Dreaming Since 1997

    Hello, reader! It's  Thankful Thursday ! This has to be my favorite post of the week to write. I love how my mood changes immediately when I start thinking about all the things to be grateful for. So, let's get happy!  1. We're going to a Halloween party this weekend! Even though I have to work, I'm looking forward to it! Thomas and I are going as Meg and Hercules (photos to come) 2. The wedding the weekend after that! OMG, I am so excited to see everyone and celebrate my cousin's wedding. I bought the cutest pair of shoes for the occasion, so I'm excited to wear them too.  3. Being off work today. I had a successful quiet time, walked the dogs, ordered groceries, and started laundry. I am feeling tired today, more than usual, but I still want to get some things done. I'm only off today and Tuesday before we fly to VA. I have a lot to do! 4. Christmas stuff in the stores. This is a hot take, I'm aware, but honestly, its joyful. Seeing pumpkins and re...

  Hello and welcome back! It is Thankful Thursday , and as you know, I believe that feeling happy begins with feeling thankful. So, let's get happy! 1. I am so thankful for a new month, with new goals. I have recently been contemplating and praying about some new ideas I have. They're very early in development, so much so that they aren't even a thing yet! We will see what happens! 2. Seeing my family in a few weeks! I can't wait to be together again for a joyous occasion! 3. Seeing my friends a couple weeks after that! Two of my very best friends from Danville VA will be staying with me for a few days! I haven't seen them in over a year. I miss them so much and can't wait to see them! 4. The Pentatonix Christmas album coming out in a few weeks! I love all of their holiday albums. Even though it's not even Halloween yet, I am genuinely thankful for this Christmas album coming out. As much as I love fall, I love Christmas just as much... maybe more.  5. Taylo...

   Hello readers! Probably just my mom and sister, but that's okay! For some crazy reason, I really enjoy typing up my little posts, adding some photos, and publishing it on the internet! Anway, today is  Thankful Thursday , and I gotta say, I love  Thankful Thursdays . I find these are my favorite posts to write. I truly am blessed. Listing out some random things that I'm thankful for always puts me in a great mood. I know I have a lot to pray about, but I think all prayers need to include thanksgiving to the One who gives! Alright, let's go! 1. I am thankful for my home. It's not the biggest, nicest home ever, but I love this place. It is my favorite place I've ever lived. It was built in the early 1950's (1951 I believe). It's simple but we have helped give it some character. I love our cozy rooms, and I love the deck and backyard area. Decorating it has been such a joyous project, and it's ongoing! I am always looking for ways to make the most of wh...

Good morning and welcome back! It is Thankful Thursday !!! I had a busy, busy, BUSY weekend. I didn't have time to get any posts edited or written up for that matter! Anway I am here today. I believe a happy heart starts with gratitude, so let's be happy today! 1. My 3 pets this morning. They have been extra cuddly and sweet.  2. I take my safety for granted. I'm truly grateful for the safe neighborhood and city I live in.  3. Work has been stressful lately, but I am grateful for my job. I love being able to make money for my household.  4. A fun weekend with Thomas' parents! I had one of the most fall Saturdays ever.  5. On my morning walks with the dogs, I usually try to call or facetime my granny.

I ordered a weighted vest to wear for my walks. It is bright pink and 8lbs. I ...

    Hello! It's  Thankful Thursday ! I am confident that happiness is a result of a thankful heart! So let's get happy! 1. My pets' vet. They are so sweet! I had to get Joey in last minute this morning because I completely forgot about his appointment last Friday! I still feel so awful about that, but the team at the office is so kind and understanding. They got us in right away today.  2. I love this time of year so much. I am so grateful for this new season. I am enjoying as much of it as I can this year!  3.

    Hello everyone! Today is my fourth wedding anniversary! I've been with Thomas for 14 years and now we've been married for 4 of those years. Time flies! I had so much fun at our wedding. I love looking back at our pictures and remembering all of the magic from the day. I wanted a fun wedding celebration, and it was such a dream come true.  We did everything we could to ensure all of our guests and wedding party felt as stress free as possible. I wanted it to be a fun weekend for everyone there.  I am grateful for the lovely memories I have now. I have beautiful pictures that one day my family will be able to look back through and enjoy.  We had a fun wedding weekend, followed by a fabulous honeymoon in Portsmouth NH. Yeah, we actually took our honeymoon here in Portsmouth, and then a year later decided to move up here. We truly love it here.  And in true Thankful Thursday fashion, I will now list some things I am so grateful for. Here you go! 1. My darl...

  Good morning, everyone! I know it has been a while since you've heard from me. Almost a month ago, my dear uncle died unexpectedly of a heart attack at the young age of 45. This has devastated my family. Please pray for peace and comfort. We know he was saved and is now in the heavenly kingdom.  It is Thursday after all, so let's get into another Thankful Thursday post, shall we?  In no particular order: My health. I try not to take it for granted. I want to take care of my body and mind so that I can live a healthy life.  This perfect relaxing morning has been such a treat. It is just what I needed. It's just the pets and me. I started a load of laundry while my latte was brewing, had a great quiet time, and now I'm back on my blog. The weather dropped a couple days ago here in Portsmouth, and we have our windows opened. It's still nice out, but there is a crispness in the air... perfect.  My husband is always wonderful and dreamy, but he really came through...

Hello friends! I decided that in order to keep consistency with this blog, I will do a weekly Thankful Thursday post. This will be about anything that I am thankful for. I believe that happiness starts with a thankful heart, so this will be a great way to increase positivity and keep things in perspective for us. So, without further ado, I will share what I am thankful for this week! Getting my hair done today! I LOVE getting my hair done. I have the best hair girl in Portsmouth! She always does such a great job and we have the best conversation. One thing about me, I am a girls' girl. I can usually strike up a decent conversation with almost any girl. I believe we girls need to stick together! Getting our pool up; Yall, this pool... I am so thankful it is almost over. We have worked so hard on it. I can't wait to enjoy it next weekend when I'm off work.  Talking to my granny more this week. I love my family. I miss them. Ever since I moved to NH, I feel so much more mysel...
