Let's charge our glasses!


Let's charge our glasses to bridal showers that have a theme, to friends that educate me about marriage, to free movie vouchers, to outlet stores that sell everything a little cheaper than normal, to hours spent at ikea, to friendly barristers that make great chai lattes, to a fiancé that makes me smile when I'm down, to soda streams that make water more exciting, to exfoliating scrub to make you feel as soft as a duckling, to the postman who delivers me letters and parcels, to ticks on my checklist, for a mum who gives me ice-cream for dinner, for a dad that is handy in the house and outside and for God who provides us with all we need.

Cheers!
Happy Monday Everyone!

Happy Christmas

I hope that you all had a very happy Christmas! 

Some of the things I was thankful for over this holiday season was…


 A reason to build a gingerbread village, which became gifts for some special relatives. 


 The feeling of joy that came from celebrating, giving and spending time with loved ones.


Buying my very own Christmas tree and getting creative with gift wrapping.


 Being able to make rocky road and overdose on chocolate.


 For dogs that guard the pile of wrapping paper.


For festive table settings and delicious three course meals.


And most importantly for a Saviour that was born to give us eternal life. 

Happy as Larry.

Thankful

Sitting on the couch watching the sunshine turn into a thunderstorm is glorious. The smell of the rain hitting the warm ground is one of the best and it has left me thinking of some of the things I have to be thankful for.


 Thankful for times when I can share a giant donut with the love of my life. 


 Thankful for bath times to relax and forget about all the worries in the world.


 Thankful for times when God teaches me wonderful things about being a women of God. 
This book is great, based on Titus 2


 Thankful for puppies that make our hearts melt and love us without judgement.


 Thankful for hair styling to lift my spirits and make the wedding feel even more closer.


Thankful for game nights with friends.


 Thankful for anniversary dates with Mr J and spontateous Christmas light hunting. 


Thankful for the Christmas season coming up fast. 
A season to celebrate Jesus's birth and the act of giving. 

& always thankful for a wonderful family. 

Gratitude turns everything into enough.

Gratitude

Gratitude turns everything into enough. 

Lately I have been thankful for a new summer dress and the sunshine to wear it in.


For coffee and cronut dates to please say please.



For close friends to relax, talk, laugh, play board games and eat with.


For times to share the love.


For pageant days to pick up chalk, draw on Adelaide main roads and feel like a big kid


For cute cafe's that make yummy chai lattes and refer to me by name


For a fiance that is brave enough to face a baseball head on and smash it out of the park.


For nights when Mum and Dad sleepover.

For plastic plates to prevent dishes and for mum's that willingly do the dishes anyway.

For Dad's delicious bacon and egg mcmuffin with orange juice.


And most importantly, for quality family and friend time. 

What have you been thankful for lately?
