stressed, run down, BUT so THANKFUL....

This last week and a half has been a little crazy...well, actually it’s been a LOT crazy! Kaz found out last Monday he had to go to Colorado for right at 2 weeks...It couldn’t have come at a busier time for me with work....He left the next day, and it’s been me, Annie Rice, and Miley since BUT thankfully he comes home tomorrow:) I’m so excited! Like I mentioned, it’s been busy...BUT the Lord has really done so much! He has placed so many amazing people in our lives to help out! I’m so thankful for every single person...My parents, although they didn’t mind at all when I mentioned the word “Annie Rice” :), came down and watched Annie Rice all weekend. On Saturday, I literally got her up that morning and kissed her goodbye and didn’t see her not one other time that day...it was crazy! Not only did they watch Annie Rice, but they took care of Miley, went grocery shopping for me, ran errands for me, and cleaned my house...Blessed...

I’m so thankful for all of these guys in our Sunday School class for selflessly helping move some furniture out of our house on Saturday morning to a storage unit. There was only 3 pieces of furniture...Notice 8 guys! Wow, what a blessing..

 I’m thankful for my sweet pup Miley..At times, she can really annoy me and since June she has taken last place in this house BUT it’s times like these that I am EXTREMELY thankful for her. She has protected us while Kaz has been gone and just been such a comfort to me! She wakes me up every morning by putting her nose on the side of my bed until I roll over and hit her in the face...It’s her way of saying, “I’m ready to go out”! AND she hasn’t jumped on the bed NOT ONCE all week! Usually when Kaz is gone, I let her sleep in the bed with me but then I get in trouble when Kaz gets back because Miley tells on me by jumping on the bed at night:) BUT I haven’t given in not once and she hasn’t even tried jumping up! I am very thankful for her!!!

I’m thankful for good friends who have taken me out to dinner...given me Godly and wise counsel, and watched Annie Rice during my daily photography sessions...

I’m also very THANKFUL for each of you! I have received so many amazing emails the last few weeks...I have never even met many of you, yet I feel like I have so many wonderful friends all over the world! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your amazing support, encouragement, and prayers!
