Inspired by my friend and blog buddy, Shelley, I have decided to make a list of 10 things that I am currently thankful for…some funny …some serious… and in no way listed in order of my gratitude and thankfulness…
1. Cadbury Crème Eggs
Sent from heaven. A treasured item before Easter. I simply can not walk by them in the store and not by one… I can only imagine that the person at Cadbury that came up with the crème egg is a large large woman that sits on the couch and eats them like tic tacs… either that or a extremely skinny wealthy man that laughs all the way to the bank at large women that sit on the couch and eat them like tic tacs (at the rate I am going… I will be such woman)
Matter of fact, my loving husband saw that they were in the stores by Valentines day and bought 8 of them for me as part of my gift… Gone in 2 days. sad.

2. The Fam… simply the greatest.
We have SO much fun together. Such a blessing to have them…
3. Blog Stalking
A new favorite past time… I would mention the ones that I stalk but then it seems the intrigue of truly “stalking” would be gone… and I would probably be embarrassed if I listed them and they were “stalking” my blog and read about my stalking them… I’m now rambling.
4. School
Although sad at the first time taking Brayden to a new school, school days are now precious commodities. School days seems to be on all the right days… such as the super whiny, over emotional, “Lord-please-help-me-so-I-don’t-kill-him days”
5 College Friends.
Who would have thought that 10 years removed, I would love these girls EVEN more than I did then? They are precious, precious to me. School loans for the next 10 years are totally worth it for these girls alone… Sounds kinda like I buy my friends ey? I'm ok with that.
6. Avery
One of before mentioned friends just had a premie baby girl 3 weeks ago… she way teeny. 2lbs 12oz. She is eating and growing like a champ and just hit the 4lb mark! Way to go Avery! Keep growing so you can go home! The first pic is Avery now ... and the other is at birth... she has grown so fast!!!

7. Laura aka “boss”
Laura has been my boss for the last 4 years. When I had Bryce, I tried to quit. Tony and I had decided that I would stay home full time. She convinced me to stay on and at least work when I could and allowed me an avenue to get out of the house if I needed to… She has given me tremendous flexibility to be a mom, and to also continue to work some. She has taught me so much about accounting, computer programs, and work/home balance. She also helped me set up Quickbooks when I initially started taking ‘at home’ clients. I understand that bosses like this are few and far between and I am SO grateful.
…AND she loves diet coke… that in itself makes her WAY cool…
8. Playdates/Parties/Playgrounds/Indoor Bounce parks etc…
aka sanity keepers and a chance to talk to adults.
9. Diet Coke
Just typing it makes me giddy. I’m in love.

In fact, I love diet coke so much that I am almost upset that in my quick websearch for a diet coke can, I could only find this 2 liter... It's def. not my diet coke of choice. I would prefer fountain, can, bottle and then if you must force it down me... a 2 liter.
10. Pottery Barn Discounts
A friend of ours works for PB and received a 40% discount… uh… yea… nice… We had a trip scheduled to the outlet where he receives 40% off the already almost 60% off discounted items… .uh….yea…nice… the trip has been postponed but I can’t wait…
Ok… a couple more…
11. Spring!
So hurry up and get here.

12. Elastic Pants
Reference #1 and most likely #9 as well
13. Vacations
None are currently planned but I would sure like one... Yes, we are going to Florida in April but refer to the following definitions..
Definitions...
Vacation: Trip with only hubby or with other adults that don't talk about poop 10 times a day.
Trip: A fun getaway with the entire family getting up at 7am everymorning, constant poop discussions, diaper changes, and wrestle matches.
Although, I do enjoy both... a vacation seems to be calling my name...

I am so touched that Avery is on your list...seriously, so touched. She loves you already because I tell her all about you! Can't wait for you to meet her!
You are awesome, Kel and i love your idea of the thankful list. You are part of mine.
i hear ya bout the vacation... I'm waiting for HGTV to knock on my door sometime today and tell me I won that vacation dream home in FL. They're announcing the winner live today. Maybe I should stay home tonight and wait for the knock. Cause I know I actually have a chance of winning it! ;) Boy, it would be nice though.
