am thank for CRAZY, Rainy, windy, days. It helps things grow. I love being out in the rain, running from store to store, and coming home and warming up with a cup of hot cocoa!


The view from my car, on the high way, while on my way to World Market. Pretty clear picture for a camera phone with the little plastic covering still on it! HA!
