Top 5: Thankful List

Hey Y'all!

 

It is time. Thanksgiving is just over a week away, so I thought it was time to be a little mushy and let you know the Top 5 things that I am thankful for.

Family

(My Mom, Me and Ken)

(My Brother, Me and My Dad)

I love my family. My parents are awesome and I'm lucky to have a great relationship with each of them. My brother, Brandon, and I didn't go up in the same household and we are 8 years apart, but as I have gotten older I am very grateful for him and our relationship. Ken is probably my favorite person in the world and my best friend. Above everything else I have in my life, my family is the best and I am so thankful that I have them to be there for me.

 

 My Job

Towards the end of the college I started to panic about what I was going to do with my career. I majored in English Literature and minored in Religious Studies...yeah, not a lot of choices. So during my junior year I started an internship with a wedding coordinating company and I fell in love with the event industry. I didn't care what part is was, I loved it all. So I finished my internship and stayed with the coordinating company for another 6 months. During that time an awesome opportunity came up to work for an amazing hotel that I love. So I took it. And now I get to work with an incredible hotel and see pretty events every weekend. It's perfect for me.

 

My puppies

So they aren't actually puppies anymore, but they will always be puppies to me. The one on the left is April (13 years old, 14 in January!) who I get as a birthday present when I was 10. The one on the right is Jaidyn (2 years old, 3 in February) who I get as a birthday present when I was 21. I love them both and they bring me lots of joy. They each have very different personalities and I am uber thankful for them.

 

Texas

More specifically - where I live. I love the part of Texas that I call home. I love that if I want to go to the beach its only a 30 minute drive or if I want to be in a big city its only a 30 minute drive. Also, thanks to my dad, I can hop on a sail boat and be in the middle of the Gulf. I also love that my area has a small town feel without actually being a tiny town.

 

Harry Potter

Y'all knew this was coming right? As many of you know, I love Harry Potter. I love that I grew up with Harry Potter. I am thankful that any time I feel sad or upset I can put on a Harry Potter movie or pick up one of the books and I can escape into an amazing world that will brighten my day.

 

Well thats what I am thankful for, what about you?

Top 5: Things about Fall

I pretty much love all seasons and I get equally excited for each one. These are my Top 5 favorite things about Fall.

 

Pumpkins:

 

I adore everything pumpkin. First of all just look at them. I love the colors and different shapes. I love the classic pumpkin pie, pumpkin spiced lattes, pumpkin pudding, pumpkin pastries and pumpkin truffles. I also love their smell and I love making my whole house smell like pumpkins candles. I even enjoy roasting pumpkin seeds after the kid in me carves one just for fun.

 

Coziness:

Fall is all about being cozy to me. Cozy sweaters, comfy jeans, hoodies and wrapping up in a warm blanket while drinking tea. I love wearing soft sweaters and cardigans. 

Football:

  Oh football. Football is king in Texas. I love watching games while wearing my teams colors and eating wings. 

 

Food:

 

  Food is the fall is the best. Chili, Tortilla Soup, and Pot Roast - Oh my!

The Holiday Season Begins:

 

The holidays finally come back around the fall. First Halloween comes and I love to decorate my house and watch the 13 nights of Halloween on ABC family. Then Thanksgiving comes and it's time to cook and eat until hearts content (and my stomach is exploding) while watching another fall favorite - football. Plus I love Thanksgiving because it reminds me to be thankful not just for what I have but also the family I spend the day with. 

Those are my Fall Favorites. What are yours?
