End of the Month

Sorry-- the Blogger App is still not working.  I couldn't even get the title typed without it closing!

Day 26
Amazon/Online shopping.  It's kind of a love/hate relationship, but so convenient!

Day 27
My hounds!  There would be a bunch of pictures here if the app worked...

Day 28
Family. Inlaws, outlaws, blood, and more

Day 29
The SHITMON.  It may not be much, but it's ours.

Day 30
Road trips.  This should be a good one :)

Day 25

Our neighbors. Card nights are hilarious. 

Day 24

Margaritas. 

Yum. 

Day 23

Oreos. 

Day 22

Three day work weeks. I could get used to those!

Day 21

I'm thankful for technology.  I'm able to talk to my friends and family whenever I want!  Like, for example, at 6:30am when you have to let them know how your mother forgave you for slicing your legs open for a game because your cousin was the one who did it in your dream...

Totally normal dream, right?!

Day 20

I'm thankful for birthdays, because that means parties, and that means CAKE!!!

Day 19

Family get togethers.  We're doing DJ's family Thanksgiving today.  I love trying new recipes out on family and hearing them all reminisce about the past.

Days 15-18

Day 15:  I'm thankful for when the Blogger App works.  Today is not one of those days...  nor is Day 16-18, which is why it took so long :)

Day 16: I'm thankful for my bed.  This week has been a little frantic, so when I hit that bed I'm out!

Day 17: Potlucks!  We had one at work and I always love trying everyone else's version of sides!  I realize this grosses some one of you out...

Day 18: Hot apple cider!  It's finally getting chilly around here and I can't wait to get home and curl up with some hot apple cider and a book.  (Let's be real.  That's never happening, but it's a nice thought...)

Catching up!

Day 12
I'm incredibly thankful for weekends.  I love my job and all, but some weeks you just appreciate those weekends a little more!

Day 13
I'm so thankful we live so close to our family!  Friday night was spent with my sister and sister-in-law having a much needed girls night out.  Sunday we went back home so mom could cut DJ's hair.  We then got to help dig out some canna bulbs, which is why I don't have those at my house!

Day 14
Pinterest.  I'm pretty sure we'd be eating tacos and pizza every night if it weren't for Pinterest!

Day 11

I'm thankful I get to be an aunt. Even though my bank account would disagree...

Day 10

I'm thankful for cats. Bet ya didn't see that one coming did ya!? I go out to the barn and there's a new rodent or two dead almost every single day! I've definitely saved money from not having to buy new mouse traps since they showed up! Plus I think the word is getting around to the rabbits so maybe my gardens won't be so devastated this spring!! Here's Minkus-- Stella was too busy taking a nap after gorging on a rabbit. 

Day 9

My education

Go state!

Days 7 and 8

The Blogger app isnt working on my phone, so the lack of posting isn't because I didn't try!!

Day 7- I'm thankful for those who serve.  Police, armed forces, EMTs, fire fighters, etc.  This past week has really put it into perspective at how much they are willing to give.

Day 8- I'm thankful to live in the USA and have the right to vote.  Now go out and vote!

Day 6

One pan meals

Day 5

Man I couldn't even go a week without missing a day. Clearly I'm not cut out for this. Moving on...

Day five I am thankful for meat. And the farmers who help get it to my plate.  And for sales at the grocery store so I can stock up.

Day 4

This guy. 

I'll leave the mushy post for another day though ;)

Day 4

This guy. 

I'll leave the mushy post for another day though ;)

Day 3

Iowa sunsets.  Ahh, God's so artistic!!!

Day 2

Alright, so I'm super excited that I have a baby on the way, but let's be real.  Pongo's always going to be my baby, even though I already call him Old Man.  What's that make me!?

Day1 and Day 100

November is here, but you'd never know if based on the weather!  Right now I'm okay with it, but if the mosquitoes come back I'll have an issue!!  I thought I'd try and do the month of thankfulness thing again this November.

So Day 1:  I'm thankful I get to do a countdown for a baby!!

Here's the update for Day 100.  We're not quite a third of the way there yet.  This is about a week old, but maybe the next one will get posted on time :)

- Babies ears are a half inch long and are unfurling from the head.
-Like me, baby has some hair on its lips.
-Baby is seven inches long and weighs in at one pound.  This is about the size of a six week old kitten.  (Luckily we don't have any more of those running around here!)

And of course, here's some outtakes:

Sometimes she's too friendly!

Poop happens.

She begged me for a selfie.
