f is for

october was such an anticipated month of great times and it was so busy. but where did it go? i can't believe it is already november 7. loved the extra hour of sleep last night but not loving the early darkness. we were ready for bed by 7:00 tonight. i wish i had the energy to recap our weekend because it was a really good one. my best friend from atlanta and her husband came for the day yesterday and spent the night last night. what a fun time. pb and her husband played golf and we got to spend the day doing what we love to do...shop a little, track down the latest and greatest j. crew find that she had found (i had to have one too), talk about our kids growing up too fast, drink some wine, talk more, watch the new gwyneth video on youtube...we love her, check out more must-have items on the laptop, and just laugh the entire time. then we had an amazing dinner of steak tacos and homemade guacamole and dessert by the fire on the patio. a completely content night. embarrassingly enough, we were all 4 ready for bed by 10:00...or would that be 9:00 according to the time change? a full day so a welcome great night's sleep. we enjoyed coffee with them this morning. i want to share all of our great finds and new product must-haves, but i am about to fall asleep. will post them tomorrow.

but before i shut it down...i have decided for the month of november to post one thing every day, that i am thankful for in life. it may be something small or it may be something huge. but i will pick one thing each day. today i am thankful for my family...
for pb..for all that he does and is and means to me. i love you. for wil and em...you both fill my heart with more love than it feels capable of containing. for my parents...their constant and steady love and support for me and my family and all that we do. it means more than you know. i'm thankful for my sister....so looking forward to some time together this month. for my grandmother...not many of my friends still have a grandparent living. i need more time with you. for gk and lizzie...what an amazing family addition for wil, em and me. you are such a big part of our lives.
i am thankful for all of these family members and more. we don't say it enough but i realize how fortunate we are to have each other and these unique relationships. at the end of the day, so glad i have you all.
