Thanksgiving is a Treasure

I am grateful for so many things.
I'm thankful for my wonderful husband, my loving families, my great friends.
I'm grateful for my life, the roof over my head, conversations with my brothers and laughing with my sisters. 
I'm thankful for the silly times with my husband and for his understanding nature. 
I'm thankful for my body, the chances I have to grow and work on myself, the love of those around me, and all of the many blessings in my life.
What are you grateful for?
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Everyone loves to know what you think of their treasures! One of my favorite things about winter is bundling up under a blanket and drinking hot chocolate. I love it! Especially when it's snowing outside. Today, at 3pm a huge blizzard is supposed to hit my town. The radio said that it will be the worst snow storm Utah has seen in 100 years! So, everyone is being sent home early from my work. 
I'm hoping that when we get home, my hubby and I can just cuddle, watch a movie and drink hot coco. 
So, even if the storm doesn't hit, the fact that I get to leave early and indulge in the goodness of hot chocolatey goodness is a treasure.

Oh dear, I'm so sorry guys! I thought today was Monday for most of the day, and when I realized how wrong I was, I wasn't near a computer... Oops!
Anyway, welcome to Small Treasure Tuesdays!

It's beginning to be that special time of year again!I love the holiday season! 
While I am super excited to put up Christmas decorations, I want to wait until after Thanksgiving -or at least closer to Thanksgiving :-)
A treasure I'm appreciating today is family

I love my family. They are wonderful and I'm so blessed to have them!

And my new family. They are all wonderful as well, I couldn't have married into a better family! 
I am one very blessed girl :-)
And since Christmas is on my mind too, I had to share these pictures.

On our way to my parents house last Christmas Eve we saw Santa beginning to make his rounds on his Harley

Isn't he darling?
I really love this time of year!

You can link up until Saturday night!

  Today my treasure is working out with all my sisters Every Monday my sister Amber, and my sister in law Annie do the 30 Day Shred together. It's fun, and hard. We encourage each other to keep going when we want to break the TV and curse at Jillian. My other sister, Helena, lives in Pittsburgh so she hasn't been able to workout with us. But now she has a webcam!
So last night we all worked out together, and it.was.awesome.
Helena is very entertaining on skype :-)
What's a treasure you're appreciating today? 

Follow Me. NOW is a Treasure

Welcome new followers from Follow Me. NOW
You know those "follow parties" that happen all around the blogging community?Well, my sister started one. (You'll find her blog very amusing)
Make sure you read the rules guidelines  

She's very strict about these things. And they are all really important.

I'm hoping she doesn't notice that I'm not putting her button on my sidebar. 

Or she might leave me a mean comment. 

I threw it in a few extra times to make up for it.

Oh well, she'll leave an even meaner one when she see's that I am not following the 16 people...

So, basically if you Follow Me. NOW (FM.N) and leave me a comment telling me that you are FM.N then I'll follow you back! Isn't that genius?

Have a good weekend!

And don't forget to FM.N

Writing Reviews is a Treasure

I'm pleased to announce that I will have the opportunity to review something from CSN stores soon! I'm pretty excited :-)
Now to decide what to review... maybe I'll choose one of their many nightstands, or coffee tables.
It's going to be a difficult decision. They have over 200 stores, and they sell pretty much everything.
Maybe I'll get a salad spinner... I've been wanting one for a while now.
Anyway, it will be my first time writing a review of a product. Any suggestions?

Cheetah and Dog Best Friends are a Treasure

Since today isn't "Wordless" like yesterday ;-) I'd like to explain the picture I used for Wordless Wednesday
When my family went to Disney, we also went to the Sand Diego Zoo. 
I LOVE that zoo! They are undoubtedly the best zoo in the world-they have the most animals, and they work very hard to protect all animals and species.
I love animals a lot.
Anyway, my favorite part was the cheetah. The reason? This picture says it all:

 All the cheetahs that are in the zoo (and some wolves) are paired with a golden retriever since they are pups, they grow up together. They are best friends. :-)

And get this, the golden retriever has the dominant relationship! It is so cute. The dogs stay with them in their cages, and they not only keep each other company, but the dog helps the cheetah feel secure and safe.

(source)It's darling.
I wasn't able to get my own picture of the dog and cheetah together, that sign of their first cheetah/dog duo is as close as I got. But when I go back I'll get a picture then :-)

Here's another adorable story

Wordless Wednesday is a Treasure

This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Welcome to Small Treasure Tuesdays!!
Did you guys have a great Halloween? I sure hope so.
Halloween is so fun. I love dressing up, eating candy, going to haunted houses, playing with dry ice... everything!

Of course my treasure today is Halloween
We got to hang out with my family the day before Halloween and carved pumpkins, and then we spent time with Michaels family on Halloween. It was awesome.
We even went to a haunted house on Halloween night -I screamed a lot!

We called ourselves "The Colorful Cap Couple" :-)

 I had a lot of fun throwing together a bunch of colors for this.

Like my pants? They are plastic! Let me tell you, they kept my legs very warm :-)

Unfortunately bloggers up-loader for images stopped working after these pics. So you'll have to wait suspensively for more Halloween pictures. Our pumpkins look awesome! :-)

I'm excited to read your treasures!  Thank you to everyone who participates.

The linky will be open until Friday night
