Thankful for TODAY 8.2.11

1) Cheap American Airlines tickets!


2) I get to go "HOME" in 31 days!


3) I get to see my best friend and her husband in 31 days!


4) I get to meet my sweet little Olivia in 31 days!


5) In 31 days I get to leave town and just relax for a few days with people I love!


Oh right this is suppose to be a blog about living in the here and now and what I am thankful for today....


I am just so excited to go to Minnesota in 31 short days.  I haven't been home in over a year and half and my soul longs for good ol' Minnesota time.  While today was a good day and there are many things to be thankful for, I will write about those another day because today my heart is overflowing with joy about going home!  Being in Minnesota typically brings me such peace and rest and I'm excited to have that after these last few months.  I am still praying that by that time I will be about two weeks into a new job (speaking of which, I got a call today that puts me one step closer to that!!) and I will be in need of a break. So today I am thankful for my roots!  I am thankful to call myself a Minnesotan and while I may never physically live in that state again a piece of my heart will always reside there!
