Well I am sure not keeping up my attempt to post everyday, but nonetheless I will at least have something to be thankful for everyday! Why? Cause God is awesome. No questions asked. :)
Saturday I was thankful for the new horse I started driving. Every once and a while at my job, I am put on a horse that I have not driven before. It is something I enjoy about my job, both that I get to be partnered with a horse for quite some time, but also that each time I drive a different or new horse, I am reminded how each horse is so very unique. I love that about horses–each one is a little bit different, and each one has a special personality (some are more “special” than others, but that’s a different story). On Saturday, I got to drive a big Belgian gelding with quite a personality. I am still getting used to him, but just from what I saw on Saturday, he is a good boy. I was thankful that he didn’t try and pull anything on me and that we got along. It makes the night go so much easier, and it’s so much more fun when you drive a horse that you get along with. :) Horses are just so awesome and I wish that they were a bigger part of my life–but a girl can dream!
Sunday I was thankful for 3D glasses. 3D glasses are cool. Movies are awesome, but when you put on a pair of those glasses, an awesome movie is transformed into an even awesome-er movie. Plus, they are very fashionable so you can rock those out when you are out on the town! Real life! In 3D! Haha…irony :) But I had a very relaxing Sunday, was able to catch up on some stuff and I got to spend some time with my awesome friend going to see Lion King 3D. That movie was one of the defining movies of my childhood and it was kinda a surreal experience seeing it in the theater and in 3D. It was such a cool treat to be able to sit in a theater with little kids that had never seen the movie before and hear their giggles and their gasps at all the right times. Way fun. Plus I looked extra cool with the 3D glasses…
Today, I am thankful for carmel corn. Yup. Homemade carmel corn. With Amish popcorn. And lots of Amish butter…and brown sugar…and condensed milk…and so many good things packed into such a tiny morsel of awesomeness. I got to spend some time with one of my closest friends today and we made carmel corn together!! I always love spending time with her, but I especially love cooking or baking with her. She is awesome that way. But today…today was amazing. I couldn’t believe how such a simple thing could be soooo good. And it felt like we ushered in fall, right there in her kitchen. Eating carmel corn (on an apple slice–which is amazing…try it) while drinking apple cider. I am pretty sure if you looked up autumn in the dictionary you would have seen our silly smiles while we licked the carmel-y goodness off our fingers :) It was a great time and I was thankful for the time we were able to catch up and just hang out. And I may or may not be snacking on some of that carmel corn right now…yup. :)
