How quickly a week goes! It's already Thursday (thank heavens!), and it's time for some thankfulness.

1. I'm so grateful that my Lord has a sense of humor...'nuff said.

2. Nikki. (Hi, fraaaaand!) Seriously, one the most aca-awesome girls I know, and you're one of my oldest friends to boot. (Wait. Nikki, I'm not saying that YOU'RE old cuz if you are then I'm old too...just had to clear that up.) Nikki, thank you for putting up with all my whining and drama over the years. You've always been there for me with open ears, an open house, and an even more open heart. You've provided me and so many other girls with an amazing example of what a Godly wife and mom should be. I love that we have the freedom to be the goofballs God made us to be together. Thanks for being a co-member of the dorky laugh club. Pretty sure you and I are charter members of that club. We've shared garbage bag dresses, movie nights, an ever burning love of the cinematic masterpieces that are "Ten Things I Hate About You" and "17 Again", countless ladies retreats, tears, frustrations, Twix (we're the only two that know how to eat those darned things the right way), road trips, 80's music, and so many more fantastic memories. I can't wait to see what new ones we make!

3. A love of baking. I'm definitely not the best at it, but nothing makes me feel more confident or helps me calm down more than making up a batch of cookies, throwing together a cheesecake, or whipping up a coffee cake. Some of my best prayer times are during a solo baking session with some sweet music in background. There's just something cathartic about kneading dough and sifting flour. What else can I say? I love it.
