Ryan and Megan!

I am so, so, so excited about this post!  My wonderful brother-in-law, Ryan, got engaged last Sunday!!  They went hiking and he proposed while they were up there and then we all went to dinner that night (Richie and I and his parents and her parents and one of her sisters, and of course the newly engaged couple!)  They have been dating for a while now, so we have all been waiting for it to happen and I am so thrilled for the two of them!  I am very thankful for my brother-in-law Ryan, who is a very caring, strong guy and I am am beyond happy that he has found someone to spend the rest of his life with.  I am also very thankful for mine and Richie's soon-to-be new sister-in-law Megan!!  :) Yay!!!!

"crush" on my husband

So I came across this adorable idea on someone's facebook and did it as a random surprise for Richie after going to the grocery store.  I bought a bottle of the soda Crush and just wrote on it "I have a CRUSH on you."  Super cheesy, I know, but I feel like in a marriage sometimes you need to do those cheesy little things!  He thought it was cute and thoroughly enjoyed his orange soda this week.  I am thankful for the fact that after 3 1/2 years of marriage, I do still have "crush" on my husband!

shrimp quesadillas

I love, love, love Mexican food.  We went to a Mexican restaurant near our house, Cheeky's, with some friends last Friday (yes, I am that far behind on my posts) and I had the yummiest dinner.  I had a shrimp, spinach, and mushroom quesadilla.  Absolutely delicious!  I am thankful for shrimp quesadillas and a night out with friends!

Groundhog's Day

I am way behind again, hence why I am just now thankful for Groundhogs Day! Such a silly holiday to be thankful for, I know, but let me give you my reason.  While I love "winter gear" (boots, coats, and scarves), I really don't like being cold all that much.  So, I love the optimism that Groundhog;s Day can bring when he doesn't see his shadow and I can see Spring in the very near future!  As I told my students this year, the national groundhog did see his shadow, but our GA one didn't, so I am going to stick with him.  Here we come, Spring!

Spirit Day

The first school day of the month is Spirit Day, which means we can wear jeans and a Creek View shirt or Creek View colors.  I am thankful for spirit days and the chance to be casual in the middle of the week every now and then!

Monogram Necklace

I love all things monogram. I have been wanting a monogram necklace for a while now, but it wasn't something that I was going to just go out and get for myself.  I was completely shocked to get one from my parents for Christmas (especially since we weren't supposed to be doing Christmas gifts since we were going skiing!)  I am pretty sure I have worn it every single day (with the exception of maybe 3) since I got it because I love it so much and it goes with absolutely everything!  I am thankful for my adorable monogram necklace!

"Our house is blessed..."sign

While we were in Breckenridge, I saw a little sign that was absolutely perfect for my house!  If you know Richie and I, you know that Wrigley is our baby, so as soon as I saw this sign in a store, I knew I had to get it!

I am thankful for this cute little sign and for the fact that it makes me smile every time I see it!
