Thanksgiving

I don't often post without pictures, but I just want to express my thankfulness this year. Not that I haven't been thankful in years before, but I just want to tell you how thankful and happy I am. Something I am working on in my life is to see the cup half-full compared to half-empty. I don't enjoy thinking that way, so I am trying to change my attitude!

*I am so thankful for my salvation and relationship with Christ. I am so easily sidetracked and overwhelmed with the busyness of life that I often take advantage of the gift I have been given- thanks to a wonderful Christian home and family that helped lead me to Christ.

*I am so thankful for my husband of four years. Not only is he gorgeous, his insides are beautiful and he is truly an amazing husband. I love how we know each other so well and have a bond no one else can fill. I love that he is Godly and desires to lead me and our family in the same way. He's such a great father to Adam and such a great husband to me.

*I am so thankful for my beautiful son. I have only been a mother a few months, but it is such a remarkable experience to have, and for that I am so thankful. I am so thankful to the Lord that my pregnancy and delivery went so well. I think over and over again how blessed I was to have the perfect delivery that I prayed for and planned for. Thank you Lord! I love our son so much and can't wait to see him grow and hope to help him be thankful also.

*I am so thankful for a beautiful home that will be more beautiful someday... :)

*I am so thankful that we can pay our bills and know we will be taken care of. We both have great jobs that treat us very well. As much as I yearn and pray for something else to be able to stay home, I am thankful I have a job when a lot of people don't have jobs right now, and it is a job that works with me and our schedule.

*I am so thankful for my parents and Amos' parents that have stayed married. It's such a good thing that often isn't the case anymore.

*I am so thankful for my siblings and their spouses. I have to say, my two sisters (and Mom of course) are my best friends. After being with my sisters this weekend I was reminded of how much I love them and how much I enjoy being with them. As they would probably agree, I act a little different around them, meaning I laugh and act a little weirder than normal. It's fun to do that every once and a while. Anyway, I am so thankful I have them as my best confidants and loyal supporters. I love you girls!

* I am thankful that I have a future that is promised, secure, and exciting. I look forward to what will happen, and so look forward to my eternity with Jesus. I love that I have future that is promised. So exciting!

Dining Room Done... For Right Now....

Here are some pictures of our finished dining room. Well, besides windows,floor, and a much needed new table which will happen some day. I'm just excited to get one room done. We're happy how it turned out.

Cast your vote!

We finally got our dining room painted!!!

One room half-way done, about a dozen more to go! :)

I have had several color choices that I couldn't decide on for the life of me, then Amos and I found a color that we both liked and we did it. It wasn't even a color we were interested in at the beginning.

Which one do you think it is??????

Here are some before shots of our dining room. Boring and ugly!

Next week all my siblings and parents come to town, and I am overly excited. I haven't seen Ruthann since May when Adam was born and I haven't seen the Johnson's since August. They are coming for a wedding that my Dad is doing and Ruthann is a bridesmaid/Thanksgiving. I am hosting all the Hamby kids and their spouses, and Micah of course. It will be so much fun having a house full. We have a lot of cleaning and prepping to do still, hopefully it will all get done!

I'm sure I will have a lot of pictures to post.

Until next time!

Okay, I will give you a snapshot of what color we did. It made the room much darker and very cozy, which we wanted. I will post more pictures soon after I decorate and get the finished project.

Adam is bad! :)

Adam is bad.... I turned around to get his food off the counter and he had very quickly grabbed some bread from the bowl and helped himself to eating it. It made me laugh that he would think to do that because he has never eaten normal food! He must learn a lot from us. So cute.

I love being a mom!!
