Simple Things

I like to think of myself as a happy person. I love to be happy and I hope everyone loves to be or wants to be happy. This past week, with preparing for Thanksgiving and the holiday season I've tried to come up with a list of things I'm grateful for. This list actually made me realize how happy I am and that you can find happiness in the simplest things.
An example of this is I just got new bedding and it is like my favorite thing in the whole world. Who knew that new bedding could make somebody so happy? It may sound funny but I think being able to pick out something new and completely different than what you are use to has it perks. Don't get me wrong, I liked my old one but I felt like it wasn't me, anymore. I didn't actually get to have the chance to get my own for my husband and I when we first got married. My sweet sister-in-laws actually had the key to our apt. when we first got married and were on our honeymoon. They brought all of our wedding gifts home. I thought that was amazing, but it didn't stop there. They actually put most everything away and made our home feel like a home. We didn't have our bedding or bathroom stuff. They went out and bought a new bathroom and bedding set. I think they did an amazing job knowing our colors and our taste. Anyways besides the point, I just wanted a new bedset. Ours was quickly fading , plus being in a small place doesn't allow you to do too much with decorating and all that. I think after almost 4 years its time for a change. I started with the bedroom. And i'm totally in love with the new bedding. Its completely different than what we had. I just think its amazing how the smallest things can make people feel happy. I know its totally random but oh well. Happy Holidays everyone!

Random November

Hey everyone!
This entry is totally random, but I thought since I have some free time I can come up with an entry. Nothing new is happening yet. I can't believe its already November. I'm so not ready for winter weather but I guess its too late. For me, this is the first snowfall of the year. I was in Iowa when the first one actually came. I have to admit though that its beautiful. I just hate driving in it. Its been kind of fun being here in our office where its nice and warm watching the storm come and go today. I just hope it doesn't continue. I've been thinking today, nothing really new, that this is the month of Thanksgiving. I love this time of year. We have a lot to be thankful for and to be honest a lot of us probably don't think much about it til now. I think I'll end this post on some of the things i'm most thankful for in my life. I'm thankful for my family, especially my husband. I couldn't ask for a better husband. I'm thankful for my religion and for the savior in my life. I'm happy to have the knowledge that families are forever. I'm grateful for our freedom. My list can go on and on but you get the idea. Anyways I hope you all have a Happy November! Enjoy the holiday season.
