too cute!

This is too cute to not share...

NC and I were in the car and we were talking about Thanksgiving

...what it means, why we celebrate it

and I started telling her things I am thankful for.

Then I asked her what she is thankful for...

and she said, " ummm..."

1. Milk

2. Zoo Babies

3. mommy

{I made the top three!}

Anyway, I pray that someday she makes the connection between how awesome it is that God provides constantly and faithful for our needs {like milk}

and God's grace is seen through amazing creation {like zoo babies!}

Hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving...

its the little things

It's beginning to look a lot like...

I have been studying and studying...and I cannot get my mind off CHRISTMAS!

I long for the day I can trade in my Pharmacology book for Christmas Carols
and early mornings of studying for long nights of wrapping presents

I have four more weeks of school and they cannot come soon enough

Nursing school is hard {not that I wasn't expecting it to be}
but I think the hardest thing about it is wanting to do other things but stuck studying
I have to keep reminding myself it is worth it, it is!

I did get to do something Christmasy today
Joe and I have been married for 6 years and we have never hung Christmas lights
{not my choice}
Well today...I did it, with my parents help, while Joe is at work!

It was soo fun, I cannot wait for it to get dark to see how it looks!

So despite school, Christmas is on its way!
I personally cannot wait!

just another manic monday

Today was crazy....as usual.

...But I just had to take some time away from studying {as if I need any encouragement} to tell you about my new FAVORITE show on HGTV.

It's called:Her name is Sarah of course.
The premise of the show is she finds a house that needs renovating and each episode she is fixing up a different room in the house.

I love it because her taste is exquisite.
I believe she is in her 3rd season.
I have seen parts of Season 2 when she fixed up a house from the 60's.
This was my favorite room in that house, the living room.
I love the soft colors and the hint of crystal and class.
As we are redoing our den upstairs this room has been in the back of my mind the entire time.
How cute are those little benches.

The third season she is renovating a farmhouse.
It makes me want to move to the country {again} and live life in an old beautiful house.
She added onto the house and all of the episodes I have seen I have loved.
This is the bathroom she redid today on the show.
Those sinks were dressers they found and turned them into sinks...
I am totally doing that someday!

Anyway...keep your eyes peeled to HGTV and check out "Sarah's House".
