Nothingness and Atwoods

November 22 - It is SO nice to have a weekend to do NOTHING! I am so thankful for today b/c there was nothing on my schedule. I did have a "To Do" list that consisted of laundry and cleaning my kitchen. I also had some errands I wanted to do, but nothing that was so important that it HAD to get done. I spent the day making a breakfast casserole, watching movies with Ken, doing laundry, picking up a little, going through a years worth of pictures I ordered from Shutterfly (for my 2008 scrapbook), and watching the Tech/OU game. It was SO nice to do nothing. I love these weekends, especially in the fall, because they are very rare. I am so thankful for the nothingness that took place on Saturday. OH, I have another thing I am thankful for....which I am adding after I wrote what I was thankful for on the 23rd. I LOVE the wood burning stove Ken has at his house. Its amazing!!! I love when I walk into his house that it smells of burning firewood and its SO warm!!! I am thankful that he has one and that we use it A LOT!

November 23 - Today I am thankful for Ken and I's date to Atwoods. I know its small and probably weird to a lot of people, but its a place we both LOVE to go...and go together. We looked at boots, carharts, clothes, water pumps, Christmas decorations, and an OSU windmill (which gave us a GREAT idea for the one Ken already has). I ended up buying a bird seed wreath for my grandmother and Ken bought a tarp/cover for his fire wood. All day today was a good day. We had some friends go to church with us that don't usually go. We had lunch together and then went to Walmart. It was just one of those really simple days of, again, nothingness....but it was fun and we laughed a lot. I went to the Men's Basketball game with my friend, Rachel. Now I am watching TV and Ken is hunting. Iam just so thankful for the relaxing weekend. But today, my favorite was our date to Atwoods. :)

(I do have to say that Atwoods has always been one of my favorite places. I always loved going there and other feed stores with my dad. It was and is a place we love to go too. I am so thankful that since I am not in the same place as my dad, that God gave me someone who loves it too. While Ken can't take my dad's place, its AMAZING to see how God gave me someone so similar to one of my most favorite people in the world....my dad!).
