28 Days of Thankful

Okay okay, I know that the Canadian Thanksgiving was last month, but Allison is hosting an Instagram project and it can be done any month of the year! Throughout the month of November, post an Instagram picture every day with something that you're thankful for, and use the hashtag #28daysofthankful. She'll share her favorites every week on her blog, so check it out!

I've started the project and will share my pictures with you every Friday! To start off the month's pictures, here's Day #1!

1// I'm thankful for all the friends and family who support us through everything. This was our guest book at our wedding and I could read the notes over and over again!

Halloween: 7 Deadly Sins Link Party!

I've been away from the blog for a little while, but really it's just been work, dog park, home. Not much to blog about! While relaxing the other night and reading some blogs, I came across Cara's post and thought it could be fun to do! I'm never good at these kinds of questions, but why not give it a shot!?

Anyways, I hope you participate!

Happy Halloween!

Pride
Seven great things in your life:

01. My marriage. It's only been 4 months, but it's amazing.

02. Family. Not sure where we'd be today without them.

03. Falls in to family, but my animals.

04. The fact that I haven't been unemployed in a long time. 

05. Coffee. How could I not put that here?

06. The friends who have stuck by my side through it all. Wedding planning? I almost went nuts!

07. The fact that I only get pimples once a month? That's pretty great.

Envy

Seven things you lack and covet:

01. The ability to save my money the way that I should.

02. To be honest, a freaking baby! When it's the right time, one will come along.

03. Patience. 

04. Motivation. It's been out the window for a looong time!

05. A healthy version of myself.

06. Time. Not enough hours in the day to get everything done!

07. More blog posts, haha!

Wrath

Seven things that make you angry:

01. Horrible drivers. How do you have your license?!

02. Rude people. 

03. My lack of motivation.

04. When my cat plays with the blinds/curtains at 3am because she tipped her bowl of food over.

05. Repetition. Beats in a song, sometimes routine, being told the obvious.

06. Another TBH, when people lack common sense. Bad? 

07. Trolls on the internet. Get over yourself! 

Sloth

Seven things that you neglect to do:

01. Exercise. Exercise. Exercise. Can I just make that all 7?

02. Eat healthy. Chips are easier to grab, especially when we don't sell fruit at work...

03. Walk my dog more. (Just judge me already and get it over with).

04. Be consistent. 

05. Keep in touch with old friends, and family.

06. Read. Magazines count, right?

07. Cook dinner for us!

03. New boots!

04. A house with an acreage.

05. To be able to get manicures and pedicures every month.

06. A nice, professional camera. Tired of my iPhone!

07. I have noooooooo idea!

Gluttony

Seven guilty pleasures:

01. A comfy bed. Once I sit on it after work, I'm done.

02. Coffee.

03. Waking up and falling asleep while playing on my phone. Bad?

04. Venting to my step-mom about our coworkers who do nothing!

05. Gossip magazines. 

06. Sounds weird, but just giving my dog a bunch of bones so he's quiet for a while.  

07. Teen Mom/16 & Pregnant. I can't get enough.

Lust

Seven things you love about love:

01. When I think of love, I think of Rob. So knowing we're always together, for life!

02. Knowing someone is there when I get home, or when I need someone.

03. Having someone understand me.

04. Butterflies in my stomach.

05. Laughing all the time.

06. Holding hands never gets old.

07. The commitment.

Our Change

Well, we made it to Alberta! I moved with the animals 2 weeks before Rob did. Although it was a rough 2 weeks, the animals and I survived long enough to welcome Rob to Alberta in the middle of September. I started work at a drugstore with my Step-Mom, and Rob starts his electrician apprenticeship tomorrow! I'm going to start looking for jobs in my field of study...it's just finding the time and energy, or just not procrastinating. 

The weeks I was without my husband was eventful to say the least. Gunner got sick twice, where he couldn't even keep water in him and woke me up through out the night needing to go outside pretty quickly. Rob and I agreed to wait and see what happened, and both times Gunner got better after 12 hours. Our theory is a change in the water, and just the change in general. He's doing awesome now!

My car decided one day on my way to work that it would just lose it's engine plug and stop working. Thankfully my dad is a tow truck driver and was able to pick up my car when he started his shift. The only payment was a hug! Today, it got towed to my sister-in-law's house so her husband can so graciously fix my car. 

Two nights ago, Koshka got out through our bedroom window and she was nowhere to be found. Rob was sure if she wanted to, or was able to come back, she would have. All I could think of was my poor baby trapped somewhere, attacked by an animal, or just lost in general. Thankfully this morning at around 6:00am, Rob woke me up because he heard Koshka meowing outside our window! It was like a movie how I ran outside to get her! We made eye contact and ran towards each other, haha! I'm glad and so relieved to have her back inside, safe and sound.

My goal is to have some more wedding posts up pretty soon! Thanks for being so patient with me! :)
