Gah!! So behind!

Last Friday was the end of November which means THE HUBBY SHAVES HIS BEARD Christmas is right around the corner!  (Side note::Bryan takes the whole "No Shave November" all the way until March  :-/ crap.)  It had been one crazy month to say the very least.  There were been ups and downs and lots of running around in circles.  The only way I'm able to make it through is to take one day at a time, which to be honest, is a pretty great way to live! 

It was a pretty eventful day.  In the morning Logan got his last round of shots until he turns 1.  My new boss had her last 1/2 day at her old property and then officially starts here on Monday.  Most importantly, it was Friday!!

Since I'm running to terribly behind here's my thankful/grateful month of November wrap up!

24) The dryer.  I hate to iron pretty much anything, so if my clothes need a little de-wrinkling back in the dryer they go!  BEST. INVENTION. EVER.!

25) My cell phone.  Yes, I am one of "those" people.  I feel lost and naked without it.  It's a terrible thing to be so attached to a piece of technology, but it's just so darn convenient :).

26) Holidays.  I love the holidays, but most of all, I love Christmas!  I set up my tree the day after Thanksgiving, decked the halls, and have garland and ornaments coming out of my ears!  When I was younger my family would all load up in the car wearing our pj's and sip hot chocolate while driving around town to look at everyones Christmas lights.  Those happy memories always flood back to me this time of year and make me smile.

27) Toothpaste/Floss/toothbrush/etc.  Without any and all of the above, I would probably have terrible teeth due to my ridiculous sugar addiction!  Looks like I get to have my cake and eat it too!

28) The little things.  I love it when the little things are enough to completely turn your day around.  Anything from a little note, to stranger being kind, to getting that extra swirl of whipped cream on your coffee when you didn't already ask for it.  It's the little things that make a difference in everything you do.

29) Doctors/medical advancements.  I know I already touched on this one, but I have a completely different reason this time.  I recently was informed that my best friend's mom wasn't doing so well and she discovered from a casual doctors appointment that there was a tumor in her brain and a mass in her lungs.  She underwent brain surgery 2 days later to remove the tumor, only to find out that the other mass was a result of stage 4 lung cancer.  My heart completely broke for both my best friend and for her mom.  They're two peas in a pod and I simply can't imagine one without the other.  Even though this is a terrible situation, I'm grateful for the amazing advancements in medical technology and medicine.  Without either, the doctors wouldn't have been able to discover the cancer or treat it in a way that will hopefully give her more time to enjoy life.

30) Electricity.  After the last one this doesn't exactly scream profound or thoughful, but without it we couldn't do jack squat!  We all rely on electricity for just about EVERYTHING these days!  Heck, even some of our cars run on it.  So I'm very thankful for the wonderful invention of electricity! :)

So there you have it ladies and gentlemen.  Even though November is over, I'm still constantly finding new things that I'm thankful for.  Today in particular (since I'm almost a week late posting this anyways) I'm thankful once again for our veterans.  More specifically, our WW2 vets who served after the terrible attack on Pearl Harbor.  We'd be lost without you.

Until next time when I have more exciting news to share (or have time to share it), take care of each other and enjoy your weekend!!! :)
