101. My sweet, sweet baby. She is a joy.

102. Watching my parents get joy from her. They had a really rough year last year, and my mom has even told me that the baby has helped her get through everything. She is truly a gift from God.

103. The tears my daddy gets in his eyes when Olivia smiles at him.

104. Baby kisses. I got 9 in a row this afternoon. She took a lot of time out of her busy schedule to squeeze in 9 whole kisses!

105. My dear husband who helped me color my hair tonight. What a guy!

106. My brother's laughter. He is one of the funniest people I know, I had tears just laughing at him laughing!

107. My lovely sister in law. Olivia is so crazy about her, and she is so crazy about Olivia.

94. Warm January days. It has been close to 50 degrees several times this week.

95. Potlucks with my church family. I am slowly starting to trust again after all of last year's drama. It felt good to sit down and eat a meal with everyone.

96. Baby showers. A promise of what is to come. I can't wait for little baby girl P to come within a few weeks. The mama is one of my dear friends, and she home births her babies. I can't wait to hear her story, and add it to my mental list of amazing home birth stories...Maybe me...Maybe someday!

97. Fresh babies. I got to meet my cousin's 1 1/2 week old, Ashton. He is beautiful, and so tiny. Olivia was born even smaller than him, it's hard to remember. He smelled so, so sweet.

98. Clean laundry! I have been working hard tonight to get ALMOST everything washed and folded. A few more loads tomorrow should finish it off!

99. The Office. I don't know what I did with my spare time before we discovered THE funniest show ever. We watch the same episodes over and over.

100. Our bathroom almost being done. It's SO close!

I haven't been here for awhile.

88. A 30 degree day after a week of subzero temperatures. I didn't even wear a coat when I went out.

89. My dear mother finally giving in to me, and going to my chiropractor. I am so excited to see her get better.

90. My 8 month old baby. She is such a big girl.

91. Turning around in the computer chair, and seeing Olivia giggling at herself in the mirror, and the 2 cats sleeping peacefully right behind her. Picture perfect.

92. Days off.

93. Having a little "premiere party" with my brother and sister in law for the premiere of Chuck. We are geeks!

81. The fun costume party my husband threw for me Friday night. He is so sweet.

82. My hilarious friends, and their thrift store costumes.

83. My tiny bumblebee.

84. 10 years at a wonderful church.

85. New beginnings.

86. 2 of my closest friends going out on a date some night this week. I love watching young love in bloom.

87. Having no guilt about my plan to do absolutely nothing on my birthday.

88. The sweet little bald lady I am going to spend my birthday with.

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...
