Thankful Thursday V.5 | take-hart | so take heart, cause you know that you have mine. ♥

Aug 26, 2010

This week has been a pretty great one- can’t think of anything to complain about! But here we are again with one day left in the work week, headed into a wonderful weekend! And as I mentioned in my last post- we’ve got a pretty busy weekend scheduled involving dressing up and dancing the night away on a river boat cruise! Unfortunately this will be our last weekend in Cincinnati as we’ve known it for quite some time. Jackson and Kristie are moving and we wont be seeing them near as much. I’m sad, but- I’m thankful for all of the great times we’ve had with them there in Cincinnati! And now, we’re going to add one last great memory to the list! Can’t wait to make more in their new city, even if it is further away!

So this week I’m thankful for:

True Friendships

(some of my true friends, heeyyy.. obviously i had them in my wedding)

There are certain people in your life that you know you’ll always be friends with regardless of how often you talk or see each other. And when you get together you can have fun lounging on the couch or out and about having a great time. You can sort of grow apart for a while.. and then come back together when you need it most. And I love this- it’s genuine friendship. I used to kind of think of friendship as something that needed to be held onto very tightly, maybe due to a fear of losing people in my life. But more recently, as I’ve experienced some of that growing apart and growing closer again aspect- I sort of see it differently now. Instead of holding on for dear life, it’s just better to let go- and let it breathe. If it’s real, it isn’t going to go anywhere. =) I’m so thankful for my true friends- both here and in Florida!

The Smell Of Fall In The Air

I know I’ve talked about being thankful for Fall and how close we are to it- but today- I walked out of work and it smelled like Fall and I had to suppress the urge to dance through the parking lot to my car. There was a cool breeze and it just .. smelled like Fall! It’s hard to explain. But, today was the first day I’ve experienced that so I am definitely thankful! Yay! =)

Little Marriage Routines

(credit to: louisa_xo)

Nate leaves early in the morning before I wake up and then I don’t see him all day until after work. He makes a point to wake me up just a little bit when he leaves and lay over top of me and hug me and kiss my face for at least a minute before saying bye. I love this and it makes me not feel so alone when I wake up and he’s gone. He also text messages me when I wake up each morning with a really upbeat, “Good morning Wife!” text message. It’s always different though and I wait anxiously to see what he will text me. And then, I let him know when I’ve arrived safely at work. And we text throughout the day on our breaks. This communication is key- in my opinion! It’s just little reminders all day that we miss each other and are thinking of the other one. I’m super thankful for our little routines!
