Happy Friday..on a serious note


This picture has been provided by the fabulous Mr. Ben

I cannot believe Friday is FINALLY here! This week has seemed to last forever. Here is our week in review:

Sunday - Had a late night McDonalds chicken nugget dinner..comfort food
Monday - heard GREAT news for my Dad, ate mission burrito and drank a beer in celebration
Tuesday - sliced open my finger trying to cut bread..Adam bandaged me up and was a very good husband
Wednesday - tried to make our first crock pot meal and it failed miserably. We ate Papa Johns instead.
Thursday - Both of us ate for $3.58 at Subway!

This weekend Adam has Toys for Tots with the Marines. I'm hoping to get my Christmas shopping finished up...we always wait until the last minute!

I know it is not Thanksgiving anymore, but sometimes its nice to think about the things you are thankful for. I have been keeping up with one blog in particular, and I recommend you reading this. Be warned, it is a very sad story, but has many positive outlooks throughout. Every time I read one of the posts, it reminds me that I have a lot to be thankful for in my life. Although things are not always ideal or perfect, you can always find a positive in some way. The blog  The Sullivans , is about a young man who just welcomed his baby girl into the world, and lost his wife a couple weeks later. The posts start in 2008, and I recommend you reading from the beginning. This story goes to show that you never know what can happen in life, and you should make the best out of each day.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
