I have a friend. Well really she is more like a sister, and she has impacted my life in more ways than she will ever know. Her name is Mandie Joy...(or to a special few "Auntie Joy")
I am stealing her "Capture Gratitude" idea and starting my own personal thread. This is a weekly promise to post 10 things I am grateful for each week...
I hope to add some additional blog posts throughout the week, but for those who know me (and my blog history)...baby steps....we will start here :)
So here goes nothing...
1. My amazingly awesome family...
2. Starbucks Chai latte with my middle name :)
3. Late night projects that require using power tools and trips to Lowes with my brothers that result in countless memories and hours of FUN!
...(ladder golf)...
and
...(cornhole)
4. A beautiful best friend and roomie of 3 years getting engaged to her (second) best friend...the future Dr. Courtney Haseldon
(Luke you will never beat me in the race for the position of Courtney's best friend)
5. Puzzles with my family...
6. Whipped cream fights with my grandparents...they're the best!
7. Dancing with my Daddy in the backyard...SHAG dancing of course
oh you know...then add a little flip here and there...
8. Playing fetch with Dakota (our chocolate lab) on the beach at sunset
annnnd Scout...my Grandaddy's yellow lab joined us for the weekend...(we are a lab family)
9. Having brothers who love me enough to take me duck hunting at 5am...
10. Serving a God who places His mighty hand of protection around a car so that I can live to tell the end of this story...(more to come on this later)
