November's Ten Things

November was like a dream to me.  I traveled to DC and Albuquerque and it seriously doesn't even seem like I was home at all!  But what a wonderful month it was, with lots to smile about. 

 1.  MY SISTER!!  Flying across the country alone to visit her was a definite highlight, and I smiled for the entire week.
2.  Homemade Apple Butter.  Seriously.  This stuff makes me smile every time.
3.  Visiting family in Albuquerque!  It was fun to hang out, talk and be with loved ones, and it was fun to see the kids enjoy each other too.
4.  Our Thanksgiving Feast.  What can I say?  I really like food.
5.  I spent quite a lot of my Thanksgiving Day going through all my blessings in my head.  They overwhelmed me and filled me with gratitude for all I've been blessed with. 
6.  H O M E !  Coming home after two trips really made me smile.  Both trips were amazing and fun and wonderful, but there is nothing like home.  And I'm a home body through and through.
7.  Celebrating my Anniversary.  I have the best hubby ever.  xoxo
8.  Singing in a concert this past Saturday!  I'll have to write about it tomorrow because it was an incredible experience!
9.  Today, while my kids were at school, I went through their closets and threw out A LOT of stuff.  A purge of junk toys!  Oh man, am I ever smiling!  It was totally awesome.  And when they got home, they didn't even notice.  A huge bag of garbage and two bags of junk toys out!  Wu!
10.  My friend taught me to crochet.  I'm working on and have made a few things already, and I'm loving it!
