A time to give thanks!

During this wonderful time of year devoted to sharing all the things we are thankful for I thought I would share my blessings! Please feel free to share yours and think about what you are most thankful for!



 Having Faith and God in my life Life can be hard, stressful, dramatic, and simply draining. I am so thankful that I have an amazing God in my life that fills me back up, gives me hope and keeps me going. With out his love and forgiveness I would truly be nothing. 

My amazing hubby- I say it all the time but Adam is my best friend and I am so thankful that I get to spend the rest of my life with him by my side. He is the most incredible husband and I am truly blessed to be his wife. He makes my life complete and I cant wait to see where life takes us from here.

My wonderful family- I have the BEST family there is. Two incredible parents who have guided me, loved me, pushed me, respected me and made me the person I am today. An awesome little brother that I am so proud of and makes me laugh every time I'm around him. And my extended family is amazing too; the Pipkin's, Keefe's, Cooper's, and Garza's are such an incredible group of people and I just cant say enough about how lucky I am to be one of them.

The In-Laws- Ok well honestly I just consider them my family too, because they are THAT awesome! But I thought I would give them their own category. I married into the best family and there is never a time that I don't feel completely accepted and loved by all of them. I'm so thankful that God blessed me with the Alexander's.

Incredible Friends- Throughout my life I have had amazing friends. Some come and some go, and some I know will be there for a life time, but at one point in my life they have all touched me in such an amazing way. They have been like family, made me laugh, lifted me up, and guided me through this journey of life. No matter how old I get I will always need my girlfriends.


A wonderful job/career- I don't talk about it much on my blog but I have a really great job! Is it what I imagined I would be doing when I "grew up" no... but in someways its better. By title I'm nothing special, just a client service associate. But to my team and our clients I am much more. I feel like part of a family... a very dysfunctional one but still a family. And in this bad economy I am even more thankful that I have a job I enjoy, a job I'm good at, and a job that is stable. I know not everyone is lucky enough to say that. I'm also thankful that this unique job gives me the flexibility to grow, to change and to adjust. One day will never be like the next, and it's always changing but I'm thankful that at this job the only thing holding me back from being what I want to be is me.

My babies- Gizmo, Smalls, and Roxy brighten my day. Their love is truly unconditional and I am so thankful I get to go home to such adorable, loving, sweet animals every day.  

Ok so those are my big ones. There are so many little things on a daily basis that I'm thankful for, but the top 7 are the things I would never want to live with out. They are my life and I am so thankful to be blessed with this life.

Today is my Friday!

Yay today is my Friday! I took tomorrow off as just a random day. As a matter of fact I took hardly any vacation days this year so I am left with a ton to use up by December 31st! I'm planning on lots of 3 day weekends to charge my batteries. No exciting plan just sleeping in and getting caught up on some me time! Should be good! But after a relaxing Friday the rest of my weekend is back to my usual busy schedule! Eek! Ladies night Friday night, off for a relaxing night in Fort Collins Saturday, and then we get to celebrate little miss Clara for her Baptism on Sunday! So looking forward to some good family time and quality time with the nieces! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

The beautiful Miss Clara Dianne! 


Me with my adorable niece!

Adam and I with our lovely nieces/god daughters! So excited to celebrate Clara on Sunday!

And a few lovely quotes for your weekend!

A much needed... boyish weekend!

This weekend was exactly what I needed. Lots of laughter, cocktails, fun, love and friendship. It was also a pretty boyish weekend… which was definitely what I needed. You know one of those weekends where you eat like you shouldn’t, don’t care how you dress, watch football, shoot guns and just have a good time without thinking about it? Yep that’s the kind of weekend I needed and that exactly what I got. Friday night my wonderful in-laws were in town so we had dinner and margaritas at one of my favorite places, The Rio. Then Saturday woke up early for a big yummy breakfast, followed by a couple hours at the shooting range (where believe it or not after like 10 years of not shooting a gun I actually kicked some butt!) and ended the night at my best friend’s house drinking cheap champagne (ok so it wasn’t ALL boyish) and watching the Pacquiao fight, it was a blast! All followed by an extremely lazy Sunday of football watching, errand running, more football watching, dinner and beer at a sports bar. Yep I feel better and I’m thankful that I seem to be back on track. Hope you had exactly the type of weekend you needed.

Smalls on our Lazy Sunday

 Adam shooting a ... 50 caliber??? I dunno it was CRAZY loud and sounded like serious business! Kind of sounded like a canon... not sure what a canon would really sound like but I imagine something like this!
 Me shooting 22... not nearly as crazy, but still fun, I also got to shoot Adam's 45! Lots of fun! And a nice stress relief!


And of course some quotes. :)

Funny funny dog pictures! Because we could all use a little dog silliness on a Monday!

Ok so we all know I'm obsessed with Pinterest! And lately they have had the funniest pictures with dogs in them! So so funny! And honestly who doesn't love funny pictures of dogs?! So  I thought I would share them all in one place! So on this lovely Monday (ugh) here is a little something to make you laugh!










And then I ran across this little guy on one of my favorite bloggers site today... it's a sign that we needed some puppy laughter today!



Have a great week everyone! xoxo ~ Jamie
