Lately I’ve been grateful…

for painting classes,

family birthday celebrations,

for espresso & new countertops.

And for signs of spring!
Happy Monday, friends! What have you been grateful for lately?
Lately I’ve been grateful…

for painting classes,

family birthday celebrations,

for espresso & new countertops.

And for signs of spring!
Lately I’ve been grateful…

And sunset walks.

For opportunities to try new hobbies.

And fermentation airlocks.

For a midnight cat to sit in my window.

And the fun of wrapping of Hannukah gifts.

For new year’s eve hikes.

And national forests.

And that Not Your Father’s Rootbeer pairs PERFECTLY with Mellow Mushroom pizza.
Lately I’ve been grateful…
For dances with this amazing life partner.
For a new [birthday] coffee mug, and for a fluffy cat to claim the box it came in.
For birthday cupcakes.
For time to paint.
And for that feeling of joy and thankfulness that comes from knowing that not just one, but two of your brothers have been fortunate enough to find beautiful love stories – and to marry a woman that will love them, cherish them, and care for them, for all their days. May you have many, many first dances, Jeffery and Katie Beth.
To have these adorable party animals as parents (and friends!).
For the magic of an Amazon cardboard box, and this fluffy cat who reminds me to slow down and enjoy the little things like whisker kisses.

For kayak trips and fun times with my husband’s awesome co-workers.

And for 5ks and upcoming adventures!
Happy Friday, everyone! Do you have any adventures on the horizon? What are you looking forward to most over the next few months?
6 years of marriage, you guys! SIX! How amazing is that? And, as my mother used to add, “we still like each other!”
Today I am grateful for all those weekend days we spent exploring Savannah, GA as newlyweds.
For special occasions to celebrate the people we love.
For mountain trips.
And hiking adventures.
For graduations.
And for holidays.

For fun vacations.
And time spent at home.
I’m grateful for this comfortable love that binds us together.
How lucky I am to be in love with my best friend.

Dear Scott, what a year it’s been! I can’t wait to spend another 6 years with you. I’ll love you when we’re 100.
Love, your K. Belle
