Thankful Thursdays!

So todays post is going to be a quick one. I have been really busy and enjoyed a night out with my husband :)

So here is what I am thankful for today..

I am thankful for my job. I complain about it sometimes and I need to be reminded that I am so thankful to have a job. It may not be the job of my dreams, but its a great first job. I get to work with wonderful Christian people and even though it's early mornings and long days, I am very thankful!

I am thankful for football! Ha! I love love love football and can't wait to cheer on our razorbacks this season! GO HOGS! Check out my new shirt I bought :)

I am thankful that Bella is now potty trained! Haha. That was a stressful couple of weeks, but (knock on wood) I think were finally there!!

And last, I am thankful for date nights with my husband! A simple dinner and some time together can be so uplifting. Both of us have been so busy lately, it's good to set aside time to just spend with each other. Ever since we started dating our freshman year, we would always take one day/night of the week and get out of shawnee and just have dinner or go do something! It was so refreshing and we have continued that tradition while we've been married! it has brought us closer and it always gives us something to look forward to! Tonight's agenda was one of my favorite restaurants.. Marketplace!

So what are y'all thankful for??

That's all for today! I hope y'all have a wonderful Friday and a safe weekend! Also, I thought I had posted pictures on my last post of Katie's wedding, but I guess I forgot- so they're up now!! 

Top 5 and update!

Well it's been a few days, but I promise I'm trying to blog more. By the time I get home from work, puppy class and cook dinner.. Blogging is the last thing on my mind ha!

So today is my first post on the top 5 challenge and todays is top 5 vacation spots! I thought this was an appropriate one to pick since we are about to go on our vacation!!

But before I leave you with my top 5 favorite vacations spots I will give you a short update on us!

Last weekend, we went to Tulsa for my friend katies wedding. 

We had planned on going to Tulsa Friday, but decided to just hang out at home.

We grilled out steaks and enjoyed a night at home with Bella!

We got up EARLY Saturday morning and took Bella to the kennel. We could of taken her, but we wanted to try this place out before we left her there for 10 days while we are on our cruise.

We then made the 4 1/2 hour drive to Enid! We made it there by 12 and we met up with some OBU friends and had lunch! It was so nice to see everyone again. It had too way too long.

After the wedding we drove backup to Tulsa and had dinner with Peter and Libby at Los Cabos.

Sunday afternoon we played a round of golf! We both havent played in about a month, so I was a little worried, but I ended up shooting my best score yet! I was really excited :)

Friday night we met up with Will, Michelle and some other friends for yogurt! Yum!

 The rest of the week we are both working and trying to prepare Bella for her big puppy test/graduation next week!

TOP 5 VACATION SPOTS

1. Jamaica

Mitch took me here for our honeymoon and it was the most beautiful place! I immediately fell In love with the people and the atmosphere.  We went to Ocho Rios, so we not only had the exotic tropical feel, but our resort was in the St Ann mountains... it was so pretty! We had our own little cottage and I would highly recommend it!

2. Cruises

We are about 10 days out from our cruise! I have been on one before and really enjoyed it. I love that you have so much to do on the ship and you get to see multiple places. This trip we are going to Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Jamaica!!

3. Colorado

As you can probably tell I like hot beach vacations, but there is something magical about Colorado! It is so pretty and I never pass up a trip in the winter or summer!

*now these last two are places I have never been but they are number 1 and 2 on my list to visit!

4. NYC

I have always dreamed of going to new York! All my friends say I would love it!

5. Hawaii

Once again, never been but, I mean it's Hawaii- who wouldn't want to go there! Beautiful beaches, weather and golf!

Hope you enjoyed the vacation spots! Mitch, Michelle, Will and I are taking one vacation together a year so we are always up for suggestions!

Have a blessed week!

Thankful Thursdays

So lately I have been pretty bored with blogging. I feel like I don't have much time and just try to find stuff to ramble on about, so.... I have decided to do this blog challenge I came across.

The challenge is to actually blog straight for 30 days and well.. we all know that will not happen, so I changed it up a little. I found this random blog and it had a challenge to blog every day for 30 days and it was called the top 5 challenge. I am going to do the top 5 challenge, but I will just do it whenever I have time to blog. So it is technically not a challenge.. but whatever :)

He gives 30 different topics to blog about and I am going to try and cover as many as I can, some are kind of weird, so I may not do all 30! Also, Tuesdays and Thursdays are going to be a little different. I am going to link up with some other blogs I have been enjoying reading and do Top 10 Tuesday and Thankful Thursdays. It will be something new and then on the other days I will continue my top 5 "challenge".

I am really excited because I will always have something to blog about, well at least for the next month or so :) I am so bad about trying to make our blog interesting, so hopefully this will help. So if any of you are in the same boat as me, feel free to join me on my top 5 challenge. I like having something to look forward to blogging about!

So today is Thankful Thursday.... and I have a feeling I am going to love this day. Its always good to be reminded about what we are thankful for. So today....

I am thankful for my family. I have been so blessed with an amazing family and can't wait to see them all this weekend!

I am thankful for weekends.. ha! I have had the most stressful couple weeks at work, I honestly didn't know I could be this stressed. Weekends are so relaxing and not to mention I get to see all my OBU friends THIS  weekend! Did I mention I love weekends!! :)

I am thankful for my dog! She brings so much joy to us and I just love spending as much time with her as I can!

And last but not least, I am thankful for a husband that does such sweet things for me. Since work has been crazy and he knows how stressed I have been... I came home to this today...

It made my night!! He knows just how to turn a bad day into a good one! :)

So what are y'all thankful for?

Have a happy Friday and  wonderful weekend!!
