Return of Weekly Gratitude & the Best Holiday Ever

I need to apologize. Forgive me for having taken a prolonged hiatus from my "Weekly Gratitude" feature. That was (and still is) one thing that produces that "warm, fuzzy" feeling inside after I complete a post. So without further adieu...

This week I am thankful for:

1. Seeing Amy after she got home from her doctor in Nashville last night. Praise God for a good report and keep praying for her healing!

2. Plans to see my girls on Friday night. Miss their sweet cheeks so much.

3. Completing my Miss Tennessee paperwork! Getting it in the mail tomorrow! Can I get a whoop whoop?

4. Finishing the last few seconds of my Miss Tennessee dance routine. Thank the Lord for Krista Kent! Now...to polish it!

5. My precious momma for going shopping with me yesterday.

6. Jason's Deli. 'Nough said.

7. Ty for sending me an emoticon bird flapping its wings in a text message this morning.

Now! Much better. I'd like to keep this a weekly routine....but don't hold it against me if I skip a few! Girl's got a lot on her mind, ya'll!

And this post wouldn't be complete without acknowledging that today is... are you ready for this?!??! Today is...NATIONAL CEREAL DAY. That pretty much translates to National Caroline's Favorite Food on Earth Day. (Cheerios, yes please.) I would say I was going to celebrate, but, um...it's kinda not celebrating if you celebrate everyday regardless. :) Guilty!

Weekly Gratitude for 7/17-7/23:

This week, I am grateful for...

1. ...my extremely talented & so very kind and caring dance teacher, Krista Kent. Big props to her. Without her, my talent for my upcoming prelim would be nothing!

2. ...the flavors of the tooth polish they use at the dentist. When I'm a dental hygienist, I'm going to suggest they bring in flavors like sprinkled cupcake and jolly rancher. Simple pleasures, people.

3. ... (speaking of simple pleasures), the sheer joy I get out of ripping off the receipt off the machine at work. Something about that sound...

4. ...(speaking of work), the new amazing delicious yummy nomnom scent of PocketBacs we have, Honey Pretzel! Ohhh it is so yum. It's a part of the new "Lunchbox" PocketBac collection we have going on.

5. ...my momma. We spent a whole day together today shopping for pageant & we had such a good time. Never take your mother (or anyone you love!) for granted!

6. ...BCBG, for I now having my opening number dress for prelim time. I could probably write a whole book on how much I love BCBG. Amazing dresses!!!!

7. ...the Girls' Night we had on Monday night. I so so so LOVED getting to see my girls and catch up with them. We had been apart for way too long! A nice little dinner at Olive Garden started us off right, and we ended the night watching Horrible Bosses...HILARIOUS!
