Welcome to Thankful Thursday - October 13, 2011

Hello Sweet Friends,

So how are you??? 

I am doing well, missing my online 

buddies, but it has been another busy 

but fun week.

I will tell you about it again, same way as last week,

 as I go thru my thankful list.  Hope you don't mind,

just trying to accomplish as much now as I can,

so I am not stressed out at the end.

#1

I am thankful

that Dee and Jerry got off this morning for their

destination Wedding,  they left about 5:30 a.m.,

and  I got an email when she was in the Miami

airport waiting to depart again.  They are so

excited,  about the Wedding,  the place they are

 staying and the whole adventure.  We are gonna

 get a text when they get to their destination.

  The wedding is tomorrow around 4:30,  that is

 island time from what we understand. It is

don't worry, be happy territory,  so they are 

never in a hurry....................lol

Lots of people told them, don't wait till you are

starving to go to dinner,  cause you probably

want get your food for an hour or so.

#2

I am thankful

that we got to spend a few days with her before

she left.  It was great having her here in her old

room one last time as a single girl.

Hard to wrap my mind around the fact,  she

will come home a married woman, but very
exciting all at the same time.

#3

I am thankful

for cameras and video cameras especially,

so that we will at least get to watch the big event

on tape.  We plan to view it at the reception,

so if you feel impressed,  please pray that

guy does a great job with the video, and that

they can get it before they leave there.

#4

I am thankful

we got Dee all moved in to their new apt.

even tho it was raining the whole day.

Scott and Megan helped too.  My job is

usually to take care of Rosie, cause when 

my son lived in Gainesville, he had a neighbor

that was moving,  and she had a very small

dog,  a yorkie I think it was,  and  the lil dog got

 under the guy's feet while he was carrying  some-

thing heavy and couldn't see her,  and he stepped

on her and and killed her instantly.  He must have

felt horrible.  So every since we heard that story

we are very careful with Rosie.  So I pretty much

carry her around the whole time and my arms

have been sore for days. 

She is in perfect condition tho!!  lol

#5

I am thankful 

that by Sunday they already had  most of their boxes

 emptied, and the place looking pretty homey, and 

we just moved them on Saturday. They have a 2 Bedroom,

2 bath condo with a loft as well.  It has very high ceilings,

and is very modern looking.  Think she is gonna let me

take some pics for yall when she gets it finished.

 They left their bed and bathroom to do for when they

 get back,  so they can both enjoy decorating it,  and the

 newness of it all.  She was gonna wait and do everything

when they got back,  but I think they will be so glad they

 didn't cause this way it will be very nice not to come

 home to a big mess.

#6

I am thankful

that she set up appts. for just she and I to go and

get a pedicure and manicure together yesterday,

her treat,  to thank me for all the wedding plans I

made before. Then we went to lunch at Panera. 

 That was my first time to go there,  so I enjoyed

 that very much,  then hung out at their new place

and watched HGTV. I really needed a down day 

and some special time alone with her,  so that

 was such a blessing to me.

Then hubby came at 6 p.m. and we all went to

 dinner together at Longhorn steakhouse.  

Everything was delicious,  and we had a nice

time,  then it was time to bid them Farewell....

and go home.

#7

I am thankful

for God's peace and joy about this situation

of them going away,  altho I would be lying

if I didn't say I am a lil sad to not be there,  but in

 my heart, I know this is the best for them,  and that 

the wedding only last a few hours,  the marriage

is much more important,  and I think they are really

 so much more prepared than before..............

so definitely thrilledl about that!!

#8

I am thankful

we found some new blinds for our porch

that we have needed,  but are not always

easy to find, as the old ones wouldn't roll

up or down anymore!

#9

I am thankful

that I found the candy I needed for some

lil cute favor boxes I am doing for the

reception.

#10

I am thankful

Rosie is staying with us while the newlyweds are 

honeymooning....she is always as happy to be here

 as we are to have her here.

#11

I am thankful

that they are having a nice long honeymoon, as

ours was very short,  and we always told our kids

2 things not to scrimp on.....the honeymoon,  and

pictures.  They will be a week in one place and

4 days in another.  So they should have a ball.

#12

I am thankful

that we just heard from Dee and they have 

made it to their destination safe and sound.

God is good!!

#13

I am thankful

we will get to spend some time with Scott

and Megan having fun this weekend.

If this list seems a lil weighted

 towards DeeAnna and Jerry, that has 

truly been my week, 

 so.........just telling it like it is!!  lol

Thanks so much for coming by to visit,

always love hearing from you. In a few

 weeks things will be back to normal.  

Wanted to show you my white living room

 this week, but just didn't have time to edit

 the pics, so maybe next week..............

You have a fantastic weekend full of lots

of Fall Fun.

Love, Hugs,

and Sunny Fall Blessings,

Nellie
