I'm back!

So we meet again...

I know, I know. I've been gone for awhile. Although I really wish that I could have been blogging this entire time, I'm not going to apologize. I've been living life the way I need to.

Now, though, I'm ready to come back! I've definitely missed blogging and have thought about this little page almost every day. Though I don't have any followers, I find blogging to be incredibly therapeutic, and I look forward to it every day.

Since I've been gone... not much has happened. Not much to blog about, at least! We are loving life with a kitten (which has quickly turned into life with a cat! She grew up so fast!). She is equally sweet and rotten, and I just can't get enough of her. :)

I'm also graduating soon! I've been working like crazy to finish up my classwork and work on my teaching portfolio. The problem is- the closer I get to graduation, the harder it is to drag my lazy self out of bed in the mornings!

Husband and I celebrated our 6-month anniversary! We didn't really have the time or money to do anything fancy, so we stayed at home, ate Oreo ice cream, and watched a Harry Potter movie. We also decorated our apartment for Christmas for the first time! It was so fun! I'll be sure to post pictures soon (as in, as soon as the apartment is presentably clean)!

I think that about covers my month... unfortunately, now I need to write a paper that's due TOMORROW. Eek!

30 Days of Thanks

Happy November!

It is officially the Christmas Season, and it is absolutely my favorite time of the year! November is about being thankful, and December is focused on family and friends (and, this year, GRADUATION)! I know many other bloggers are doing 30 Days of Thanks, and I want to jump on the bandwagon. What better way to display thanks than to write about it for the whole world to see?

On day 1, I'd like to focus on the person I am most thankful for- my husband. He is one of the most wonderful souls I have ever met. He cares for me more than I ever imagined anyone could. He blesses me tremendously with the small things he does. Here's a few, just for reference:

1. Two days ago, he paid for my snack attack at the store.
2. Monday, when I was at work, he brought me a pumpkin spice latte. I didn't even ask for it!
3. When I came home from work Monday, he had made the bed, put in a load of laundry, and mopped the kitchen floor.
4. He said yes... to a kitten! (More on that in a second.)

I am so grateful that he chose me to be his lifelong partner. I can't imagine living without him!

(Ok... mushy gushy time is over!)

Here's an update on the kitty situation! On Monday, Husband agreed to let me get a cat. Obviously, I was all over Craigslist that night. I found a precious cat that I fell in love with, but after emailing the owner, I found out she has fleas. Unfortunately, we can't deal with fleas. I kept looking and found the sweetest-looking kitty I have ever seen! I called last night about her, and went to pick her up today!  Introducing... Leia!

 The woman I got her from, who rescues cats for a living, said that she was found in a cardboard box that was thrown over the fence of an apartment complex. People can be so awful! I can't imagine anyone being so cruel to this sweet little thing. She is 10 weeks old and just the most snuggly kitten I have ever met! She wasn't a fan of the car ride, but after we got home, she wouldn't leave my lap! I am absolutely in love! She is another thing I am grateful for... there's 2 in one day! 

What are you thankful for?
