74. New jeans! They fit so nicely, and I feel so good in them. It's no easy chore to find jeans that fit perfectly!

75. A sweet, napping baby. She has been going down for naps so well this week. She wakes up so happy.

76. A clean kitchen. I took everything off the counters, scrubbed them, scrubbed everything, and put it all back in a different configuration. The more I cook, the more I learn about the best way to organize our little kitchen.

77. The pumpkin that is sitting on our table. I have about a thousand pumpkin recipes that I want to try. I'm just trying to get the rest of the house cleaned up, because I know this pumpkin endeavor is going to take some time!

78. My house. It is half old, and half new. My husband has been working on it every night for almost a year now, and our renovations are coming along nicely. I am mostly looking forward to having the kitchen done, but I am being patient and enjoying everything he has done so far.

79. My job. I know I have been thankful for this before...(this and several other things on my list always seem to pop up...I'm just so thankful!) So much is changing at the salon, and it feels like a completely new job that I didn't have to interview for! The new owner has cleaned everything up, restocked the shelves, and brought in a new excitement.

80. Cloth Diapers. I know it's silly, but I just love my cloth. O had a really bad diaper rash because daddy didn't rinse all the suds out of our diapers a few washes ago...Well, it was really mommy and daddy...It was about 1 am when the washer finally beeped that it was done, and there were suds...and I knew it was bad, but Bryan said it would be okay. I KNOW I shouldn't have listened to him, lol. Anyways...a few days later we had really bad rash problems, and I couldn't figure it out...but then I remembered. I stripped all of our diapers, and her rash was gone this morning! My grandma had her in disposables, covered in Desitin ALL day yesterday, and that didn't clear it up. My grandma told me to do the same thing for over night last night, but I followed my gut and put a freshly stripped bumgenius on her with a little bit of lanolin, and she is clear today! This is turning into more of a blog than a snippet of thanks! haha...

70. 20 months of hard work, tears, and faith finally paying off...the NEW owner of my salon seems like a great gal! I am finally excited about my career again!

71. My precious 5 month old. Every day is more fun than the day before.

72. The humble $60 that my husband squeezed out of our bank account for me to buy jeans that "make me feel pretty"...after an entire painful day at the mall, I am still on the lookout.

73. My new 'do! My hair is light, light, light! I also got a few subtle red streaks...I think I am going to want more. I also got a much needed trim...I am happy!
