10 on the Tenth

I can never get my act together long enough to join in on Meredith's 10 on the Tenth post, but thought I would today.

Here are 10 things I'm enjoying right now ...

1) Fall temperatures!!! It's no secret how much I love fall! I love the colors, the smells and the cooler weather. I am so much happier this time of year :) We have been having some much cooler temperatures and it feels great. It makes me want to break out the soup recipes ;)

2) My girls' school. I've said it many times, but it's worth repeating. I am so thankful to have such a peaceful, Spirit-filled place to send my children. At times, it's difficult to know God's will for our lives and such a relief when we know we are where we should be at that moment. That's how I feel about the school. God may move us one day or change our direction, but I am thankul for where He has us at this particular time.

3) My running shoes. In the past, I thought it was insane to spend a lot on running shoes (or any shoes for that matter). But, with permanent foot problems now, I am in love with my shoes that don't leave me wanting to crawl home.

4) Candy Corn. I anticipate this candy coming out in stores. I have always loved it!

5) Skype. With Eric traveling more and more, the girls are able to talk to him via Skype and it has been such a blessing.

This picture is of the girls talking with their Daddy last night while he was in Massachusetts. E was able to 'show' him her school project instead of just describing it on the phone. We also bowed our heads and closed our eyes together for bedtime prayers. It is just the neatest thing for these Daddy's girls to actually SEE their Daddy before they go to sleep. (I like it a whole lot, too ;)

6) Tylenol PM. When Eric travels, I have the hardest time sleeping. Actually, I have a hard time all the time, but more so when he's away. Tylenol PM is my friend!

7) Reruns of Friends. I finally had the insight to DVR old episodes of Friends (told you I'm slow). Anyway, every night I watch it before I go to bed and laugh like crazy. Good medicine. I feel like I've been reunited with an old .... ummmm ... well, Friend ;) ha!

8) Cinnamon rolls. Stop the madness! I've had them every day this week (and then skipped lunch :) I'm addicted. What's weird is I never used to like them. I'm going to try to make these this weekend. It's becoming an illness, really.

9) My blanket. Quite honestly, it's no different than any other time. It's just really dear to my heart ;)

10) My thirties!!!!!!!!!!! Today I turn 39!

THIRTY NINE!

Unbelievable.
