Thankful Thursdays!

Today I am joining Krystal & Kristen in Thankful Thursdays! All you gotta do is tell 5 things you are thankful for this week. I'm all for that! It's good to focus on the positives sometimes. :)

Dinner with my BFF last night. Yay! My BFF & I have such busy lives, but i love it when we make it a point to spend time together! We can talk for HOURS. Last night we met at Portabello's, a delicious italian restaurant, & had so much fun catching up. Love that girl! :)

My sister. She has come such a long way since her divorce a few years ago. She sent us an autobiographical essay thingie she had to write for school & i was so proud of her reading it. Divorce is TOUGH, but sometimes you can still come out smiling. I asked her if i could post her story to give encouragement to friends who have been through this - & she said yes! So that is coming soon. :)

The upcoming weekend. I am so excited, it is going to be great! Saturday morning i am meeting my friend Becca for breakfast... another dear friend that i miss spending time with! We will talk & catch up & i can't wait. After that, Brad & I will be heading out to Natchitoches to spend the night at a cute place called The Church Street Inn. Our friends Tim & Marion got lead roles in their school's production of CHICAGO & we are going to see them in it! I cannot wait! :)

I am feeling very healthy lately. I have been at this weightloss journey for over a year now & i have lost 23 pounds. Though that doesn't sound like much to some, i am very happy & proud. I am not sure if i would have developed some of these good habits if i had not taken it slowly. This week (despite a pulled muscle in my upper back/neck!), I am feeling healthy & in control of my eating & exercise habits. :) Yay!

It is soooo important to find a doctor you love & that happened for me this week! I didn't like the obgyn i went to last year, so i tried a new one this year...and my appointment was Monday. She was awesome & i am so thankful to have found "the one"! Haha!

You should play along! You can do that here!
